Despite the Opening Night of Love Never Diesbeing over four months away, planning is already well underway for what should be one of the biggest nights in the West End next year.
Microsoft Excel whimpers under the weight of the exclusive First Night list. Filling a 1400 seat auditorium with invited guests, allocating seats and distributing tickets and keeping the right people happy is a logistical nightmare – one which we won’t wake up from for many weeks to come! From the First Night list to the First Night party – everything needs to be perfect. It is one of our jobs to organise the logistical and technical aspects of the evening, ensuring that the chilled champagne is flowing, the food is arriving out of the kitchens hot and everyone is having a great evening.
Meanwhile, final preparations are being made for the start of rehearsals in January, rehearsal rooms are being kitted out, actors are being measured for costumes, sets are being constructed, lighting and sound equipment lists are being finalised and the marketing team are preparing for the next wave of advertising and promotional events. The production office is busy interviewing and appointing staff for the various backstage departments – stage management, wardrobe, wigs, sound, automation, stage crew, lighting and follow spots.
Everything is on course for our first preview on February 20th…

Must be really exhausting to handle all this! Try to not overthink it too much, or you might end up making a mistake.

I just want to know when tickets will be available for New York. I am planning to make a special trip for it from New Orleans.

Any plans releasing a “Till I hear you sing” and “The Waltz” as a single for x-mas time? Think it would be great to mix in a LND-Orchestral Suite like it was done with Sunset Blvd. or Aspects of Love……….
