Jonathan Roxmouth releases 'Phantasm', featuring Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies
"Ever since I first donned the mask as The Phantom in the South African revival production of The Phantom of the Opera, I have wanted to record more of the score for posterity. Having been part of the latest successful World Tour again, the idea has resurfaced but with a little extra. In the meantime, there has been a sequel to Phantom: Love Never Dies. Between these two shows, the Phantom saga has been extended with more songs and lush music. Phantom and Love Never Dies are connected in terms of the love affair between the Phantom and Christine. The songs tell their story. The songs are pieces of the puzzle. These songs belong next to each other."
'Phantasm' will feature original South African Christines, Robin Botha and Magdalene Minnaar; original international Christine, Claire Lyon and alternate Christines from Phantom of the Opera's World Tour, Clara Verdier and Caitlin Finnie. The tracklist includes both tracks from Phantom of the Opera and its sequel, Love Never Dies. Arrangements for the 40 piece orchestra are by James Bassingthwaite and Adam Howard.
The album includes these following tracks: The Overture / The Phantom Of The Opera / The Music Of The Night / All I Ask Of You / Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again / The Point of No Return / The Coney Island Waltz / ‘Til I Hear You Sing / Look With Your Heart / Beneath A Moonless Sky / Once Upon Another Time / Love Never Dies / Learn To Be Lonely.

RAMIN KARIMLOO PODCAST 'THE HANG' FEATURING SIERRA BOGGESS, PHANTOM AND LOVE NEVER DIES
This podcast gives you a front row seat to inside conversations between Ramin Karimloo and his guests. In the world of theatrical performers, Ramin Karimloo is known as one of the most formidable talents in the industry. Heralded for his portrayal of leading roles Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera, Karimloo is a musical force unlike any other. In fact, it was his unbridled reputation that led to his performance in the recent Oscar tribute to Les Misérables.
Ramin has posted PART 1 & PART 2 of his collaboration with Sierra Boggess, you can listen to both Podcasts here! Part 2, in Sierra's words: "This time we really dive into POTO [and Love Never Dies]". They both reaffirm how they would love to reprise their past roles again, as they feel ready to do so, and we couldn't be happier about that! Show your support and how badly you want them to perform Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies again.
We are going to highlight two bits of the podcast (although you really should listen to them in full if you love Phantom, Love Never Dies, Ramin and Sierra!). The first one is a fun fact. At the end of the original West End cast recording, you can hear Sierra Boggess delivering a Meg line, after the gunshot: "No, I didn't mean to!" Sierra remarks: "They said they'd fix it, but then it never got fixed!" Have you ever noticed? Now, we'll never be able to listen to that sentence the same way!
And the question we've all been asking: Would Sierra and Ramin perform their characters, again, in a Love Never Dies production? This is what they have to say:

WE ARE TURNING TEN YEARS OLD!
So this post is a thank you letter. Thank you for walking this ride with us. For the love that you show to the musical every day, to the cast and crew & the Phan community. When we started Love Never Dies News, we were just two sisters who had fallen in love with The Phantom of the Opera and fell in love again with Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies. We first heard of Love Never Dies when it was about to premiere in the West End. By the time the musical came out, we had listened, sung our hearts out and not so rhythmically hummed to each song of the show. We wanted to share our love for the show, and gather together everything this musical had to offer. By the time we started this project, we had no idea that the blog would grow and become a community, joining fans together from around the globe.
'Love Never Dies News' was born, grew and we got the chance to meet Phans from around the globe, near and far, to meet, interview and chat with cast and crew members. And for that, we’re forever grateful. Thank you for being part of this journey and supporting the show and its human team, and thank you for supporting us, it means the world.

PHANS AROUND THE WORLD SHARE THEIR LOVE FOR LOVE NEVER DIES
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!). Our Twitter was on fire during the evening, and we received and read some lovely comments about Love Never Dies that we think should be shared and read, so here we go! Spreading some Love Never Dies love to the world!
"My love for LND started when I got the london cast recording as an early birthday gift. I was still in school so I couldn't afford to go to London to see the show live. Finally once the US tour was announced my mother surprised me with tickets to the first show in Utica NY. I will love the show forever! Plus I got to talk to some of the cast through Instagram and they all were so kind answering my questions. If I could thank everyone for the gift of continuing the Phantom’s story I would." by Desirae Jenks
"I thought the show was a magical delight. The music was beautiful and the cast was superb. This show deserves it due on Broadway. I will never stop loving this show. Team Mr Y!" by Wicked74303
