The London production closed briefly and was re-written, but closed after “just” a year on the West End. The show’s opening night garnered more attention for its celebrity audience than for the show itself.Įven so-called “Phans,” fans of Phantom of the Opera, attempted to sabotage Love Never Dies by protesting the sequel, posting negative reviews, and calling for a boycott. Directed by Jack O’Brien, the production received mixed though mostly negative reviews. Love Never Dies premiered in London on March 9, 2010, at the Adelphi Theatre starring Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. Initially announced to open in London, New York, and Sydney in quick succession, Love Never Dies was scaled back due to Lloyd Webber’s ill health. In October 2009, composer and producer Andrew Lloyd Webber announced his next project would be a sequel to his smash-hit global phenomenon The Phantom of the Opera.
