Andrew Lloyd Webber to compose anthem for King Charles’ coronation
King Charles has revealed the music he would like at his coronation in Westminster Abbey on 6 May 2023 - and it includes the West End's Andrew Lloyd Webber. The composer of The Phantom of the Opera is set to write the main choir anthem for the coronation, scoring the piece for the Westminster Abbey choir and organ, plus the ceremonial brass and orchestra. Lloyd Webber is no stranger to composing choral music, with his 1985 piece Pie Jesu from his Requiem proving a big hit. Lloyd Webber said that he was "incredibly honoured" to have composed the anthem, and that it would include words “slightly adapted from Psalm 98”, which begins “O sing unto the Lord a new song, for he hath done marvellous things”. He also said that he hopes "my anthem reflects this joyful occasion."  King Charles III royal emblem, designed by Jony Ive Phantom is playing at Lloyd Webber's Her Majesty's Theatre, and following the death of The Queen in September last year, Lloyd Webber said that Her Majesty's Theatre would be renamed to His Majesty's Theatre. Timing on the name change is still unclear, but the coronation might be good timing. Six new pieces of music for orchestra will be composed for the coronation, plus five new choral works and a new piece for the organ. Composers of the new music include Lloyd Webber, Patrick Doyle, Iain Farrington, Sarah Class, Nigel Hess, Paul Mealor, Tarik O’Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley J. Thompson, Judith Weir, Roderick Williams and Debbie Wiseman. Sir Antonio Pappano, Music Director for the Royal Opera House, will be conducting the Coronation Orchestra, with Andrew Nethsingha, Organist and Master of the Choristers, Westminster Abbey, overseeing all musical arrangements and directing the music during the Service. Soloists at the coronation will include bass-baritone, Sir Bryn Terfel; soprano, Pretty Yende and baritone, Roderick Williams. The organ will be played by Sub-Organist, Westminster Abbey, Peter Holder, and Assistant Organist, Westminster Abbey, Matthew Jorysz. The Service will be sung by The Choir of Westminster Abbey and The Choir of His Majesty's Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, together with girl choristers from the Chapel Choir of Methodist College, Belfast and from Truro Cathedral Choir. The Ascension Choir, a handpicked gospel choir will also perform as part of the Service and The King's Scholars of Westminster School will proclaim the traditional 'Vivat' acclamations. Fanfares will be played by The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry and The Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force. Sir Antonio Pappano, Music Director of the Royal Opera House and Conductor of the Coronation Orchestra, said in a press statement: "I am deeply honoured to have been chosen by His Majesty to participate in the musical presentations that will embrace the historic occasion of his Coronation. His Majesty has chosen a most beautiful and varied programme that I believe will enhance the splendour of this very special celebration." As well as having Phantom currently playing in the West End, Lloyd Webber's classic musical Aspects of Love is also making a return to London this year. The new production, which features the hit song "Love Changes Everything" will star Michael Ball and Jamie Bogyo, and starts previews at the Lyric Theatre on 12 May 2023. Lloyd Webber's new musical Bad Cinderella started previews on Broadway on Friday, playing at the Imperial Theatre in New York.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, which was set to close on Broadway in February, is extending its run. Produced by Cameron Mackintosh, the show will now play through to 16 April 2023 at the Majestic Theatre, instead of the original closing date of 18 February 2023. The show will have played 13,981 performances by the time it closes. The New York production, which is the longest running in Broadway history, will celebrate its 35th anniversary on 26 January 2023. The show's closing was originally announced in September, resulting in a big increase in ticket sales as audiences rushed to see the show a final time. Producer Cameron Mackintosh said in a press statement: “The response to the news that The Phantom of the Opera is finally going to end its record-breaking original Broadway run after 35 years has been as phenomenal as the show itself. We are all thrilled that not only the show’s wonderful fans have been snapping up the remaining tickets, but also that a new, younger audience is equally eager to see this legendary production before it disappears. Such is the demand for tickets that we are delighted to announce that The Shubert Organization has been able to arrange a final eight-week extension of the run at The Majestic Theatre." Composer of the show Andrew Lloyd Webber said: “I am delighted that, after such an incredible reaction from audiences, Phantom at The Majestic is extending. If only the theatre wasn’t closing for a major refurbishment, we’d be there for an awful lot longer. I would love to thank everyone who has made this extension possible, from our cast and crew, to our brilliant musicians and everyone at The Majestic Theatre.” The Broadway cast currently stars Ben Crawford as The Phantom, Emilie Kouatchou as Christine, Jason Forbach as Raoul (Paul Adam Schaefer returns December 7, and John Riddle returns January 2), Nehal Joshi as Monsieur André, Craig Bennett as Monsieur Firmin, Raquel Suarez Groen as Carlotta Giudicelli, Maree Johnson as Madame Giry, Carlton Moe as Ubaldo Piangi, and a rotating cast as Meg Giry including Sara Etsy.

