LOVE NEVER DIES
01 May–04 May 2024
WBOS are extremely proud to present the UK Amateur Premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s LOVE NEVER DIES.
This spectacular new musical reunites the masked Phantom with his only true love and musical protégée, the stunning beauty Christine Daaé. LOVE NEVER DIES is a roller-coaster ride of intrigue, obsession and romance – where little is as it seems.
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 joyrides and freak-shows of Coney Island. In this new and electrically-charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is his love – Christine Daaé.
In a final bid to win back her love, the Phantom lures Christine, her husband and their young son, Gustave to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island, not knowing what awaits them. As old wounds are reopened and forgotten memories unlocked, the Phantom sets out to prove that indeed, LOVE NEVER DIES.
An amateur production by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Ltd.
