The year is 1907. It is 10 years after his disappearance from the Paris Opera House and the Phantom has escaped to a new life in New York where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak-shows of Coney Island. In this new electrically-charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is his love - Christine Daaé. Now one of the world’s finest sopranos, Christine is struggling in an ailing marriage to Raoul. So, it is with excitement she accepts an invitation to travel to New York and perform at a renowned opera house. In a final bid to win back her love, the Phantom lures Christine, her husband, and their young son Gustave from Manhattan; to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island… not knowing what is in store for them…
I don't get why they couldn't have taped the London production instead of the Aussie show.... Sierra is breathtaking and Ramin is stunning...
I wish I could see Ramin and Sierra as the leads. The Australian version wasn't bad but after seeing the Phantom anniversary DVD, I want to see them in Love Never Dies.
"Love speaks to everyone." Well put, Sierra.
I would love to see this whole show with ramin and sierra! and i really would love to see beneath a moonless sky the most
I'm sorry but I really think that they should've made a movie out of THIS version... and don't get me wrong I love the Australian one with Ben and Anna, but this one seems more... whole and fantastic. Anyways i love the show, it was great
Even though I love the way the Australian production was, I would've loved to see how this and the special effects were in comparison because they both look magnificent in their own way. Happy to say that after kind of doubting it that it actually has taken a toll on me in a new way. Definitely not "Phantom" but something new and different. So worth seeing. :)
So annoyed I never got to see the London version :(
i was lucky enough to see Sierra when she performed in the Las Vegas cast at the Venetian Hotel and I must say I am delighted that she has gained this much popularity!
With that being said, the Australian version was the first version I heard and watched, so I am used to Ben and Anna's voices on the music. Even though I can understand Sierra better when she sings (which is great on "Look With Your Heart") ;-) Hope to see this on stage here soon!
It's truly a wonderful show... the music is stunningly romantic and beautiful and I listen to it over and over again. Ramin and Sierra are perfect together, passionate and emotional, Joseph Millsom as Raoul is also superb as Raoul, while Liz Robertson and Summer are brilliant as Mme Giry and her daughter Meg. The cast is fantastic. I've seen LND eleven times now and I love it so much... it has a magic and enchantment that draws you back again and again.
This is an amazing show. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and still can't get over it. The music is some of ALW's best. The projections during the Coney Island Waltz really set the location for the story. Personally I can't see the problem some people have with the story. For me it answers the questions which were left in the original Phantom. If I get the opportunity I will defiantly go and see it again. Nice to see some more footage of it.
I saw this a few days ago and it was AMAZING!!! I waited at the atage door and met sierra (who's my heroine) and Ramin and they were the sweetest and kindest and most good looking people I've ever seen. It was brilliant!!! I fell madly in love with it and I want to see it again before it goes to Broadway in Spring 2011.
Just seen it, totally blown away.......fantastic.
Andrew Lolyd webber said it wasnt supposed to be exactly like the POTO because then he's just kinda making it over again!!! when i saw it i cried soo much!!! it was amazing, there is way more effects, and the humour is less dark than the POTO, you also see different sides to many characters and you would normally think that they dont fit with the first one, but when you really think about it you can really understand their characters. GO ANDREW!!!! :D
It's one of the biggest travesties that the London Cast was never recorded and we will never see it again.
I want to see this musical so badly. I can't wait for it to come to America in Spring 2011. I heard that it has gotten really good now. Forever Phantom! Forever LND! And Live on Andrew!!!!
People hate the idea of having a sequel to the classic, and basically the best play of all time. But really the music is beautiful and different. The plot is very bizarre, but it is what it is. People need to stop complaining about it and actually give it a chance before they judge it. Truly it's amazing!!!