The show has been seen by over 145 million people since it opened in London in 1986. Phantom is the West End’s third longest-running show, behind The Mousetrap and Les Miserables.

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Michael Harrison ">
Andrew Lloyd Webber and producer Michael Harrison forge new collaboration
West End heavyweight Andrew Lloyd Webber is teaming up with impresario Michael Harrison to create a new company. Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals will be a new musical theatre partnership that sees the duo develop new musicals, and produce new productions from Lloyd Webber's catalogue of shows and material. Andrew Lloyd Webber has composed some of the world's most successful musicals including The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre in London, Aspects of Love - which is coming to the Lyric Theatre in May 2023 starring Michael Ball, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunset Boulevard, Evita, Cats, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and more. Michael Harrison is an acclaimed West End, UK and international producer whose productions include recent West End musical The Drifters Girl, forthcoming West End panto Jack and the Beanstalk at the London Palladium starring Dawn French, Oklahoma! coming to the Wyndham's Theatre in February, and touring productions including Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Annie, Singin' in the Rain and The Bodyguard. Andrew Lloyd Webber said in a press statement: "I am excited to announce that I am entering into a production partnership with Michael Harrison. Michael is easily one of the world's leading young theatre producers. Our partnership will build on our relationship which has already produced Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at The London Palladium. Michael has also brilliantly revived the annual Palladium pantomime. Julian Clary informs me that his Beanstalk will be the talk of London when Jack watches it grow in December. On a personal level, I am thrilled. I will now concentrate on composing knowing that I have a first-rate producer to collaborate with in the future." Michael Harrison said: "I am delighted to be joining forces with Andrew Lloyd Webber to create Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals, which I hope will be a major force in producing musical theatre across the world. Andrew has written some of the greatest musicals of all time and I look forward to producing new interpretations of these shows as well as his new work and other musicals by writers Andrew and I both admire." The pair's existing businesses - Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group and Michael Harrison's Michael Harrison Entertainment - will continue as normal. Lloyd Webber recently celebrated 50 years in the West End, and back in March his Really Useful Group company announced a new push into film and TV with the hire of Charles Farmer.

Cameron Mackintosh">
Cameron Mackintosh speaks about Phantom closing on Broadway
Following the news on Friday that The Phantom of the Opera is to close on Broadway after 35 years, Sir Cameron Mackintosh, the producer of the show, has issued a statement. Cameron Mackintosh said: "As a producer you dream that a show will run forever. Indeed, my production of Andrew's Cats proudly declared for decades ‘Now and Forever.' Yet ‘Phantom' has surpassed that show's extraordinary Broadway run. But all shows do finally close, and after considerable discussion between The Shuberts, The Really Useful Group, Andrew and myself, we concluded that the right time for ‘Phantom' was after the show's 35th birthday, on February 18 – a double celebration of ‘Phantom's' phenomenal success. Gaston Leroux's opera ghost may be disappearing for now, but there is no doubt that Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece will continue to enchant audiences in London and around the world – and one day will return to Broadway." Mackintosh also spoke to the New York Times (see link below), and said: "You don’t want to run a great show into the ground. It’s always been one of my mantras throughout my long career: There’s an art to closing a show, as well as opening one.” Phantom has struggled to attract sufficient audiences to counter its heavy running costs (at nearly $1 million a week, it's one of the most expensive shows to run on Broadway), but Mackintosh is loathe to only blame Covid for the closure. "I don’t think it’s just the pandemic — I think it would be wrong to say that. The world has changed. The pandemic was a catalyst, but now suddenly the West is realizing that the whole situation which everyone let drift with Russia, and to a point with China, has changed the whole order, and we’re in the middle of discovering where it’s going to go. And the theater