THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER...

Last night, Vic and I visited another theatrical event, The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, at the Marina Bay Sands Grand Theatre. Live musicians and Australia's most acclaimed performers took to the stage with some of Webber's most timeless songs. From the director “The emotional force of Andrew Lloyd Webber‟s songs is undisputed. We want to celebrate the extraordinary variety of Andrew Lloyd Webber‟s output and the emotional force of his songs by presenting an intimate affair with all the emotion, all the tunes whilst taking you on a musical journey – one that is stylish, inventive and surprising and also offers some rare insights into the mind of this genius creator.”

I have always loved musical theatre and last night was overcome by so many memories that I connect with the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. My first ever musical...Joseph and The Technicolour Dreamcoat. Miss Tina's School of Dance...performing to music from Cats. School orchestra...performing Love Changes Everything from Aspects of Love and many more.

After more than 40 years, Andrew Lloyd Webber's music continues to have the extraordinary ability to touch an audience, lifting them to new heights of exhilaration and emotion after just a few bars of music. Through state-of–the-art technology, the audience was swept from the avenues of Broadway to the magnificence of Eva Peron's Argentina, to the speedways of Starlight Express, in a dazzling journey through the many settings of Andrew Lloyd Webber's greatest works. All the 'big' moments from Evita, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Sunset Boulevard, Woman in White to the current Love Never Dies were captured. Another memorable evening!
