'Love Never Dies' was unveiled at Her Majesty's Theatre in London, where 'Phantom' opened 23 years ago this week, launching a theatrical phenomenon which has been seen by some 100 million people worldwide.
The new production, which will open next year, picks up the story a decade on as the Phantom has moved from his lair in the Paris Opera House to haunt New York's Coney Island.
Iranian-born Ramin Karimloo will star as the Phantom, having already played the role in the "Phantom of the Opera" on the London stage.