isn’t immune from that." Mackintosh is also in a celebratory mood about Phantom's impressively long run on Broadway, saying that the decision to close the show led him to be both "sad and celebrating", and that "it’s an extraordinary achievement, one of the greatest successes of all time. What is there not to celebrate about that? When I started, a year to two years was considered a good run." The Broadway production opened on 26 January 1988 and is the longest-running show ever on Broadway. Phantom in London is the West End's third longest-running show, behind The Mousetrap and Les Miserables. It continues to play in London at Her Majesty's Theatre, soon to be renamed His Majesty's Theatre following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Phantom of the Opera to close on Broadway after 35 years
Broadway's longest running show is to finally close, 35 years after it opened. Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, produced by Cameron Mackintosh, is to close at the Majestic Theatre in New York. A statement on the show's website said: "We are sad to confirm that after 35 years on Broadway, Phantom will play its final performance at the Majestic Theatre on Saturday February 18th, 2023." The long-runnner will close in February after celebrating its 35th anniversary in January 2023. Emilie Kouatchou and Ben Crawford are the current leads of the show. The Broadway production opened on 26 January 1988, and is way ahead of the second longest-running Broadway show, Chicago, by 8 years. The show has been seen by over 145 million people since it opened in London in 1986, and the Phantom brand is still going strong, with an announcement this week that it will be used as the backdrop to a new murder mystery TV series on Peacock. Also a new Australian production has opened recently in Sydney, and a Mandarin production is heading to China next year.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera to feature in new Peacock murder mystery TV series The Show Must Go On
Andrew Lloyd Webber's push into TV and movies seems to be paying off. In March, his Really Useful company announced new plans to produce, license and promote his global hit shows and music, and hired new CEO Charles Farmer, former EVP of MGM International Television Productions. News hits today that Lloyd Webber's long-running musical The Phantom Of The Opera, playing at Her Majesty's Theatre in London - soon to be His Majesty's Theatre - is going to be used in a new TV series. A new hour-long murder mystery anthology series called The Show Must Go On Is currently in development for Peacock, the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal. Phantom will be used as a backdrop for the show, that is in development by Austin Winsberg (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), producer Robert Greenblatt, Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Tannenbaum Company, plus co-producers Lionsgate Television and Universal Television. The pilot will be directed by Richard Shepard and written by Winsberg, with Winsberg, Lloyd Webber, Greenblatt, Eric and Kim Tannenbaum and Shepard co-producing. The series is billed as a darkly comedic murder mystery anthology series where each season takes place in the days leading up to a live televised event, with the first season set against the making of a TV live event version of Phantom. Exciting for fans, the TV show will feature some of the music and songs from the musical including The Music of the Night, plus some of the famous scenes from the show. The Phantom of the Opera is one of the world's most popular and longest running stage musicals, and was turned into a movie in 2004. The show premiered in the West End at Her Majesty's Theatre in London in 1986, and it's the West End's second longest running musical, and third longest-running show. It's also Broadway's longest running show. Robert Greenblatt was formerly Chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Television, and is also a big-time theatre producer and investor, with his credits including TV live specials of The Sound of Music Live!, The Wiz Live!, Hairspray Live!, Peter Pan Live!, and Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert!, with Lloyd Weber as executive producer. Greenblatt told Deadline (see link below), who broke the story, that: “Austin and I have a connection with musicals. When he pitched me the idea to do a murder mystery against a live musical backdrop, I thought it was perfect for me. So I reached out to Andrew Lloyd Webber to see if he would let us use Phantom of the Opera, which has never been done before. I pitched him the idea and he loved it and on got on board.” Greenblatt decided to use Phantom because he thought it was "the perfect show to have a murder happen because the show itself is macabre”.

