A Trainwreck set to Music: Love Never Dies Delayed; Creative Team Withdraws

The New York Times reports that Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies, which officially opened in London March 9 at the Adelphi Theatre, will likely not arrive on Broadway in spring 2011 as previously announced.

Mixed reviews and the recent illness of composer Lloyd Webber had prompted an earlier postponement. Originally, the sequel to the international hit The Phantom of the Opera had been scheduled for a November 2010 Broadway bow. In April it was announced that the musical would open at the Neil Simon Theatre in spring 2011.

The New York Times says director Jack O'Brien and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, who staged the London production and were scheduled to repeat their duties for Broadway, have withdrawn from the project. No official announcement about their withdrawal has been made. The Phantom in Coney Island just sounded like a bad idea to begin with. The London reviews seem lulzworthy though.
