I loved every minute of it! Such beautiful singing. Love was very deeply portrayed. I didn’t think 5 star ⭐️ was enough!!!!
Love Never Dies was absolutely beautiful! It’s been a week when I saw it, but I am still humming the songs all day long!
Sequel’s could be frowned upon, after seeing Love Never Dies, I wished it could of gone on and on!! Amazingly done, every detail, enjoyed!! The stage to the music to the actors and actresses they were The Best and gave their All!! Beautiful!! Bravo!!
Even though I'm not a huge fan of the plot of Love Never Dies, everything else is simply fantastic. The singing was phenomenal, the sets were so awesome, and I just loved how developed all the characters were.
This sequel to the Phantom met all expectations!!!
Unforgettable experience and an awesome performance. The Phantom lived up it's his name...
Fantastic singing plus an unbelievable story line. Even the youngest actor had a fantastic voice. Well worth the money spent. Excellent acoustics in the theatre. Coney Island theme and characters even made the musical more spectacular. WOW.
Music was forgettable and the story line was sad and cliched, especially in this time of national sadness over gun violence.
The music was nothing compared to Phantom of the Opera. I was ready to leave by the time intermission came. The story was predictable as well.
Go for the costumes, sets and voices. Lots of great production values here. The music is pretty forgettable, even if it performed with exuberance. The script is pretty hokey, but that's Andrew Lloyd Weber. If you keep your expectations low, you'll be entertained.
The show was very dark and heavy from the beginning to the end. The singers were just beautiful with such wonderful operatic voices but there was not one song that stood out as being rememberable. I would not buy the soundtrack if one is made.
A nice sequel to "Phantom of the Opera". Continued the storyline with the same characters - and I had no idea as to where the story was headed.
I'm not a huge fan of musicals but I really enjoyed the evening.
I wanted to see this show so bad that after missing it when it came through Pittsburgh my wife and I went to Chicago to see it. The costumes, stage and performances were great, but the story line was disappointing. As a huge fan of the original Phantom I felt it was a let down.
This is the sequel to Phantom of the Opera. It takes place ten years after the events of that show. If you are going to see the show for the sake of the music, choreography, and stage production you will have a great time! The music is all really good and the actors who play Christine and the Phantom have phenomenal voices. Really all the actors did an amazing job. I loved the stage set up and the costumes as well. If you are going to see the show for the sake of the story, and to see what happened after Phantom of the Opera, I think you will be pretty disappointed. The story is confusing and disjointed. They have really ignored who the characters were in the first one when they wrote this one. Nobody felt the same to me. Every time something happened in the plot I was totally flabbergasted and pretty disappointed. Overall, if you do want to see this show the Chicago cast is the best way to see it. I believe they do the absolute best they can do given the very strange plot. Even though I don't think the show does the characters justice, I think Webber's music makes it still worth seeing (especially with this cast).
Love never dies embodies the wonder that is Broadway. The costuming, the sets, the music, the singing were all outstanding and blew me away. Unfortunately, where this show falls flat is in the story, which, unfortunately, is a major part of the experience. The show seems like Phantom fanfiction, both requiring a fairly extensive knowledge of the original, and disregarding/rewriting previous characterizations. Fans of the original will be upset with how the main cast is behaving while loving the music which is very reminiscent of the original. The one drawback of the music is that there are way more powerful songs and fewer of the quite, more introspective songs. While this is reflective of the original, it did get a little overwhelming at times where each and every song was sung at 100%. Overall, I really enjoyed the performance and would have loved it as a stand alone piece, but it's connection to such a defining piece of Broadway is its Achilles heel.
Knowing the full history of this show, it has come a long, long way from what it was when it first opened in 2010. In its current incarnation, Love Never Dies has become a strong and beautiful show on its own. The story has become pretty solid, though knowledge of the original Phantom of the Opera show is good to have. Love Never Dies often musically references the original show in amazing little ways. Overall, if you are a fan of Phantom, check this show out at least once. It's worth it just for the gorgeous sets and costumes.
The story of Love Never dies follows Christine Daaé as she is once again pitted as a trophy to win between Raul and the Phantom. The story focuses on the objectification of Christine, the manipulative and selfish love of both men, and the wager of which one will have Christine's love. The music is phenomenal, the colors fantastic, the story will enthral you, and when it finally ends you will be glad that there was a sequel.
The costume and set designs were pretty amazing. The voices of the actors/actresses were stunning and powerful. I very much enjoyed the show. I heed one warning to Phantom of the Opera fans though, this storyline works better as a stand-alone theme. Some of the plot points do not coincide with the original Phantom and can leave you feeling confused if you try to connect the dots from the first one. It’s very much enjoyable and the songs are beautiful, but think of the play as a stand alone with some of the same characters, and not a sequel. Sort of like when Spider-Man is redone every couple of years and they use the same characters but pretend like the other version never happened. Very similar.
Love the event just wish we could of taken a pic of the stage So creative amazing it was great!
