Lloyd Webber is passionate about the importance of musical education and diversity in the arts. His mantra that every penny of profit made from his theatres is ploughed back into the buildings has meant that considerable work has been undertaken across his theatre portfolio during the pandemic, including the complete re-modelling and re-seating of the Gillian Lynne. It is one of the biggest projects ever undertaken by a private theatre owner in recent times. Over the past three years the latter has been completely restored and renovated at a cost of over £60 million. Lloyd Webber owns seven London theatres including the iconic London Palladium and Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. He is one of the select group of artists with EGOT status, having received Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards.
When Sunset Boulevard joined School Of Rock, Cats and The Phantom Of the Opera, he equalled Rodgers and Hammerstein’s record of four shows running simultaneously on Broadway. Before the covid pandemic hit, Lloyd Webber had shows continually running in the West End for 48 years and on Broadway for 41 years. From Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1968) to Cinderella (2021) his work has been consistently seen on world stages. Andrew Lloyd Webber has composed the scores of some of the world’s most famous musicals.
