when did andrew lloyd webber write love never dies
Love Never Dies (musical) Although Lloyd Webber began working on Love Never Dies in 1990, it was not until 2007 that he began writing the music. The show opened at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End on 9 March 2010, with previews from 22 February 2010. It was originally directed by Jack O'Brien and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, but the show closed for four days in November 2010 for substantial re-writes, which were overseen by Lloyd Webber, and it re-opened with new direction from Bill Kenwright. Set and costume designs were by Bob Crowley.[7] The original London production received mostly negative reviews,[8][9] but a subsequent Australian production featuring an entirely new design team and heavy revisions was generally better received, although the show finally closed with heavy discounting to tickets.[10] A planned Broadway production, which was to have opened simultaneously with the West End run, was cancelled,[11] the amount of negative press having deterred potential backers.[12]
