The most eagerly awaited new musical of the last twenty years held its World Premiere at London’s Adelphi Theatre in front a dazzling star-studded audience. Dubbed as his biggest challenge yet, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Love Never Dies’ continues the stories of the principal characters of The Phantom of the Opera - The Phantom, Christine Daae and Raoul ten years after The Phantom’s mysterious disappearance from the Paris Opera House.

The show tells the story of Christine Daaé, who accepts an offer to come to America and perform at New York’s fabulous new playground of the world - Coney Island. After Christine arrives in New York with her husband Raoul and their son Gustave, she soon discovers the identity of the anonymous impresario who has lured her from France to sing. She also realises the identity of the Love Never Dies is a rollercoaster ride of obsession and intrigue… in which music and memory can play cruel tricks… and The Phantom sets out to prove that, indeed, love never dies.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the Phantom of the Opera is the most successful musical in history and has been enjoyed by over 100,000,000 theatre-lovers worldwide since its opening at London’s Majesty’s Theatre in October 1986. Superbreak has sold over 25,000 theatre break packages to Phantom of The Opera and expects Love Never Dies to be as popular. Initial sales are already very brisk.

Superbreak’s Head of Theatre, David Thomas, said after the World Premier: “Thank the Lord for bringing Romance back to the West End Stage. Andrew LLoyd Webber’s gorgeously haunting, soaring and totally hypnotic score held the audience in its spell from the first spine-tingling bars to the final, final curtain call -and then out into the night. You could see it in their eyes, in their step, the hugs - Love Never Dies, Romance Never Dies, and this music of the night is more potent than ever. (Still can’t work out how the couple next to us managed to hold hands and applaud at the same time)”.
