LOVE NEVER DIES Canadian Tour in the Works?

LOVE NEVER DIES, Andrew Lloyd Webber's spectacular follow-up musical to THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA will arrive on DVD in the US on May 29, 2012, and according to the Sydney Morning Herald, the show might have a future in Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul. Andrew Lloyd Webber told SMH that he 'would like the show to tour Canada,' though he 'would not rush straight into Broadway.' 

Lloyd Webber told SMH: 'I find film fascinating because you can get so much more from it, you are into the actors' thoughts in film. I want to go back to the West End, in due course. The fact is, we made a miscalculation closing when we did in London … In the last few weeks of the West End run, people really started to get into it but by then it was too late to extend the season because the theatre had another booking.'
