Description
The devil took the hindmost with this confusing sorta-sequel to everyone's favorite "opera." Join Alex and Daisha as they strap into this carnival ride of a musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Love Never Dies." The Broadway Babies are up to their usual shenanigans with the additional tasks of detangling this confusing plot, comparing the sequel to "Phantom of the Opera," and giving their final verdict on the 2012 Australian production. Is this musical a dud, or does it need one more new production team in the mix? Cast recording: Amazon | Spotify | Apple Music Video recording: BroadwayHD | Amazon Songs: "Til I Hear You Sing," performed by Ben Lewis "Beneath a Moonless Sky," by Ben Lewis and Anna O'Byrne "Dear Old Friend," by Anna O'Byrne, Simon Gleeson, Sharon Millerchip and Maria Mercedes "Love Never Dies," by Anna O'Byrne Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Glenn Slater and Charles Hart Produced by The Really Useful Group Ltd., under exclusive license to Polydor Limited to release. Show Notes: A story of the show for NPR from before it debuted in London. Could "Love Never Dies" come to Broadway? Because the tour did well? Let's guess! ALW and The Wizard of Oz ... as he talks to the New York Times about why he thinks the show didn't go well and what he planned next in 2012 (aka a puff piece). The show's 'World Tour' website seems pretty dry...but you can get on the waitlist! "Like the Phantom himself, this new show lives in anguish, yearning to reveal itself and be loved." Oh boy... ALW loves having popular singers do singles of his big songs. Barbra, this ain't. Who is your fave Christine? Sierra and ALW performing the title song!
