Broadway week day 2! Sorry for the lateness in this post, but it has been busy. So I am going to choose videos by going back a little in time each day. Yesterday I had songs from Rent and today I will go back a pick some music from Andrew Lloyd Webber.
For more than two decades Andrew Lloyd Webber has been the king of Broadway musicals. Starting with Jesus Christ Superstar all the way to Phantom of the Opera he has been at the top. just to see what he means to the British, while Paul McCartney and Elton John are both knighted, Lloyd Webber has been made a life peer. He hold the title of Baron Lloyd Webber of Sydmonton. This entitles him a seat in the House of Lords in Parliament.
Anyway, he has has some incredible shows and I am including here songs from Evita and Cats. From Evita, I have Don’t Cry for Me Argentina. This clip comes from the movie with Madonna. I debated this one. I could include audio from the original Broadway cast with Patty Lu Pone, but I think Madonna is just a tad better. The Cats clip is from the original Broadway case with Betty Buckley.
Enjoy!
