Love Never Dies will be filmed and released on DVD at some date yet to be announced, Andrew Lloyd Webber told the New York Times. The US newspaper didn’t specify whether Lloyd Webber plans to film the Melbourne or London production of Love Never Dies, but it does seem that a New York arrival may not be imminent.

Love Never Dies Theatre Breaks
http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/love-never-dies-theatre-breaks.html
Recommending Love Never Dies Theatre Breaks Love Never Dies is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s not exactly sequel to Phantom of the Opera. I saw it in previews, liked it very much but was not quite ready to recommend it for theatre breaks fans. I wanted to see if the show settled down and to let ‘his Lordship’ make the inevitable changes a preview period brings. Now the show has settled and people are happily booking their Love Never Dies theatre breaks and having a great time. ** Book Love Never Dies Theatre Breaks ** The Story of Love Never Dies Set on Coney Island, New York some 10 years after the events of Phantom, Love Never Dies is a more grown-up story of love. It has lost some of the teenage fascination with the Gothic that is such a huge part of the power of Phantom and in its place there is a much more human set of characters. There are plenty of places online where you can find a synopsis of the story but my advice is to go to the show without any preconceptions and enjoy it for what it is, a powerful piece of theatre, full of spectacle and gorgeous music. Love Never Dies Music I just adored the music. Some people thought there were not enough memorable tunes but my house rang to much whistling and humming for days after we saw the show. I think the music is more interesting and I actually enjoyed it more than Phantom (gasp!). Speaking of the gorgeous music just listen to the divine voice of Sierra Boggess: Click here to view the embedded video. Oh and how about the utterly wonderful Ramin Karimloo: Click here to view the embedded video. And that’s without mentioning the great performance of Summer Strallen as Meg Girey! Love Never Dies theatre stage set I thought the set was mostly wonderful. There’s good use of back projection and special effects but it’s the Art Nouveau aspects that just blew me away. Some of the sets looked like exquisite pieces of Art Nouveau jewelry or spectacular Tiffany lampshades. At times I was reminded of the film set of Moulin Rouge, but then I loved that too! It made a wonderful backdrop for the passionate story. A big question: One show or two? I know people were worried that they haven’t seen Phantom and would find it hard to follow the story. In our party we had someone who had never seen Phantom and she said that within the first ten minutes she had worked out enough to make sense of what was happening. She didn’t feel that not knowing the back story spoiled her enjoyment at all. Having read all the fuss about certain bloggers and forums I think there have been more problems with the devoted ‘Phans’. They’ve had to let go of their preconceptions about what the Phantom could be like and his relationship to Christine. People were too quick to judge a show that was still being ‘tweaked’ and seem to have forgotten that Phantom had its share of problems when it opened. I’ve seen both shows and I think the ideal solution is a double show theatre break. No one is offering one yet but there are rumblings from one or two of the agencies. Never fear as soon as they are available I’ll let you know! ** Book Love Never Dies Theatre Breaks ** a

On The Waterfront
http://usefulwiki.com/londontheatre/on-the-waterfront.html
On The Waterfront On The Waterfront comes to The Haymarket Booking for a medium length season from Wednesday, 28th January 2009 until Saturday, 25th April 2009 with matinees on Thursdays at 2.30pm, and Saturdays at 3pm Evening performances on Monday to Saturday start at 7:45pm At the Haymarket Theatre Royal. Director Steven Berkoff explains why On the Waterfront is still a contender in The Times Online The waterfront theme is close to Greek tragedy, close, since in our version the hero doesn’t die, but the elements are there - the loner, the individual battling against an evil regime. The chorus, the masses who look on helplessly, yet only impotently comment. The New York docks were run by gangsters, as a personal fiefdom, ruled by intimidation and bribery. We all identified with Brando’s Terry Malloy and in some way we wished to emulate him. The values that he handed on to us were the simple ones our fathers trained us to espouse. To be loyal to your friends, to your colleagues, and to fight to the death for what you believed in. How could we not be seduced by this modern-day hero? On the Waterfront now has a new life. Terry Malloy lives again. I am proud of the work. On The Waterfront acclaimed by critics On The Waterfront was acclaimed by critics and audiences on its original run at the Nottingham PLayhouse and achieved standing ovations when it transferred to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last summer. There, both lead actor Simon Merrells and the Ensemble Cast were nominated in The Stage Awards for Acting Excellence, given by the entertainment industry’s leading professional journal, which also named On The Waterfront one of this year’s “MUST SEE” Edinburgh shows. There was a further nomination for the production in the Theatrical Management Association Awards, where Steven Berkoff received a nod for Best Director. Adapted by Budd Schulberg from his own screenplay for the celebrated Marlon Brando movie, ON THE WATERFRONT is the story of a young New York dock worker, Terry Malloy (Merrells) who takes a daring stand against the Mob which controls the dockers’ unions. Berkoff, whose company East Productions co-produced the show with Nottingham Playhouse, brings to it the full power of his renowned muscular style.