Her Majesty’s Theatre in London to be renamed His Majesty’s Theatre
The theatre's owner, Andrew Lloyd Webber's LW Theatres, confirms the news Her Majesty's Theatre in London, owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber's LW Theatres, is to change its name following the news yesterday, 8 September 2022, of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. A spokesperson for LW Theatres told the Stage newspaper (see link below) that it would change its name at the “appropriate time", understood to be after the coronation of King Charles III. Dominic Cavendish, Theatre Critic of the Telegraph, also confirmed the news on Twitter, saying that he had spoken to Lloyd Webber earlier today, and Lloyd Webber said: "It has always been in the back of my mind that this would happen. I’m now talking to people because we do need to change it." The theatre's name last changed in 1952 to Her Majesty's Theatre following The Queen's accession, and ahead of her coronation in 1953. It was previously His Majesty's Theatre from 1904 following the death of Queen Victoria and the accession of King Edward VII. Previously it has been known as the Queen's Theatre, with permission from Queen Anne, and the King's Theatre, after King George I. The name change was not foregone on the death of The Queen, with precedent to also keep the existing name. Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera, produced by Cameron Mackintosh, has played at the theatre since 1986. The current Her Majesty's Theatre building opened on 28 April 1897 with a production of Seats of the Mighty by Gilbert Parker. The theatre was designed by C. J. Phipps, and there have been theatres on the site since 1705. Read more about Her Majesty's Theatre Book tickets to The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre in London

And Andrew is still working hard and going strong! New projects on the horizon include opening Cinderella on Broadway, a new push into working in TV and film, and a new Spanish venture with Antonio Banderas. All this plus new musicals are in the works, and his major shows continue to tour the UK and around the world, and return to the West End. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice: congratulations! We salute you!

Ramin Karimloo, Bradley Jaden and Lucy St. Louis to star in ‘Camelot in Concert’
Ramin Karimloo, Bradley Jaden and Lucy St. Louis  will lead the cast in an exclusive one night only production of Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot in Concert at the London Palladium in February 2022. Lerner and Loewe’s majestic musical Camelot brings the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table to life with an extraordinary score that dramatises  a love triangle between King Arthur, Guenevere and Sir Lancelot. “To perform as the majestic King Arthur and be joined by Lucy St. Louis as Guenevere and Bradley Jaden as Lancelot will make this an absolutely stunning show and I can’t wait.” said West End and Broadway star Ramin Karimloo. He added “This is going to be a very exciting production and the fact it is for one exclusive night only makes it even more special.” Camelot tells the story of Arthur, the idealistic King, who hopes to create a kingdom built on honour and dignity. His ideals, however, are tested when his lovely queen, Guenevere, falls in love with the young Knight, Lancelot creating one of the most famous love triangles in literary history. The piece features some of the most well-loved musical theatre songs including ‘If Ever I Would Leave You’, ‘I Loved You Once in Silence,’ and ‘Camelot’. West End and Broadway star Ramin Karimloo (Love Never Dies, Les Misérables) will play King Arthur, Bradley Jaden (Les Misérables, Wicked) will play Lancelot and Lucy St. Louis (Phantom of the Opera, Motown The Musical) is cast as Guenevere - all accompanied by a full orchestra.  Camelot first opened on Broadway in 1960 starring Julie Andrews and the late Richard Burton. The production won four Tony Awards and resulted in several revivals and the 1967 movie of the same name. In August 1964, the show first opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane where it ran for more than 500 performances. Camelot in Concert at the London Palladium is presented by live music and event promoters Cuffe and Taylor in association with theatre producers Lambert Jackson Productions. Lambert Jackson Creative Director Eliza Jackson said: “Camelot in Concert is an incredibly exciting production for us and one that we know will be very special. “With Ramin, Bradley and Lucy leading the cast as the legendary love triangle, we have the most incredible display of talent for this show, and we plan to announce more cast members soon. “Lerner and Loewe created the most soaring music with wonderfully descriptive lyrics and to be given the opportunity to bring this story to life at the magnificent London Palladium is something we very much look forward to doing.” Ben Hatton, Director of Theatre Touring for Cuffe and Taylor, added: “We are delighted to be working with Lambert Jackson and such a strong cast. This is an exclusive one-night only production and that means one thing – hurry to get your tickets as this is a not to be missed show.” Camelot in Concert runs on Sunday 6 February 2022 at the London Palladium.
