Andrew Lloyd Webber At The BBC

RADIO 2, 12.00NOON

A significant amount of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sensationally successful work in musicals has been inspired by the Bible – from Joseph and the Amazing

Technicolor Dreamcoat to Jesus Christ Superstar – so this effusive celebration of his career is also rather apt listening for Good Friday. It’s presented by another legend of musicals, Michael Ball, who introduces a selection of Lloyd Webber hits performed by stars including Elaine Paige and Tom Jones, and a range of archive interviews with the man himself.
