As musical theater composers go, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has a staggering amount of hits in his repertoire of past shows. THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, the mini-concert tour now performing through Sunday, February 21 at The Orange County Performing Arts Center, serves as a musical gathering of most of the living legend's greatest hits (and a few not-so-successful, more obscure show compositions as well) into a tight two-hour-and-fifteen-minute concert that's less a theater experience than a symphony concert with some amazing singers. Enhanced by a terrific, full on-stage orchestra under the direction of conductor/musical director Edward G. Robinson, six talented Broadway veterans take the audience show by show through Webber's catalogue.
While the Northern East Coast of the U.S. was hammered with blizzard-like conditions last week, Broadway vet Kevin Kern was busy with the launch of THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, the concert revue he co-stars in, which compiles many of the prolific composer's musical hits that are in turn interpreted by six talented, well-known performers of the Broadway stage. Luckily, he and the extraordinary cast will get the chance to thaw out a little bit when the show pays a visit to the Orange County Performing Arts Center for a limited, one-week engagement on February 16 through 21. Kern-whose theater credits include Broadway's Wicked, The Wedding Singer, and Les Miserables, as well as the pre-Broadway runs of 9 to 5: The Musical and Next to Normal-recently took some time in between performances to talk with BroadwayWorld/Costa Mesa to discuss the concert, as well as his early work in the original casts of Altar Boyz and 9 to 5 (in the latter, he divulges his early star-struck shyness towards a certain Ms. Parton). He also breaks the exclusive news (to us first!) about his upcoming involvement in a hit Broadway musical that's about to cross the pond over to London!
The cast for The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, which makes a visit to the Orange County Performing Arts Center February 16 - 21, will star performers who are noted interpreters of Lloyd Webber's music and well known to Broadway fans.
Jeffrey Finn Productions' THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER will close on February 14 at the Merriam Theater.
The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber covers thirty-one numbers from twelve Andrew Lloyd Webber shows. These shows include both hits, flops, and favorites - Cats, Evita, Phantom, Sunset Boulevard, Aspects of Love, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph, Song and Dance, Whistle Down the Wind, Starlight Express, The Woman in White and The Beautiful Game. Webber's songs are well loved for their musicality and they are well served by the incredible vocals of six Broadway stars.
Jeffrey Finn Productions announces a limited engagement of THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER at the Merriam Theater Feb. 9 - 14.
