What a wonderful show! Only one complaint, it wasn`t long enough, they could easily have filled 2 hours, maybe more. I love this man`s music, and am also quite fond of Michael Ball, who presented it. Was very surprised to find that Nicole Schertzinger(sp) has such a great singing voice, she was wasted in Pussycat Dolls.

I agree number, it was a great show, I would have enjoyed hearing more. I wonder if that was just part of the evening and we may get more at a later date.

And Yes, Nicole whatsit has a wonderful voice!

it was so nice to finaly have something worth watching instead of the normal rubbish that is on offer, lets hope we get more programmes like this.

Don't cry for me Argentina gave me goose bumps. She would make a good Evita.

And Andrew Lloyd Webber came over as much more human and humerous than I`ve ever given him credit for, seems a very nice man. Hard to believe that he was only 20 when he wrote the music for Jesus Christ, Superstar!

Oh dear - maybe I should have watched it but I cannot get over the fact that Lloyd Webber'smusic is so unoriginal. Kit and The Widow once did a very funny cabaret number in which they identified all of his best-known tunes as coming from classical music- yes he has some good tunes - but they are mostly somebody else's. sad

It's called "You, too, can write a great West End Score - steal it from somebody else" - how many can you spot? grin