Wonderful!! it is so great live..saw it in london last saturday...WOW...ramin is an extraordinary good singer..and really good looking as well.. =)
I absolutely fell in love with Sierra. Not only does she look like an angel, she also sings like one. I cried like a baby when she sang the final aria, even though I'm not usually very emotional. :* :* :* :*
UGH!!! It's not fair come to New York please or send me plane tickets I want to see this so bad!!! It looks fantastic and I love the score I just want to see it live and maybe....ok definately want to meet Ramin and Sierra :)
What saddens me is that as and when it returns to London (because it will), we will be using the revised Australian version :( don't get me wrong, the OZ version is brilliant in its own right, but they diluted it a fair bit (personal opinion) and is just not the same. It does, however, build a better picture of the characters than the London version - the staging is also second to none. All I'm saying is it will be a shame never to see THIS version again.
I've seen the Australian version on DVD but I wish I could've seen the full London performance. I can't seem to find the full London production anywhere on RUclips. I'm only finding small cut footage. I want to see the WHOLE thing!
Taking a trip to london the 26/6 and gonna se Phantom the 27'th and Love Never Dies the 28'th gonna be awesome!
All I can say is...chills chills chills!!!!! So very excited for this beautiful production to come to new york!
saw it last week, and cryed all the way threw. ALW's music is so beautiful.
If you likes Phantom, you have to see this as well.
I have seen this and can truly say it is some of ALW's best work. I love ALW and Phantom!!!
This show is INCREDIBLE.. saw it last night - it is actually sensational!!!! Such a spectacle.. LOVED IT!!!!
I hate that I missed it. I love the Phantom and I love Ramin. I'd love to see him reprise the Phantom for the UK Tour in 2012, but I read that 25th was his very last performance as the Phantom. I'd be so sad if that's really true :(
If I ever get the chance to see this I am so going for it. Espicially if Ramin and Sierra are still in the cast. Andrew Loyd Weber, for creating a sequal to Phantom and having Christine choose the phantom over Raoul, I give you kudos.
Going to see it this saturday!!!! Sooooooo excited!!! I do have the soundtrack a long time for love never dies, but i can't WAIT to see it come to life!!! Hope the original cast is going to be in it,
saw this with my boyfriend a few nights ago when i was visiting him in london....we managed to get last minute tickets and now whenever we listen to the soundtrack it makes us both nostalgic!! ahhh such an entertaining show, the better if you just let go of the fact that it's a sequel so you don't worry about all the logistical bits
It's not. They should have recorded the London cast.
I wish I could see this!!! Her voice is absolutely beautiful! It all looked really AMAZING!!! Stuff it if the story is a bit dodgy...the music is wonderful....I am jealous of anyone who sees it!!!!!
Even though I haven't seen it yet, I read about the ending and it made me soo sad. Then I listened to the last song and cried. If I am going to go to NYC (if it ever comes to Bway), then the ending better be changed to where Christine doesn't die and it's a happy ending! I'm so glad I listened to the soundtrack! I can see why some people don't like it. Except for the ending, it has some of the best music!
I have seen this twice already, a beautiful show. Amazing xx
saw this on saturday and i travled 6 hours to see it . i have to say i have never seen any thing like it! it was incredibal and the new gustav was amazing! :)
@LiLPOET143 I'm a huge Phantom fan, seen it 4 times, and saw Love Never Dies last week - I was no disappointed at all! It was fascinating how the characters had developed and I adored the music and production.
I saw the musical in spring and will see it again in november. It is the a masterpiece of Andrew Lloyd Webber and I think it is a perfect sequel! Both are so different though! I am listening to the CD everyday and already look forward to see it again!
Ahh I love this show. I'm watching it in March, on Ramin's, Sierra's and Summer's last night :S. I'll be sobbing.
X
i totally agree with the "theres no better feeling in the world" that summer says
I saw it a few days ago, absolutely amazing!
ohmegosh, I can't believe I'm going to see this in two months!! So extremely excited :o
I loved this show and I thought it was better then the Phantom even though I loved that show too. The costumes and well everything was fantastic!
so where's our London cast dvd?
