Love Never Dies: changes to show
Broadway World are reporting on changes which have been made to the show over recent weeks. Read the full article on the website.
The show had already been revised between previews and official opening, as many shows are but now, several months on, it is still being tweaked in order to fit with the creators' vision.
The most major recent change is to the staging of the Prologue, when Mr Y, aka the Phantom, is visible on stage with a stick and an orb of fire: "blink and you'll miss it," said a source close to the show, "but it's very reminiscent of the graveyard scene in the original Phantom."
The Coney Island Waltz is still intact, but now it moves straight on to Meg Giry welcoming the visitors to Phantasma, omitting Heaven By The Sea and the trio of showgirls talking before their performance. "The welcome is much bigger now, with new orchestrations," said the source. "It's a massive new dance number and more of an entrance for Meg."
Act Two is currently still as it was after press night, but more changes are expected to be made, including a further expansion of Bathing Beauty, the big number for Meg.
