TIHYSMonth AND US TOUR INTERVIEW HAUL

It looks like #TIHYSWeek has turned into #TIHYSMonth, but as we wait for more news to pop on the Japanese production (premiering in 2019), we wanted to compile some videos of interviews that the cast of the US Tour has been answering throughout the States. 

Bronson Norris Murphy, along with two TPAC staff members and Phantom Phanatics play some Love Never Dies and The Phantom of the Opera trivia at Two Bits in downtown Nashville. 

Kristin on Cue takes Bronson Norris Murphy to the Delta Fair & Music Festival (the "closest thing to Coney Island"). They chat on the Pherris Wheel, almost get stuck in the Hall of Mirrors, play fair games, and try Fried Oreos.

BRONSON NORRIS MURPHY TAKES OVER AS THE PHANTOM

Bronson Norris Murphy takes over as The Phantom in Love Never Dies! We are so excited to hear this, but also not surprised at all! Bronson is best known for premiering the role of The Phantom in the first North American production of Love Never Dies as Phantom/Mr.Y (before Gardar joined the team, and then as his understudy), alternating Gardar's role with Meghan Picerno and Rachel Anne Moore as Christine. Gardar Thor Cortes announced his departure from the role with this warm words to his fans.

"As many of you already know I have now finished my run as the Phantom in the North American tour of Love Never Dies. The Phantom is now in good hands with my talented colleague Bronson and the production in whole, with the superb cast and crew still touring the States. This musical is truly magical and it’s such a pleasure to be a part of it. I’ve enjoyed seeing such a lot of America during the run and look forward to coming back to the States again as soon as possible. I just wanted to say thank you to all who came to see the show and supported me and a huge thank you to all my fans. I truly appreciate you all. I am back home in Iceland with my family having a well deserved break. And one other thing for my followers - Even though social media is definitely is not my strong side, as I am sure you all know by now, I want you all to know that I appreciate and am grateful for all your regards and warm words, photos and messages. I do read them."

Bronson comes directly from the long-running production of The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway where he has been seen as Raoul (and 9 other roles to date!). Other notable performances include the 30th Anniversary Company of CATS (Gus, Growltiger and Bustopher Jones) and multiple US productions of West Side Story as Tony. Regionally and on the concert stage, he has sung 40+ roles with various theatres and orchestras across the country.

The wait is over and the song is here! Read and listen here all the Love Never Dies songs that have been included by Andrew Lloyd Webber on his special collection to celebrate his 70th birthday. Here we wrote down the new lyrics, updated:

PHANTOM
Play that again...
He... how could it be? He hears the music.

GUSTAVE
You... you hear it too.
You hear the music.

PHANTOM
Now, sing!
Sing... sing for me!

Have you ever yearned to go
past the world you think you know?
Been enthralled to the call
of the beauty underneath?

Have you let it drawn you in
past the place where dreams begin
Felt the full breathless pull
of the beauty underneath?

Can you taste it?
Have you heard its music and embraced it?
Do you crave the visions that it shows you?
Do you wonder why it chose you?
