LYNN UNIVERSITY
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber celebrates his 70th birthday this year, so it seems appropriate that we should choose this show of his best-loved music to celebrate the birth of our new BFA in Drama!
Usually done as a classic “stand and sing” revue, we’ve decided instead to set most of the songs in our production of The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber in the scenes from the
various shows. This gives our BFA Musical Theatre students the chance to act the characters as well as sing the songs – complete with costume changes!
Prepare to be amazed as you are transported into the worlds of these popular hit musicals – Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (which turned 50 in 2018!), Cats, Song and Dance, Starlight Express, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunset Boulevard, Aspects of Love, and of course The Phantom of the Opera, which celebrates its 30th anniversary on Broadway this year!
For those who already know and love Webber’s music, this show will remind you of his lush and stirring melodies with the help of our enormously talented Lynn Conservatory instrumentalists. For those who don’t know Webber and his music, I hope that this will spur you to further explore the works of this prolific and talented composer. And, as always, thank you for choosing to support live theatre and Lynn Drama! Enjoy the show(s)!
