Love Never Dies continues the story of The Phantom of the Opera’s titular character, who has moved from his lair in the Paris Opera House to haunt the fairgrounds of Coney Island, far across the Atlantic. Set 10 years after the mysterious disappearance of the Phantom from Paris, the show is described as a rollercoaster ride of obsession and intrigue in which music and memory can play cruel tricks, and the title character sets out to prove that “love never dies.”
