Glenn Close, Antonio Banderas, Dame Kiri Te
Kanawa, Donny Osmond, Sarah Brightman, Elaine Paige, and Michael Ball
are among the stars gathered at London's Royal Albert Hall to pay
tribute to the hit-making composer of such international musical blockbusters
as "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,"
"Evita," "Cats," "The Phantom of the Opera," and "Sunset Boulevard."
The many highlights include Banderas reprising his big-screen performance
of "Oh What a Circus" from "Evita," Close's thrilling rendition of
"As If We Never Said Good-bye" from "Sunset Boulevard," and Te Kanawa's
debut of a new song from Lloyd Webber's much anticipated sequel to
"Phantom."
Writer Michael Coveney describes the setting and background of the
gala concert and takes us on a musical tour of the program's songs.
Plus, a one-on-one visit with the honoree himself, Sir Andrew Lloyd
Webber.
