The concert will be directed by Shaun Kerrison with set and costume design by Rebecca Brower, choreography by Joanna Goodwin, lighting design by Tim Deiling, sound design by Paul Gatehouse, music supervision by Simon Lee, casting by Sarah Jane Price, production management by Pete Kramer and general management by Sam Quested for QUBE Theatricals.
Love Never Dies – Phantom of the Opera’s 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.
Love Never Dies in Concert plays London Palladium on October 16, 17 and 18, 2026. Tickets here.