It looks good. Music is fabulous.
I think I like the name "The Phantom Never Dies" better It seems more approprate. ^_^ He NEVER dies!
Sierra Boggess is AMAZING.
I have seen it on May 3rd, seriously love it!! Wanna watch it once more but tickets are just sold out too quickly!
I can't wait for this musical to reach California! I have the album and it's perfect so a sequel to Phantom!
Wow! New footage with some new scenes! Fantastic! *_*
can't wait to see you in TORONTO!!!!!!
I would love to see this one!
Amazing show! Great performances by all on some very demanding roles... Shame they decided to kill it. Will try to go again before closing night. Hope they come to their senses and let it live or bring it back bigger and brighter during the winter or next year.
@MaskedPhantomX yes, he is aware the phantom died in the book. But remember, his plays are only based on the book, not exact replicas. HIs play ended with the phantom disappearing, not necessarily dying.
@AndrewScheve Oh, i don't want to spoil it for others, but all the scenes were fabulous. The actors are top class, and the sets... well i've never seen anything like it. Just look at the promo vids, and photos. But in my mind, Sierra just ruled on the stage. I can just say, that after the final scene there was a very loooong ovation. And you could actually see that she was very emotional as well. Amazing experience.
@RaindropsAndRooftops Isn't that the point of the story though?
The Phantom is pining&yearning for Christine so badly that his passion & love for life &music starts to fade so without his muse, has lost his genius, gets 'writers block' & can only write cheap Vaudeville music.
Then once he knows Christine is coming back, he gets inspired again, and writes 'Love Never Dies', this incredible and earth shattering aria, that ignites both their mutual love for musicla and also each other?
Does anybody know if the London production is in DVD?
Took the words from my mouth
@LiLPOET143 im a mega phantom fan and i thought i was amazing , song-wise and visually! Ramin & Sierra are astounding!
a can't-be-missed play. in fact i booked ticket to this before i even booked my air ticket to London! is there a "LOVE" button i can click?
aghhghhg i wanna see it SOO bad. i can't wait for it to come to broadway!
So awesome! Saw it Wedsnday! Too bad Ramin wasen't there, but his understudy Tam Mutu was really good too.
Ramin reminds me of when he played Chris in Miss Saigon.
I think the music's pretty, the cast is excellent, the story is great, and I love that Christine finally ends up with the phantom... I also think it unlikely that Andrew Lloyd Webber is trying to cash in on anything because he's as rich as hell already and could buy and sell all your asses a million times. Why do you feel the need to deride it? I love Phantom of the Opera the book and the movie, I can sing all the songs by heart but I was able to look at LND with an open mind and I like it too
I wish this would come to Canada!
@LMckettrick got to tell you it's phenomenal
@tstarkis I'm with you - I'm considering taking out a ridiculous loan just so I can go to London to see Ramin in this awesome musical!
@LiLPOET143 It is a completely stand alone piece (even though it is the continued story of Phantom.) Think of it as a follow up rather than a sequel. It is absolutely stunning - visually, auditory...it's just immence. Do go and see it if you can, you won't regret it :D
This was totally amazing...just wish I'd been in the stalls, as I was for Phantom, as opposed to the Dress Circle; you definitely feel more 'connected' down there..but the visuals were certainly stunning from DC. There were murmurs at the ending...Phantom Three please (somehow!) :) x
I can't wait to see it I hope it comes out to ottawa in the next year, I also hope that they make it in to a movie and if so i hope that they get Gerald butter to be the Phantom again and Emmy Rossum to be Christine once again along with Patrick Wilson to be the flop i mean Raoul (coughflopcough).
@barnabyfox Actually, Phantom was first popularized with the 1925 silent film starring Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin. Since then, there have been multiple film adaptations and stage versions. The Lloyd Webber version is just one of the more popular versions. But he got the idea for writing Phantom because then girlfriend Sarah Brightman had recently auditioned for another stage production.
