Special Coverage of LOVE NEVER DIES Set for NPR's Morning Edition, 3/9

Tune in tomorrow, Tuesday March 9, when National Public Radio's Morning Edition covers the world premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's LOVE NEVER DIES. Reporter Jeff Lunden is in London to speak with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tony Award winning director Jack O'Brien, and leading lady Sierra Boggess.

LOVE NEVER DIES opens Tuesday night at London's Adelphi Theatre. The report will include excerpts of the about-to-be-released cast recording. Visit www.npr.org for photos, links and podcast, as well as air times and stations. Morning Edition airs on WNYC FM (93.9) from 5- 9 AM. In New York it is scheduled to air at 7:50 AM, though that is subject to change.

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.

The World Premiere of "LOVE NEVER DIES" will take place in London on 9 March 2010 at the Adelphi Theatre. Previews began on 22 February. The show will subsequently open in New York on November 11, 2010 and then in Australia in 2011.
