London Eye Trips added to Theatre Breaks

end on

Originally uploaded by AndyRob

A fast track London Eye or champagne London Eye Flight can be added to London Theatre Breaks at the time of booking if you use one of the theatre breaks agencies who do London attractions as extras, and it’s a great idea because the you know the whole weekend in London is going to be full of exciting things to do with a big night out at Les Miserables, Love Never Dies or The Wizard of Oz as the highlight.

This picture of the London Eye exactly edge on to view was taken from the newish pedestrian bridge at the side of the railway bridge that goes from Charing Cross Station to the Southbank where the Nation Theatre Festival Hall and London Aquarium can be found .

Love Never Dies – Questions

I have a few questions about the new musical Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom of The Opera, I wonder if any of you can help me?

1) If Love Never Dies is set 10 years after the original, and the Phantom Of The Opera took place in 1881, then why does it seem to be about 1907? These dates and numbers don’t add up for me.

2) There was a sequel to the original book by the author who wrote Phantom of The Opera, and that sequel was called “Love Never Dies” but then there was the Frederick Forsyth novel called “The Phantom of Manhattan” Which one is the new musical based on?

3) Andrew Lloyd Webber says in one video that it was Ben Elton who went away and came up with a plot that recycled the orginal characters, but then at the press release he seems to suggest there was a “we” who came up with that idea. Is this new story Ben Elton’s creation or Glenn Slater and ALW’s ?

4) What happened to the simultaneous opening in Singapore? Seems to have been replaced by a vague intention to open Love Never Dies in Australia in 2010 sometime. Australia is not Singapore.

Thanks for any leads or clues.
