Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Love Never Dies' streamed yesterday worldwide as part of The Shows Must Go On initiative. If you haven't seen it yet or you missed it yesterday, worry not! The show will be available through the weekend (48h long from the moment it premiered). For those of you who got the chance to watch 'Love Never Dies' and enjoyed the breathtaking Australian filmed staged production, we thought you may enjoy these lovely featurettes and behind the scenes!




Also! We live-tweeted during the full streaming and joined some Phans by sharing our favourite scenes, lyrics and behind the scenes (and trivia, we love trivia!). Join us on Twitter and follow along!


As we are walking the memory lane, let's throwback to Anna O'Byrne and Ben Lewis' announcement as Christine and The Phantom. In this featurette, you'll find both leading actors getting ready for the event and snippets from their interviews and performances of the title song and 'Til I Hear You Sing.



Ben Lewis, Anna O'Byrne and Simon Gleeson share a glimpse of their rehearsal process to celebrate the first week of 'Love Never Dies' rehearsals in Australia before we got to experience those first breathtaking shows at the Regent Theatre.



Gardar Thor Cortes, former Phantom on the German production of Love Never Dies and the following North American Tour, leads this character study where we get to see him getting ready as he transforms himself into The Phantom.
