Love Never Dies 'is as handsome as the original'
London theatre fans will enjoy Love Never Dies as much as Phantom of the Opera, one critic has said.
Friday, 12 March 2010
Love Never Dies has already attracted some excellent reviews from British journalists, but it can now add one from across the pond to its belt.
Ray Bennett of the Hollywood Reporter said he went to see the musical this week and found it to be every bit as good as its predecessor, Phantom of the Opera.
He commented that it is "filled with infectious melodies, startling images and wonderful performances", with excellent lyrics to go with them.
Mr Bennett also lauded the performance of Sierra Boggess as the Phantom's muse Christine, saying that he found her main song to be so good that it was almost worth the admission price on its own.
He concluded by encouraging London theatre fans to go and see it if they can in order to check out the musical's "vital atmosphere" and "sumptuous musicality".
Love Never Dies enjoyed a star-studded opening night at the Adelphi Theatre on Tuesday (March 9th 2010), with Sir Michael Caine, Arlene Phillips and Trinny Woodall all in attendance.