But I agree with you that the book only gets recognition in hindsight.
Gah! This makes me so excited! It looks wonderful! And is that the trio in a hot air balloon I see?? That's so epic! haha. :D
Yep I take it back, he was in it on the 30th because I saw him in it lol. He was amazing! He definitely came out of it for a while though.
@GamerGirlElla Hear Hear!! LND is my favourite musical, seen it twice and going to see it for the last time on the 27th. Gutted it's closing :-(
@LiLPOET143 i was of a similar opinion,absolutely loved the original and the alw film version.but believe me this sequel is absolutely brilliant.the more you can hear some of the songs before you go its obviously better.you have to go with an open mind and try not to relate it too much to the original phantom.if you can do that you will love it.me and the mrs are going again tonight, friday,for our second viewing. cant wait. go watch it, im sure you will love it.ramin and sierra are fantastic
O! I soooo want to see it!!! :D
@megzabeebee It took awhile for both of them to come out when I saw it in March. I understood for Ramin, but I thought Sierra would've been out quicker. Anyway, good luck on your next try. She's a really nice person. I wish I could've talked to her for a bit though.
@Jamiestest I really like Gerard and Emmy, but I prefer Ramin and Sierra. Either one in a film would be awesome (preferably Ramin & Emmy). The thing I like the best is the music- so as long as they don't change that, I'm happy :-)
I don't know how the ending to this sequel will go but maybe this can be a trilogy? i personally think this can end on a good note if maybe the phantom falls in love with a new singer who he falls in love with but the singer is blind and the conflict would be the phantom still needs to fill that void of being wanted, needed, loves from within not based on outer beauty. Remember that the phantom wasnt first excepted because of his physically flaws.
@phantompersian: I believe it was Michael Crawford. I believe I also saw Michael Caine and a few other celebs in those shots.
Please come to Australia!
COME TO BROADWAY!!
It makes me sick knowing that it is closing the 27th. I wanted to see this soooooo bad because i love ramin and i am a die hard phantom fan!!!!!!
Come to NY!!!!
Australian version still better for me, hands down. But I would love to see Sierra and Ramin together again. :)) (And Jack Lyall is way cuter. I'm sorry.)
Comes to Toronto after London
looks good, when is it in the USA??
My friend and I are planning on going JULY 12TH!!! :D It's going to be sooo hard to get there, being in CANADA and all xD
@TheGreatPumpkin79 It's been indefinitely postponed, although there are both Canadian and Austrailian versions opening in the near future.
There is no denying that the music is beautiful and that the cast is wonderful...but its just too strange to think of a sequel to Phantom...its almost like its in a class of its own and no matter how good this is, Love Never Dies won't ever touch the original.
@joanminako
I agree 100%! IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
(Gangle is my fav freak)
@0Smilelikeyoumeanit I'm with you there I am waiting for it to come to the states I just hope the original cast comes with it
People, please stop ruining the ending. I've already seen it, but it is one of those endings that shouldn't really be talked about.
I'm going to die unless I see this. Too bad I live on the other side of the planet. DX
@TheDGDX The play comes to the USA In April
Wait a minute...was that MICHEAL CRAWFORD at the end bit on the premiere night??
Thank God the London edition was at least released on CD!! I, for one, won't be buying/seeing the Australian edition! :(
@caesaro28 It may be able to have a sequel but it will definitely be different.... the ending really changes things...
@TheCamoTurtle sorry to say LND is not even in the states. its the Original Phantom of the Opera thats coming to Hollywood...and btw it got extended two weeks so its from Sept 27th to Oct 31st!!! hehehe.
I think my biggest fangirl squeal came when I saw Michael Ball for about 2 seconds taking pictures before the premier. >.
@trixiness101 He's been in it since the start, but he's had Monday and Thursday off for a while.
