Did anyone see that the leads for the Australian Production of Love Never Dies were announced. The Phantom is being played by Ben Lewis and Christine is being played by Australian tour Christine Anna O’Byrne.

Does anyone have any more information, supposedly at the announcement they sang as well.

Ben Lewis' brother Alex played Raoul and understudied the Phantom in the most recent Australian tour of 'The Phantom of the Opera' Talented family.

It's not the look I wanna see, it's what they do with the new book and ending, that I am interested in.

I've got my tickets. And expensive they were too. No wonder Andrew is so rich.

ehh...

Boggess and Karimloo are much better. Namely Boggess - I don't like O'Byrne at all.

Hopefully this won't be a "Sunset Boulevard" scenario - I want the original pair to open this on Broadway, when it inevitably arrives.

Agree with @inlovewithjerryherman I want to see Sierra and Ramin if/when this comes to NY.

Also excited to see the look and the new book/ending!

So if/when they decide on a book/ending/look they want to be the official 'Love Never Dies' will they change London's production??
