I'm going to take the kids away over Christmas but I don't, I've written 14 musicals now, I don't want to rush into doing something just for the sake of doing it. I want to do it when I find a story.
Andrew Lloyd WebberWe don't have butlers. Obviously we have people who look after the houses, but I try not to run things formally.
Andrew Lloyd WebberWhen people ask me if musical theatre should be taught in music colleges, I reply that there is no need. All anyone needs to study is the second act of La Boheme because it is the most tightly constructed piece of musical theatre that there is. It is practically director-proof: you can't stage it badly because it just works too well. If you can write La Boheme, you can write anything. I would also recommend studying Britten's Peter Grimes.
Andrew Lloyd WebberPeople in Britain always think of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' as a musical - it wasn't.
