Powerful and uplifting, Love Beyond is a unique presentation of the greatest love story ever told, unfolding the entire story of the Bible as never before. A contemporary production, this epic musical re-tells the inspiring stories of lives touched by God, from Genesis to Revelation and puts the focus on their significance to mankind today. Love Beyond promises a sensational production with a host of West End stars, accompanied by one of the biggest live orchestras of any musical theatre show in London, playing a dramatic and original brand new score.

Love Beyond opens tonight, in a very special event for two nights only at the SSE arena. The London cast of 29 are busy in rehearsals and will be headed by musical theatre legend, Dave Willetts in the role of ‘Father God’.

He has also starred in a host of West End hit musicals including Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunset Boulevard, 42 Street and Aspects of Love.

The Son of God ‘Jesus’ is being played by Simon Shorten, a recent West End ‘Jean Valjean’ in Les Misérables who has also starred as ‘Phantom’ in Phantom of the Opera. Alongside Dave Willetts and Simon Shorten are a talented cast of actors, singers and dancers including Dougie Carter and Joe Evans (Les Misérables), J Marie Cooper (Mentored by Will.i.am in The Voice 2013), Holly-Anna Lloyd (Berlin – The Musical), Kevin Jones (Les Misérables In Concert) and Joseph Claus (Phantom Of The Opera).
