Old and new for Lloyd Webber
Andrew Lloyd Webber is to debut new songs from his forthcoming musical about the Profumo affair in a TV special marking his four decades of West End hits.
Stars such as Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberley Walsh, Melanie C and Myleene Klass are to take part in the programme performing tracks from much-loved shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats and Evita.
The 90-minute special, to be screened by ITV on Easter Sunday, is to be hosted by Michael Ball. Lloyd Webber joked: “I said I would only do it if it wasn’t some po-faced tribute to a bloke who’s about to collect his bus pass.”
