Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Love Never Dies’ is launching its international tour in China this autumn.  The year is 1907. It is 10 years after he disappears from the Paris opera house, the phantom has escaped to a new life in New York where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak shows of coney island. In this new electrically-charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is his love – Christine Daaé.

Christine is struggling in an ailing marriage with Raoul. She accepts an invitation to travel to new york and perform at a renowned opera house. In a final bid to win back her love, the phantom lures Christine, her husband, and their young son Gustave from Manhattan; to the glittering and glorious world of coney island, not knowing what is in store for them…
