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…

Ramin is the perfect phantom. I could listen to him non-stop. The emotion he puts in is incredible.
That waltz he wrote is simply beautiful. It's a well-known fact that ALW is a musical genius so it comes as no surprise, but it's beautiful. Ramin and Sierra together can do no wrong in my eyes. Every song I heard in LND was good to me, The Beauty Underneath, Devil Take The Hindmost, Coney Island Waltz, Once Upon Another Time/Beneath A Moonless Sky, and how can you forget the title track, Love Never Dies. ♥
it doesn't help me to see that Ramin was tearing up. He's such an awesome actor/singer. Gotta love him.
After hearing "Till i hear you sing!" i cried! Beautiful music! Can't wait to see it!!!
You can tell how much Ramin and Sierra respect each other. Makes it all more real.
I saw him sing this in person LIVE and I literally bawled my eyes out!!!
Maybe it's just me, but I think that if the film version of Love Never Dies starred Ramin and Sierra, I might've actually liked it but I'm not sure.
It's a wonderful sequel set 10 years later.
TIHYS is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
I was torn with the idea at first. It was only Ramin that made me watch LND.Now I like it. I enjoy it. I AM putting this muscial in my singing reportire. Afterall, how many pieces nowadays are written for sopranos in the musical theatre scene? Some may argue this sequel undermines the characterisation in POTO. but if you think it as ALW's personal fanfic to POTO, there is not much for the haters to work themselves up. POTO was adapted from a book anyway, characters were already changed!
its weird watching this after so long and then seeing myself in the audience bring soo many memories back from watching it live.Proud to of supported the show and the cast!
the music is absolutely beautiful. I could listen to it all day along.
Thanks for sharing. :)
That audience was so subdued; after that performance, I would have been on my feet and yelling bravo [ok maybe not bravo], but I'm just surprised at the audiences reaction. Thank you for posting this.
That was a SPECTACULAR performance that Ramin gave!!! I just know that, if I train my voice, and work hard enough, I'll have a good chance to play Christine in 'The Phantom Of the Opera'. I know for a solid fact, that gaining starring roles don't just happen over night.
magnificent! the way Mr. Webber introduced the production was wonderful. and selecting Ramin Karimloo and Sierra boggess for the roles was an awesome choice since i am a fan of both of them. :) i only wish i would have scene it with the original west end cast.
i hope someday i'll b christine daae... it would be an honor and a dream come true to be a part of this amazing production!
Damn! I am teary eyed after the song! I can smell a hit! Love it! Thanks for sharing
I must say that I can understand why people are upset about the story to Love Never Dies. PoTO was perfect and is so important to so many people. However, if you break it down, the story to LND is good, maybe not great as of yet. It could use some polishing. The music, however is amazing, definitely on par with the original production. The orchestra and melodies and evocative and heartwrenching. That alone is reason enough to see the show, and perhaps make you fall in love with it!
I remember watching this at work when it first premiered and I was crying like an idiot! Haha! Absolutely beautiful, can't wait to see it!
The waltz is so haunting... Gives me chills every time.
to all you people who say phantom can't have a sequel. Well why not? the score for love never dies is more lavish and orchestrally rich then the original and love never dies should not be compared to the original this show was conceived and realised in a different time by a new production team apart from andrew. Phantom of the opera when it premiered was not thought to be a hit just give this show time to develop and grow because i tell you this show is AMAZING.
Mme, Giri and Meg saved the phantom from the angry mob after he burned down the opera house. They ran away to Coney Island, and the phantom basically opened a concert hall and has shows there staring Meg (who is pretty much in love with him), but he is never truly happy because his heart still aches for Christine.
Really digging the Overture
People need to stop judging it and comparing it just because it's a sequel! Stop acting like immature judgemental jerks who won't give anything a chance! This play takes place TEN YEARS LATER! ARE YOU THE SAME AS YOU WERE TEN YEARS AGO???? So stop being dumb and give it a chance! If you still hate it, then that's your opinion, but don't ruin it for others who want to know more about it! So many people love it! Just because some of the critics didn't love it too doesn't mean you can't!!!!
I hope Love Never Dies goes to the philipines
"God's gift to musical"
I wish there were more clips/vids for this. I never had the blessing of being able to see this in London, and would really love to have been able to see Ramin & Sierra perform it:-/
Seen it peeps and all you whingers and whiners are FOOLS!!!!!!!!! Its AMAZING!!!! stop being so pessimistic and sod off if you're not interested fine but keep your ridiculous comments to yourselves I loved every second of LND and will go and see it again. Ramin is just astounding you can't help but be in awe when he sings. get off your high horses and open your eyes!
wow!! goosebumps all over!!
why dont you all stop moaning and whining about the sequel. alw has decided to do it so just be thankful for some more fantastic work from him. he's never let us down in the past. ffs show some loyalty and hopefully the show will be as good as this song till i hear you sing is. if the rest of the show is as good everyone will be saying what a great show. so if all you pessimists could just shut yr big moaning mouths up for a few months till we know how good or bad the show is that'd be nice.
Later on, Christine, Raul and their son come to New York because Christine was invited to sing at the opening of an opera house, but the phantom finds out that she is in town and goes to see her and wants her to sing at his concert hall. I don't want to give too much away but pretty much the rivalry between Phantom and Raul rages on!
Well, he had found out he had cancer earlier that day. I don't think we can blame him for having the shakes.

