I saw the first preview of the original production, so knowing that was 18 years ago makes me feel old! Interesting that “It Will Never End” is back in the show, as that was cut very early in previews in the West End, and part of it can now be heard in Love Never Dies. Funny that he took one song out of TBG to go into LND, and put a bit of LND back into TBG! I also wish I had a recording of “The Boys in the Photograph” as it bugs me that there’s an ALW tune I don’t have (I’ve got pretty much every tune he’s every released!). Does anyone know if it’s on the 2006 Hungarian cast recording?
I heard "It Will Never End" for the first time at the Union Theatre production. It was a number that really stuck with me. Along with the new songs "Born In Belfast" and "The Boys in The Photograph" which I also enjoyed.
No “Born in Belfast” in this production, and I can’t hear “It Will Never End” without thinking of Coney Island! Do really want a recording of “The Boys In The Photograph” though.

I enjoyed this much more than the original production. I didn't get a programme so I don't know names - but I thought the girl playing Mary had a wonderful voice. Also thought the boy playing Thomas was a great actor. However all were excellent. Very glad I saw it.

This was amazing, I only booked last minute as I saw the comments here. Glad I did.
Cast for reference, I agree I’m sure we will see these names again in the coming years.
