Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies, the sequel to his award-winning production Phantom of the Opera, is officially in the works, as it’s been announced that Webber revealed Love Never Dies will premiere in London next March, going on Broadway soon thereafter. Webber, recently on Jonathan Ross’ UK talk show, made a statement regarding the material for Love Never Dies, saying that the production will be emotional, complicated and altogether intense. Webber described the production as “the most personal project he has ever written,” and Love Never Dies is expected to be one of the biggest productions of 2010.
If it follows the pattern of Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies is sure to be one sensational Broadway production, as Phantom currently sits as the highest-grossing show in Broadway history, having garnered more than $700 million since its debut in 1988. It is also the longest-running show in Broadway history, and its sequel Love Never Dies looks to be entirely as successful. As of now, rumor has it that Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess will star in the London production of Love Never Dies, but more details for this monumental Broadway production are sure to unfold as the months progress.
