Broadway in Detroit opens season with ‘Love Never Dies’ at the Fisher
“Love Never Dies,” the long-anticipated sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera” makes its North American tour debut Oct. 17 at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit, launching the Broadway in Detroit theater season.
The show runs 8 p.m. Oct. 17 to 21 and 24 to 28; 7:30 p.m. Oct. 22 and 29; and 2 p.m. Oct. 21, 22, 28 and 29 at the Fisher Theatre. The 7:30 p.m. Oct. 22 performance will be open captioned for the hearing impaired.
The show is set 10 years after the Phantom disappears from the Paris Opera House. It is 1907, and the Phantom is in New York City, where he lives among the carnival rides and freak shows of Coney Island. He has found a place for himself and his music, but he still longs for Christine Daae, his true love and musical protegee.
Christine has become a respected soprano, and she accepts an invitation to travel from Paris to New York City to perform because she needs the money they offer, since Raoul’s drinking and gambling has left them in a precarious position.
The Phantom then lures Raoul, Christine and her young son, Gustave, from Manhattan to Coney Island, where none of them know what lies in store for them.
Tickets start at $39 and are available at the Fisher Theater box office or by calling 800-982-2787 or at broadway in Detroit.com or ticketmaster.com.
