Pamela Raith’s production photographs from Love Never Dies in Concert are out, eleven days after Jamie Muscato and Celinde Schoenmaker led the last of its five performances at the London Palladium.
The pictures complete a short sequence for Love Never Dies in Concert at the London Palladium, which began with the rehearsal-room images published on 13 October and ended with the run itself: a single evening performance on Friday 16 October 2026, followed by a 2.30pm matinee and a 7.30pm show on both Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October.
Pamela Raith photographed the principals on the Palladium stage with the orchestra behind them. Jamie Muscato played the Phantom opposite Celinde Schoenmaker as Christine Daaé, with George Blagden as Raoul, Courtney Stapleton as Meg and Mazz Murray as Giry. Holly James, Nic Greenshields and Charles Brunton took the roles of Fleck, Squelch and Gangle, while Elliot Norrington appeared as Gustave, with George Jones as standby in the role.
Around them, the ensemble was made up of Leslie Garcia Bowman, Georgia Joan Clements, Sally Frith, Ciara Jackson, DeAngelo Jones, Christian Knight, Louis Mackrodt and Lily Wang.
Shaun Kerrison directed the staging, which reached the Palladium already billed as a WhatsOnStage Award winner. His creative team was Joanna Goodwin (choreography), Rebecca Brower (set and costumes), Tim Deiling (lighting), Paul Gatehouse (sound) and Simon Lee (music supervision). The producers were Darren Bell and Cuffe & Taylor for Live Nation, presenting the piece by arrangement with LW Entertainment.
The musical is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sequel to his own most famous show, set ten years after the Phantom disappeared from the Paris Opera House. Now living in New York, where his music at last has somewhere to be heard, he tempts Christine, Raoul and their son Gustave across the Atlantic for one final performance, hoping to win her back. Lloyd Webber composed the score, and the book is credited to him and Ben Elton with Glenn Slater and Frederick Forsyth; Slater wrote the lyrics, with additional lyrics by Charles Hart, and the orchestrations are by David Cullen and Lloyd Webber.
The concert coincided with the 40th year of Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Phantom of the Opera at His Majesty’s Theatre. With the Palladium dates over, there is nothing left to book for the sequel, but the original is still running in the West End.
