LOVE NEVER DIES
The principal characters of The Phantom of The Opera continue their story in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End.
Christine Daaé was the beautiful Parisienne soprano in Phantom of the Opera who became the protégée of the mysterious disfigured musical genius known as the Phantom.
Love Never Dies moves The Phantom of the Opera forward ten years with the masked hero Ramin Karimloo still pining for Christine (Celia Graham), but now far away from the Paris Opera House and owner of an attraction on New York’s Coney Island called Phantasma.
The Phantom anonymously invites Christine to perform at Phantasma and she arrives there with 10 year old son Gustave and husband Raoul (played by David Thaxton) who has turned into a debt-ridden, hard drinking gambler. It would seem that more happened between the Phantom and Christine back at the Paris Opera House than we were led to believe as Gustave is the Phantom’s son.
So Christine’s dilemma is to sing or not to sing for the Phantom …? I will not reveal the denouement but the final death scene (I won’t say who dies) is extraordinarily moving.
Other cast members include Tam Mutu (Alternative Phantom), Liz Robertson (Madame Giry), Haley Flaherty (Meg Giry), Tracey Penn (Fleck), Adam Pearce (Squelch) and Charles Brunton (Gangle).
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics by Glenn Slater and Book by Ben Elton. It is directed by Jack O’Brien, designed by Bob Crowley with choreography by Jerry Mitchell.
Ramin Karimloo is doing six performances a week as the Phantom. Tam Mutu is scheduled to perform the role on Monday and Thursday evenings.
THIS PRODUCTION CLOSED ON 27TH AUGUST 2011
