—'Love Never Dies,' the sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'The Phantom of the Opera,' will be performed at the Wharton Center's Great Cobb Hall from Oct. 9 to 14. It will be shown as a part of the MSU Federal Credit Union's Broadway at Wharton Center Series.
"The new touring production will reflect an extensive re-working of the material by an Australian creative team for the original Australian premiere in 2011," according to a press release from the Wharton Center.
The show is directed by Simon Phillips and features new set and choreography design by Gabriela Tylesova. This is one of a small handful of times a West End musical has been reworked for other productions.
The plot of the sequel is set 10 years after 'The Phantom of the Opera.'
"The Phantom has escaped to a new life in New York where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak shows of Coney Island," according to the press release. "In this new, electrically-charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar, but he has never stopped yearning for his one true love and musical protégée, Christine Daaé.
In a final bid to win back Christine’s love, The Phantom lures her, Raoul, and their young son, Gustave, from Manhattan to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island - not knowing what is in store for them."
Tickets to the show can be purchased online from the Wharton Center. Group and student rates are available.
