Love
Never Dies
This epic tale of boundless love, passion and angst is the sequel
to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera,” one

awards). “Love Never Dies” picks up the story 10 years

misunderstood antihero has escaped to an electrically charged new
life on Coney Island, where he has finally found a place to soar,
despite still yearning for his one true love. March 13–18, times
vary. Tickets $48–$128. Center for the Performing Arts, 255 S.
