You can’t move at the moment without bumping in to something to do with the Lord of theatre, he’s everywhere! It seems everyone wants a slice of the Webber pie this year, whether covering his 60th birthday celebrations or his latest projects Andrew Lloyd Webber has infiltrated every medium from print to TV to web and in true Show and Stay style we’re bringing you the highlights!

Webber Watch: He’s a chart topper!

In a recent interview with Heat magazine, Lord Webber revealed that he has had chart success writing under a different name and revealed that he produced “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” because it was fun…he’s just that kinda guy! This tit bit of information has left the Show and Stay team wondering just what the chart hit he had “more recently than you might think” could be. Could Lloyd Webber be the true mastermind behind the Crazy Frog phenomenon? Is Leona Lewis actually singing Webber ballads? Or is Mr Webber an aspiring DJ, perhaps the face behind Bass Hunter? Answers on a postcard!

Webber Watch: Mentor to the Idols

Our very own Lord of the West End shall be appearing on American Idol as a mentor to the aspiring Kings and Queens of Pop. Lloyd Webber will be offering helpful hints and tips based on his years in the entertainment industry. His appearance on the popular prime-time American series will be juggled with his busy schedule here in the UK, what with all the Nancys to find, theatres to run and his House of Lords commitments. Phew it’s busy work being a Lord!

Webber Watch: Birthday Surprise!

As part of his 60th birthday celebrations, the Lord was presented with a birthday cake by staff and friends at one of his very own theatres!
