As Whatsonstage.com reports, West End musicals Stomp, Blood Brothers and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies have all announced extended booking periods.

Stomp, a musical created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, transforms the sounds of urban life into music, began its West End run at the Vaudeville Theatre in 2002, where it ran until 2007 and was then transferred to the Ambassadors Theatre. STOMP is a group of people, with very strong personalities, who work together using simple building blocks to create something complex , something everyone can identify with: everyone has, at some time, to engage in group activity, whether they like or know the people they are working with or not. It's the little idiosyncrasies, the differences between people, and the games of one-upmanship that ensue, which define the group dynamic. The production has added six months to its schedule and will now take bookings through to April 10, 2010. For tickets and more information, visit http://www.stomp.co.uk/.

Blood Brothers, by Willy Russell, is currently playing at the Pheonix Theatre. Blood Brothers, the international smash hit musical, tells the captivating and moving tale of twins who, separated at birth, grow up on opposite sides of the tracks, only to meet again with tragic consequences. The incredible score includes Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It's Not True. The production first opened at the Albery Theatre (now the Noel Coward Theatre) in 1988, where it ran for three years before moving to the Pheonix. Blood Brothers has opened a new year long booking period and will be taking bookings through November 26, 2011. For tickets and more information, visit http://www.bloodbrothers.themusical.co.uk/.

Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber's follow-up to The Phantom of the Opera, has opened its booking period for three more months, and will be taking bookings to January 8, 2011. Love Never Dies opened 9 March in London at the Adelphi Theatre and stars Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo, featuring direction by Jack O'Brien and choreography by Jerry Mithcell. The show is scheduled to open in New York in 2011 and in Australia thereafter. Love Never Dies continues the story of 'The Phantom,' who has moved from his lair in the Paris Opera House to haunt the fairgrounds of Coney Island, far across the Atlantic. Set 10 years after the mysterious disappearance of 'The Phantom' from Paris, this show is a rollercoaster ride of obsession and intrigue...in which music and memory can play cruel tricks...and 'The Phantom' sets out to prove that, indeed, Love Never Dies.
