American Heartland Theatre presents an encore of the off-Broadway hit, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. Heralded as 'The most entertaining show on or off Broadway!' by Gannett Newspapers, when the off-Broadway run of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change closed in the summer of 2008, it had played 5,003 performances and 20 previews, an astonishingly long run by any measure, but downright historic for an off-Broadway musical (and second only to the run of The Fantasticks). Its 12-year run is a true testament to the enduring charm, wit, and wonder of this musical. Returning to the American Heartland Theatre March 12th through April 25th, 2010, 12 years after its Kansas City premiere, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is back and better than ever.

The New York Times reports that the anticipated Broadway productions of LOVE NEVER DIES or CATCH ME IF YOU CAN may possibly find themselves with a new director/choreographer team shortly. Director/choreographer duo Jack O'Brien and Jerry Mitchell are attached to both projects, but now that LOVE NEVER DIES has announced a delayed Broadway opening to the Spring of 2011 - the same time CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is slated to premiere - it is questionable as to whether the pair can realistically take on both anymore.
The New York Times has confirmed that LOVE NEVER DIES will now aim for a spring opening on Broadway due to Andrew Lloyd Webber's health problems. LOVE NEVER DIES was scheduled to open on Broadway on November 11, 2010. Reportedly, Webber is experiencing 'post-operative problems' from his recent treatment for prostate cancer, a rep for the production told the New York Times today. As BroadwayWorld previously reported, speculation of a delay began weeks ago following the tally of mixed reviews for the production, which opened at the Adelphi Theatre in the West End on March 9.
Universal Music Philippines has made it possible for local fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber to savor a thrilling sampling of music from 'Love Never Dies', sequel to Webber's magnum opus 'The Phantom of the Opera', a mere one week after the highly anticipated musical had its world premiere (March 9, 2010) at the Adelphi Theatre in London. 'Love Never Dies' two-compact disc recording, featuring Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom and Sierra Boggess as Christine Daaé, is now available in local music stores.
As BroadwayWorld previously reported, the cast album for LOVE NEVER DIES premiered on the UK National charts at Number 10, the production announced today. Of those international markets where the album has been released it has also charted well, such as in Greece (Number 1), Taiwan (Number 14), New Zealand (Number 8) and Denmark (Number 15). Today, Billboard reports that the LOVE NEVER DIES album is the Number 1 selling cast album of the week, beating out staples Wicked and Jersey Boys in the top spot.

The New York Times is reporting that while Andrew Lloyd Webber and the producers of LOVE NEVER DIES are 100% committed to opening the new production at Broadway's Neil Simon Theatre in November as planned, the production may be undergoing some significant changes prior to an opening. LOVE NEVER DIES premiered in London to mixed reviews, with overall commendations on the score and less than complimentary feedback on the book and lyrics.
This week we are taking a look at the just-released cast album of the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical sequel, LOVE NEVER DIES, which has proven to be among many phans and theatre fans, in a word, divisive. Be sure to check out last week's Phantom Round-Up for a rundown of the original PHANTOM OF THE OPERA as it stands on disc if only because it is beneficial to have at least a tertiary knowledge of that show‘s score in order to fully appreciate the music here... And what rich, rapturous music it is!
