LOVE NEVER DIES in Concert to return to London Palladium
Producers Darren Bell and Cuffe & Taylor for Live Nation have announced the return of the WhatsOnStage Award-winning concert production of Love Never Dies, directed by Shaun Kerrison, which will play at the London Palladium on 16 & 17 October.
As announced at his sold-out concert, Jamie Muscato (The Great Gatsby, West End) will play Phantom, with Celinde Schoenmaker (Guys & Dolls, Bridge Theatre) making her return as Christine.
The concert forms part of the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera.
Love Never Dies - The Phantom of the Opera’s spectacular sequel - returns to the story 10 years after the Phantom’s disappearance from the Paris Opera House. Escaped to a new life in New York, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is Christine Daaé - the young soprano whose sensational talent enchanted the Phantom and saw him fall deeply and dangerously in love.
In a final bid to win her back, the Phantom lures Christine, her husband, and their young son Gustave to America to perform one final time. As old wounds are reopened and forgotten memories unlocked, the Phantom sets out to prove that, indeed, Love Never Dies.
This concert production comes as Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera celebrates its 40th year in London’s West End, marking four extraordinary decades at His Majesty’s Theatre. The Phantom of the Opera is widely considered one of the world’s most beautiful and spectacular musicals. Since 1986, the global phenomenon has played to over 160 million people in 217 cities, 58 territories and 23 languages.
