Variety Magazine
“...The story itself, and thus the show, remains weak...Love Never Dies has the tired feel of an attempt merely to continue the story.”
Love Never Dies Version 2.0 - Officially re-opened December 21st, 2010. Critics were asked by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber to give the show a second change. Some critics refused while others were tortured a second time.

“...Exhale too deeply and it’ll fall over...this one’s got no real oomph to get it going. It also has little at stake to sustain it until well into the second half...”
Evening Standard
“...it is still repetitious, lacks real suspense and suffers from the fact that several key characters feel one-dimensional...with all the revisions that have been made Love Never Dies, though elegant, doesn’t feel sufficiently dynamic.”
A Younger Theatre
“With an obvious plot, little dramatic tension, and an ending that lacks any real emotion, Love Never Dies sadly does die for me and so has a part of my appreciation of what a new musical should bring to the West End.”
Time Out London
“The new mask does little to hide the ugliness beneath; the problems are integral... The lyrics...are terrible and the story (a hotchpotch from Webber, Ben Elton, Slater and Frederick Forsyth) simply silly.”
