I’m peeing myself (x)
WHY???????
Eh, this article’s kind of old, and I think we all saw/heard about it at one point. The title of the post and the article is misleading as well - it says that they’re trying for a UK Tour (to follow up the Phantom UK Tour?) and if that’s successful, then they’ll probably try for the West End.

Yup, Love Never Dies is officially the new Chess. Haltering libretto with a good score makes it the perfect object for concert versions, as seen in the upcoming Viennese concert in October. They’ll do 8 concerts in total. It’s by Ronacher, the same team who did the Phantom concert, so expect straaaange visuals paired with a good cast and orchestra.

I guess this shall become a yearly tradition then. So, for old followers, same thing as before; for new people, this is how it goes: on my birthday (which is today), I give some free audio gifts! Some of these are available on my gifts page, a few were previously gifted but taken down, and some are brand new, but all come highly recommended. And as always, if you want something taken down, inbox me and I will delete it.
Do NOT link to this outside of tumblr. It’s apparently very hard to find and keeps getting pulled, but I was just sent this and thought it would be interesting to post.
Nicole Scherzinger covering “Love Never Dies.”
Andrew Drost, probably best known in the Phantom world for being the current Piangi understudy on Broadway (And my personal favorite Piangi) singing “‘Til I Hear You Sing” from Love Never Dies.
I’ll abstain from stating my opinion (other than that I really really like it XD) and just say that you should all listen. I honestly can’t wait til he’s principle Piangi… or even more in the future.
Love Never Dies - Denmark production
‘The Beauty Underneath’
Bo Kristian Jensen (Phantom) and Carl-Emil Lohmann (Gustave)
Phandom: Does anyone have a link to Love Never Dies with Sierra and Ramin. I have been dying to see it and now I finally have the time. Thanks ~
Tomas Ambt Kofod and Louise Fribo in Copenhagen’s Love Never Dies.
Wow, THAT set is gorgeous. I’ve seen photos from rehearsals, but it didn’t nearly capture the beauty as this photo does. It also mirror’s the Phantom’s lair from the original well.
Meredith Braun - ‘Love Never Dies’
Taken from her debut solo album, with (bootleg) footage of her as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera.
Just seen this picture online of the Demark Production of Love Never Dies
Oh I love how they look older!!! Especially the Phantom, that’s wonderful!
I think maybe Christine looks a bit too old, but it could just be the picture.
hmmmmm….
Hate the mask :|
THAT MASK? Seriously, why would Erik craft a mask that would make him look older? He’s already got like 20 years (at least) on Christine.
I agree with having an older looking Christine, but this one looks about 20 years too old. And… That mask…
I don’t know how I feel about this.
Huh… I actually… kind of like this…

Sharon Millerchip’s crazed, “Christine! Always Christine!”
Quite different from the DVD. This was probably from the first preview of Love Never Diesin Australia.

Daniel Bohr will direct the Norwegian-language production that has been translated by Karen Hoffmann. The production will reflect the work of a new Danish creative team. Love Never Dies first premiered in London in 2010 and was reincarnated for a revised Australian production that opened to strong reviews in 2011.
The Danish production will reflect changes made to Love Never Dies since its London premiere. Love Never Dies has a score by Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tony nominee Glenn Slater (Sister Act, The Little Mermaid). The book is by Lloyd Webber, Ben Elton and Slater. Phantom lyricist Charles Hart is also credited with additional lyrics for the latest incarnation of the sequel.
Love Never Dies is booking through April 2013.
Actors Bo Kristian Jensen and Tomas Ambt Kofod will alternate as the Phantom, with Louise Fribo as Christine, Christian Berg as Raoul, Marianna Mortensen as Madam Giry, Camille-Cathrine Rommedahl as Meg Giry, Kristin Norholt as Fleck and Steen Springborg as Squelch.
The production will have choreography by Hayley Franks Høier, scenic design by Paul Farnsworth, lighting design by Jason Taylor and sound design by Richard Sharratt. Per Engström will conduct.
Completing the cast are Mark Agerskov, Sleiman Aoun, Joel Brekke, Kristine Marie Brendstrup, Gaute Grimeland, Jonas Holst, Linda Fabricius Hultemark, Anete Lotus Jensen, Anders Astrup Jensen, Kristian Jensen, Daniel Larsson, Anaïs Lueken, Mads Æbeløe Nielsen, Amy Nordqvist, Jesper Paasch, Jenny Asterius Persson, Ulla Sell, Maria Kiens Steenbøl, Anne Suppli, Anders Teigen, Cecilie Thiim and Randi Winther.

The children of Coney Island will be played by Anna Aunbirk, Mira Andrea Balloli, Albert Blicher Beknes, Shannon Sophie Damgaard, Oscar Dietz, Emilia Rambeck Foldgast, Rigmor Marie Glipstrup, Ruben Benjamin Schilhab Hansen, Caroline Bruun Ibsen, Regitze Ingleby, August Brandt Jelert, Natascha Jessen, Mathilde B. Kaysen, Carl-Emil Lohmann, Mathilde Clara Nyegaard, Simon Gustav Ulvsgaard, Nina Helms Valbro, Madeleine Steenberg Williams, Magnus Ørby and Magnus Ør.
The lushly scored sequel to Phantom traces the relationship of the Phantom and soprano Christine from Paris to Coney Island, where old romances continue to smolder as other loves and friendships shatter.
Love Never Dies first opened in London in March 2010 under the direction of Tony winner Jack O’Brien with choreography by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell. Critics weren’t enchanted with the production, which underwent rewrites a few months into its London run. It closed Aug. 27, 2011, at the Adelphi Theatre. A Broadway production, announced for the Neil Simon Theatre, was indefinitely postponed.
While the London production was still running, Lloyd Webber gave his blessing for a new Australian creative team, led by director Simon Phillips, to take a fresh look at Love Never Dies, which took a darker, more menacing approach to the production. It debuted at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne in spring 2011. Love Never Dies later arrived in Sydney Jan. 12, 2012 and ended its run last April.
The Australian production was screened in cinemas globally and is currently available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Denmark marks the third production of Love Never Dies to be produced.
