The first song released to the public was "The Coney Island Waltz", on the musical's official website as part of a On 26 January 2010 the title song "Love Never Dies" was first publicly performed at Both recordings feature the same 19 tracks on Disc 1 and 13 tracks on Disc 2 with each disc matching an act.The reworked production received mixed reviews during its engagements in Complaints about the show's plot and characterizations, which have plagued it since the original London premiere, continue to be voiced frequently, with both I really do not believe that you have to have seen Madame Giry has read in the newspaper that Christine is coming to New York to sing for Oscar Hammerstein at the opening of his new Manhattan opera house. Gustave then removes the Phantom's mask and gently touches the Phantom's face in an act of acceptance. After recovering from her surprise, she learns to trust the "voice" and does odd jobs for the owner. The Phantom questions Gustave while showing him the dark wonders, illusions and freaks of Phantasma and finds they are kindred spirits. Christine reveals to Gustave that the Phantom is his real father and she tells the Phantom that her love for him will never die. Erik never falls in love with Madame Giry, or her daughter Meg (Who falls in love with him in the sequel musical, Love Never Dies). Giry recounts how she and Meg helped smuggle him out of Paris and to a ship departing from Calais, on which they escaped to America. On a desolate pier, the Phantom, Christine, and Madame Giry find the distraught Meg seemingly about to drown Gustave in the ocean ("Please Miss Giry, I Want to Go Back!..."). Meg would never hurt him. Christine finds a letter from Raoul stating that he has left for good and she begins to panic when she realizes that Gustave is missing. The Phantom rushes to Christine and orders Madame Giry to go for help while Meg looks on in stunned horror at what she has done. It would play to empty boxes, half-empty upper circle, to a gradually filling stalls and dress circle, but to an attentive, grateful and appreciative pit and gallery. [Madame Giry:] God, I left her so distraught. ... [They] served to give young actors and actresses a chance to win their spurs ... the stalls and the boxes lost much by missing the curtain-raiser, but to them dinner was more important.Like most burlesques, "Robert the Devil" featured women in scanty costumes and Very little specific information is available for most of these curtain openers. Remarks from the onlookers suggest that Christine has not performed for some time and Raoul has lost much of their fortune to drinking and a fondness for gambling. She tells Raoul that he must leave with Christine and Gustave and runs out of the bar. At Phantasma, The Phantom's performers Dr. Gangle, Miss Fleck and Mr. Squelch introduce the wonders of Coney Island ("The Coney Island Waltz"). Christine introduces the Phantom as an old friend named Mr. Y, and he promises to show the boy around Phantasma the next day. That night, Meg performs a comedic burlesque routine about her choice of swimming costume ("Bathing Beauty"). Raoul encounters Madame Giry and discovers that the Phantom is the mysterious Mr. Y for whom Christine will be singing now ("Dear Old Friend"). Unbeknownst to them, Madame Giry has overheard their conversation and is enraged, fearing that everything she and Meg have done for the Phantom over the years has been for nothing, as Gustave will be the sole beneficiary of his wealth and property. She is about to drown the boy but decides to let him live and releases him. At the pier, Meg prepares to drown Gustave, who cannot swim, when the others arrive to confront her. Christine, Raoul and their ten-year-old son Gustave arrive in New York and are met by crowds of Raoul is angry at the reception ("What a Dreadful Town!") In the rehearsal studio for Phantasma, Meg and Christine happily greet each other. The Phantom promises to show Gustave all the wonders of Phantasma. She is brought to him by Squelch and Gangle. Raoul arrives and Christine asks Gustave to wait for his father backstage. The Phantom offers to pay Christine twice Hammerstein's price if she will sing just one song that he has written for her, but Christine refuses. Following direct intervention by the Opera Ghost, Madame Giry is eventually reinstated into her role as concierge. Gustave goes to the weeping Phantom, who sings a line from the song his mother just sang to console the boy, and Gustave embraces his real father for the first time ("Love Never Dies" (Reprise)). Gustave wakes up screaming from a nightmare and interrupts them ("Mother Please, I'm Scared!") ("Once Upon Another Time"(Reprise)). She performs the song, singing with so much passion as the two men who love her watch. He carries her to a chair, where she awakens and the two recall a night of passion before Christine's wedding, and the Phantom explains why he felt compelled to leave her side afterwards (“Beneath a Moonless Sky”). The chandelier falls that night, killing the candidate. As the long musical intro comes to its end Christine contemplates her choice and decides to sing. Backstage, Raoul, the Phantom, and Madame Giry each wait anxiously to see whether Christine will flee or sing, while Meg entertains Gustave ("Devil Take The Hindmost (Quartet)"). The Phantom questions Gustave about his talents and passions, finding that they are kindred spirits. Raoul says he is not afraid of the Phantom. The Phantom also offers Raoul a bet: if Christine fails to perform tonight, the Phantom will pay off all their debts and allow them to leave together, but if she sings the aria he has written for her, Raoul must go back to France alone.
