The year is 1907. It is 10 years after the Phantom's disappearance from the Paris Opera House. He 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 Daa‚. Now one of the world's finest sopranos, Christine is struggling in an ailing marriage to Raoul. So, it is with excitement 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.

Outside of England, to my knowledge, Australia where I live, is the only other country to Have Love Never Dies currently showing, that finished in Melbourne Just before Christmas and is about to open In Sydney. I have seen the show twice now, The Phantom of the Opera I saw 5 times and it is my favourite Musical. In Love Never Dies the story continues with the Phantom Fleeing to Coney Island. 10 years has past and this is where the story takes up.
I do not want to give too much away, but Christine is lured to Coney Island with her drunken husband and 10 year old son, to sing for a large sum of money which she really needs after her husband Raul has become an alcoholic, and lost all their money and wealth over the years, so this is Christine's chance to get back to the life she once enjoyed all those years ago.
There is Drama, love and sadness as there was in the original Phantom of the opera and throughout Love Never Dies there are afew subtle references back to the original show through the music score, When Christine sings her signature song the scene too my breath away. If you loved Phantom of the Opera, you will love, Love never dies, Keep and open mind as the story unfolds as you follow this musical and I'm sure you will not be disappointed.
I too had read negative reviews when the show opened in London, perhaps us Aussies do not pay much attention to other's views and would rather see it for ourselves before passing Judgement, I have no regrets spending my money to see this show, it was fantastic. Enjoy the dvd, feel the beautiful music score and enjoy the show.

This is a must have for any DVD collection. I was actually at the performance when the filming was done. The sets are amazing, something new to see every time you look. Ben Lewis and Anna O'Bryne give memorable performances are The Phantom and Christine, and are well supported by Simon Gleeson, Sharon Millerchip and Maria Mercedes. The score is one the best Andrew Llyod webber has written and the vocal talents of the cast blend beautifully with it. My personal favorites are 'Til I hear you sing' and Beneath a moonless Sky

I don't think that ALW intended for LND to be directly compared to Phantom. Phantom and LND are both different, but both VERY amazing/awesome/phantastic. even if the story is different from what some people think should happen, it's still a masterpiece and deserves to be recognized for its own music and story and actors, not for its prequel. the music is amazing. the cast is amazing in both productions. it's worth buying. keep an open mind and you'll be amazed.

Amazing
I found this on PBS the first time I saw it. This production is amazing and the casting was brilliant. I think that some parts are even better than "Phantom". Love it!

Great musical
Love this musical. The two lead did a great job and the play is good. They changed the characters of Meg and Raoul a bit too much, but a wonderful production overall.

A sequel that satisfies
Obviously we know the Phantom survived at the end of Phantom... this fills in all the other details whether it was needed or not.
