Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess to Star in Love Never Dies

Ramin Karimloo will play The Phantom of the Opera and Sierra Boggess will play Christine in Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sequel to the blockbuster musical The Phantom of the Opera, which will have its world premiere at London’s Adelphi Theatre on February 20, with an official opening March 9, with a Broadway production set for November 11, 2010 at a theater to be announced. In addition, an Australian production will launch in 2011.

Jack O’Brien will direct the show, which has music by Lloyd Webber, a book by Ben Elton, lyrics by Glenn Salter, choreography by Jerry Mitchell, and sets by Bob Crowley.

The sequel is set in Coney Island, many years after the end of the original musical, and reunites the Phantom with opera singer Christine Daae, now married to true love Raoul.
