It's a wee bit late this week, but we slipped down to the rehearsal space on Friday to find out what has been going on down there…

She is a very busy lady at the moment, what with performances on the South Bank Awards Show squeezed in between Love Never Dies rehearsals, but we managed to get Sierra Boggess to sit still for a few moments while we asked her a few questions about her introduction to The Phantom of the Opera, and why other cast members think of her as the Grandma of the company...

I am having a full head plaster cast today which I am really looking forward too!! The reason for this fitting is for the complex design for my character Squelch.

Ever mindful of your insatiable appetite for all things Love Never Dies, we popped down to the rehearsal studios on Friday with our trusty Flip camera.

Hi, I'm Richard Linnell and I'm 12. I am one of the 6 boys who are playing the part of Gustave in Love Never Dies. Welcome to my first blog.

I'm Duncan and I am an Assistant Stage Manager on Love Never Dies. I've been asked to blog and tell you about what is happening backstage to mount ‘The Lord's' latest show. As the cast blogs are telling you, we are currently in the early stages of rehearsals.

So as we all know rehearsals are well underway for the cast and creative team in the studios - but over at the Adelphi Theatre, a very different kind of preparation is taking place as Production Manager Steve Rebbeck and his team of electricians, technicians, lighting experts and many more are getting on with the complicated job of turning the Adelphi Theatre into a Coney Island fairground...

So.. it has been a long time coming but as you are already aware, Monday marked another landmark day for Love Never Dies.

Well, as Miss Fleck (aka Niamh Perry) has reported, yesterday was the Meet and Greet.

I'm back again to fill you all in on the past few days of rehearsals. Most of the cast began on Monday [4th January] morning but by next Monday [11th] the whole company from every department will come together for an eagerly anticipated 'Meet and Greet'. Rumour has it that the design team have put together a powerpoint presentation... I can't wait! We have already started to set a few dance numbers (which are looking fabulous) and you can sense the excitement in the air.
