Andrew Lloyd Webber to Write Profumo Scandal Musical

According to a report by BBC News, Andrew Lloyd Webber will follow his ITV talent show SUPERSTAR with a new musical about Stephen Ward, who was linked to the Profumo scandal in the '60s that caused War Minister John Profumo to resign after an affair with Christine Keeler.

"I'm pleased that I've found a subject that I want to write now," Lloyd Webber told the BBC.

His musicals include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Evita, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera and more.
