Internationally renown composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is set to make an appearance on popular British chat show The Graham Norton Show on Friday, with the intention of discussing his new West End musical STEPHEN WARD.

Additionally, Lloyd Webber is also set to premiere first footage from the currently previewing show during the telecast.

Earlier today, the show's official Twitter account posted The Following message: "Watch @TheGNShow on Fri 22:35, @officialALW talks to @grahnort about #StephenWard with some exclusive footage".

The official synopsis for STEPHEN WARD is as follows: "STEPHEN WARD deals with the victim of the Profumo Affair - not, as is widely supposed, John Profumo himself, the disgraced Minister for War, nor even the fatally wounded Conservative government of Harold Macmillan, but the society osteopath whose private libertarian experiments blew up in his own and everyone else's face. In a trial as emblematic to the twentieth century as Oscar Wilde's was to the nineteenth - from which he was the only protagonist to emerge with some dignity and honour. Ward became the targeted scapegoat of a furiously self-righteous Establishment. By no means a hero, he was a reluctant martyr, thanks to an unholy alliance between Press and police of a kind we can all too readily recognise today; inadvertently, he was the hinge between two worlds and the harbinger of a revolution in manners, music and morals when the ordered, stuffy, respectful universe of the fifties gave way to the classless, truculent, unstoppable sixties."

STEPHEN WARD was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Christopher Hampton and Don Black. For more information, check out a previous article on STEPHEN WARD here.
