Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic The Phantom of the Opera sequel, Love Never Dies, is set for a major concert revival at the London Palladium this October.
Produced by Darren Bell and Cuffe & Taylor, the concert will run for two performances only on 16 and 17 October 2026. The event forms part of the West End’s celebrations this October for the 40th anniversary of the original The Phantom of the Opera musical.

In a casting coup for the concert, Jamie Muscato (One Day The Musical, The Great Gatsby) will star as the Phantom, with Celinde Schoenmaker (Guys & Dolls) returning to the role of Christine Daaé following the Theatre Royal Drury Lane concert in 2023.
The production will be directed by Shaun Kerrison, who also helmed the sold-out 2023 Drury Lane staging.
Love Never Dies In Concert coming to the London Palladium this October
Love Never Dies has music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater, and a book by Lloyd Webber, Ben Elton, Frederick Forsyth, and Glenn Slater. The show is loosely based on Frederick Forsyth’s novel ‘The Phantom of Manhattan’.
The story of Love Never Dies continues a decade after the Phantom’s disappearance from the Paris Opera House, as he resurfaces on Coney Island and once again crosses paths with Christine, now a world-renowned soprano and mother.
The Telegraph has previously described the show as “one of the greatest of all Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals,” with musical numbers including ’Til I Hear You Sing, The Beauty Underneath, and the title track Love Never Dies.
