The greatest love story of all time continues in Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. With music by Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Glenn Slater, additional lyrics are by Charles Hart, and the book is by Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton, with additional material by Slater and Frederick Forsyth.

Be transported to New York’s playground, Coney Island, where the masked phantom has been hiding amongst the freaks and sideshows for 10 long years, yearning for his one true love and musical protégée, Christine Daaé. Lured by the bright lights and financial rewards of Coney, Christine and her family flee Manhattan to perform on stage for one last time, but Christine soon discovers the true identity of her mysterious impresario and that all is not what it seems.

Love Never Dies made its world premiere in the West End in 2010; the following year an acclaimed Australian production opened at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre, directed by Simon Phillips. It later transferred to Sydney’s Capitol Theatre, was released as a film in 2012, and successfully toured across North America in 2017-19.