Look at poor old Andrew. He's shivering and trembling through the whole thing :-)
Oh my can i hug Andrew, he looks so nerves it brakes my heart.
And o my gosh Ramin is amazing!
Can't wait to see LND!!!!!
if anyone knows where i can watch please tell me this music with Sierra and Ramin
Wow. The audience response then must've left ALW, Ramin and Sierra with goosebumps. From their coldness. I mean it's sad, becos i'm sure everyone involved in its creation and fruition really invested their hearts and souls into it. And to clap so coldly after Ramin's breathtaking song - makes me wonder what they were expecting in their minds.
Sierra is a lucky woman...xD

I know right!! I feel the same way!! =)
some day i want to meet a man who can sing like ramin
Oh Ramin.... why must you be twice my age and married. :( haha
@cthretard2 You're correct, but this is different than the original and taken from Forsyth's book. The story is excellent and just as heartbreaking as LeRoux's novel. I'm wondering how ALW's version will blend the two versions.
I'm skeptical of a sequel, I dont know how anything can follow the original. However hearing the music for the first time makes me more hopeful, the overture is great, and "hear you sing" is o.k., so I'm hoping it this show will be better than I first thought.
that's pretty messed up. . . thumbs down for good comments and thumbs up for bad comments. I myself cannot wait to see this and am actually considering taking a mini vacation to London to see its premiere
I know right!!! like he HAS to!!!!!!!!!!
The musical is NOT to be compared to the movie. The movie was made riding the coattails of the musical. And it wasn't nearly as successful for a reason. If you watched the musical first, you'd know what I mean.
And Gerard and Emmy are not professional singers. So they would never be on broadway anyway.
@stitchgrl777
It's true Gerard was not a professional singer, but you've got admit he carried his weight as best he could, and certainly would have blown my mind had I known before the movie that he never had a voice lesson in his life!
I hope he plays Phantom again if they make a movie for this sequel.
How can you possibly enjoy the movie if you expect it to perform like the play? Lower your standards a bit, they had a lot to live up to. Wouldn't matter if it were Gerard or Michael Crawford.
is this like the second phantom of the opera or something
I think it's kinda cute to see ALW speak in public because it's very clearly not his forte... :)
@stitchgrl777 I don't believe being a "professional singer" has anything to do with being on Broadway. There are plays too.
Did Sierra and Ramin sing live at this? I see they have mics on..?
About somebody going to die they cant, that is if the movie means anything... on christines grave it said she lived to be 56... cant be her... and at the end you see a rose with the ring she gave phantom... it wouldnt be there if phantom was dead... an as ALW produced the film...
I don't get it...so what is the "sequel" supposed to be about? I thought Christine married raoul and that was the end? Please someone fill me in!
The Phantom of the Opera is just one of those things that you make one and leave it at that. He's not supposed to get the girl, he's supposed to be deformed and when he leaves the opera you use your imagenation and just think what happends to him.
@stitchgrl777 Emmy has been singing at the Metropolitan opera since she was 7
@TheMaestroBrad it was just the music video for TIHYS. they dont have to make it like he was deformed.
I have no doubt that the music will be incredible, especially if it's anything like what I've heard. But just by reading the plot alone, it sounds beyond ridiculous to me. However, I will still give it a chance to win me over. I still think it sounds a little silly though.
@stitchgrl777 Emmy is professional and could go on broadway, Butler however couldn't.
He's married and with two sons... :'(
@TheMaestroBrad This is only a press launch. Only like a PR performance. They're not going to do a full out performance. This is meant to be more of a concert. The emphasis is the music. However, I agree that this show is not a good idea.
I wanted to skip Rimin singing because i just heard it,but iwas memerise by his sing( it is true,then wouldnt this comment be oncouple of minutes ago), i will be dieing if i was choisen to be Christine,but i would be frighten to death because of stage fright if i sing alone,try as hard as you can if you see me and speaking to no one,i would be singing,or come to me quietly without making noise and you will hear me sing,if you do i would problemly sing above the staff at the end for fun
Lloyd Webber's recycled melodies often in the past, but I agree with you, it's starting to get ridiculous. At least when he recycled before they were melodies he hadn't already used in shows and ones which just hadn't found a home. Now he's cannibalising his past work. The title song for Love Never Dies looks like it's Our Kind of Love from the Beautiful Game. This sequel just gets worse and worse...
wow..interesting thought,really! I love this song "Till I hear you sing", but don't you think the lyrics are too easy? or something. Some people say its like a Disney song.
I love ALW, his genius and wonderful artistry in music... But he just never shuts up does he? :P
@ohmss069
I hope a sequel is made for the musical with Gerard, Patrick and Emmy doing the leads. But most of all I hope they follow the time line of her death as it appears on her gravestone in the first movie. Also from what I have heard, that her son is Ericks?? Give me a break please. He says in the movie, that his face has denied him the joys of the flesh.........Why do they have to do that? Why can't it be innocent and let the child be Raouls.........
Everyone's gone mad! (Seriously.) I'll admitt when I first heard about the sequel, I wanted to kill Andrew Lloyd Webber, and not give it another thought. But, hearing this Overture, you could hear the essence of The Phantom of the Opera's Overture, but with a circus sound to it (like in the Gypsy Circus scene in the movie). Plus, the song this new Phantom just sang seems to be what the old one would sing about Christine. To TheMaestroBrad, I'm sure this was a test-run which is why he looks wierd
@hearmyfury hate to say it. the film was better than the production
he should have just left it alone!!!!!! its just not meant to have a sequel!!! the score is amazing and that guy has a great voice but STILL phantom is just not spose to have a sequel. im deff not gonna see it, cant risk it ruining my fave musical of all time.
Terrible and confusing; If this is supposed to be the Phantom's new life 10 years after his affairs in Paris, why the hell is he dressed like he's in 2010? And I suppose he's magically gotten some impeccable plastic surgery?...
The score--well that's a matter all it's own. It's mindless circus music that belongs at Ringling Bros. and not the Broadway Stage. I'm a huge fan of The Phantom of the Opera, but Mr. Webber...you're kidding yourself with this one. I most definitely will not be seeing it
