Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies, the continuing story of The Phantom of the Opera, has already sold 30,000 tickets, seven months before its opening at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre in May 2011.

Producer Tim McFarlane said today that the ticket sales, which included promised group bookers sales, were “remarkable”.

“We are thrilled at the remarkable box office response,” he said.

“With the show only just recently announced, 30,000 tickets sold so far out from the show’s opening is a very strong response. Very exciting. It shows that the public’s love affair with The Phantom of the Opera is as potent as ever.”

Tim McFarlane was speaking in Sydney before flying to Los Angeles to meet the composer of Love Never Dies – Andrew Lloyd Webber.

He said the casting process had now begun. More than 900 performers had registered for the open auditions which began in Melbourne yesterday and will continue this week. Open auditions will be held in Sydney next week.
