But it just occurred to me: could they be bringing her on board to teach Summer Strallen how to become burlesque!Meg?

Following your visit to see The Phantom of the Opera, be the first to see The Phantom's reappearance in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies. Preview performances begin 20th February 2009 (yes, the publicity postcard says 20th February 2009, I assume they mean 2010 ).

The story continues...

Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical Composing Legend

On Thursday, October 8th, 2009, Andrew Lloyd Webber unveiled his brand new production "LOVE NEVER DIES" at a global launch in London. "LOVE NEVER DIES" continues the story of 'The Phantom of the Opera', 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, "LOVE NEVER DIES" seeks to capture the hearts of minds of audiences the world over, will it be successful at that daunting feat? "The Phantom of the Opera" won a staggering 50 awards worldwide, with global album sales currently at over 40 million copies, the musical is the most successful 'entertainment' ever. Will audiences warm to a sequel to a story that doesn't "need" one, as the original "Phantom" ends in a nearly perfect fashion. This new chapter also doesn't have the creative alchemy of Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, a casting gift that fueled "The Phantom of the Opera" during its early days of performance. All this lends itself for a truly "must watch" scenario as the "Phantom" and "Christine" continue their "strange duet."

2009 Highlight: Lloyd Webber reveals "LOVE NEVER DIES" to the world with a much discussed global press launch.

2010 Lineup: Andrew Lloyd Webber's long awaited new show will have its World Premiere in London at the Adelphi Theatre on Tuesday March, 9th, 2010 followed by New York on Thursday, November 11th, 2010. The "LOVE NEVER DIES" album was completed in September 2009 will be released on Wednesday, 10 March 2010, the day after the World Premiere in London. Also rumored is a Broadway revival of his award winning musical EVITA.

Sorry to dredge up an old post way back from when I hadn't signed up for this board yet, but ... Is that really a photo of an official costume from the show? Have there been any others?

And ehhh, yeah, I'm not digging the whole EVIL!MEG thing. At all.

~Madame~

As this mask was actually created purely for the purposes of being photographed and won’t appear in the show it’s now been sent to our deep dark theatre archive where it will rest
