Love Never Dies

[svollga]

Внезапно! выяснилось, что 26 января была премьера Love Never Dies, сиквела к The Phantom of the Opera. В феврале идут предпоказы, а официальное открытие назначено на 9 марта.
Музыкальный продюсер снова Саймон Ли - видимо, Уэббер помирился с ним после скандала на канадской "Марии". А одна из новых ролей написана для Нив Перри, участницы I'd Do Anything.

Сюжет

The plot takes place on Coney Island in 1907. According to the official announcement, the events occur approximately a decade after the events of The Phantom of the Opera. In reality, however, Lloyd Webber's original show was set in 1881, meaning that the time period between the two stories amounts to 26 years. The Phantom has travelled to Coney Island with Madame Giry and her daughter Meg. Beginning his new life in America as a freakshow attraction, he has worked his way up to a position of power and is now the successful architect of a number of Coney Island attractions. Despite his newfound wealth and success he still longs for Christine and manages to arrange for her to come and sing at one of his latest attractions. Christine arrives at Coney Island along with Raoul and their son Gustave, unknowingly returning to the man she feared most.
