Musical Theatre News: Love Never Dies Australian premiere in Melbourne in May 2011

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies will have its Australian premiere in Melbourne’s Regent Theatre in May 2011.

Lloyd Webber said the Australian production will have its own unique stamp, produced by his Asia Pacific representative Tim McFarlane and directed by Melbourne’s Simon Phillips with  a new design by Sydney based Gabriela Tylesova.

Nationwide auditions will begin on Monday October 25th - the same day tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster.

Ramin Karimloo who is playing the Phantom in Love Never Dies at London's Adelphi Theatre  recently announced that he will be leaving the show next year (no date yet fixed) to join the show when it opens in Toronto which is meant to be the pre-Broadway stop over.  Maybe he'll now be heading for Melbourne?

Part speculation, but I doubt if Ramin Karimloo is doing the Autralian opening so soon before being committed to the Toronto production of Love Never Dies

These really are high quality pictures close up of the Love Never Dies cast on the stage at the Adelphi, I think and with a creative commons license too.
