Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musical Love Never Dies
- See: Love Never Dies (musical)
Love Never Dies is a sequel to the Lloyd Webber musical The Phantom of the Opera. The plot is not based on the story-line in the original book by Gaston Leroux, and Lloyd Webber has stated "I don't regard this as a sequel – it's a stand-alone piece". The musical is set in 1907, which Lloyd Webber states is "ten years roughly after the end of the original Phantom," although the events of the original actually took place in 1881. Christine Daaé is invited to perform in Manhattan, but is taken off to a new attraction, Phantasma, by an anonymous impresario (The Phantom) and, with her husband Raoul and son Gustave in tow, journeys to Coney Island, unaware of who has brought her there. Christine is again faced with a decision between her husband and the Phantom and the show ends with her death.
