"Hamilton doesn't exist without the black and brown artists who created and revolutionized and changed the world through the culture, music, and language of hip hop. It doesn't exist without the brilliant black and brown artists in our cast, crew, and production team who breathe life into this story every time its performed."

Webber has returned to his little converted church, where The Phantom of the Opera was born! This week, he's discussing 'Twisted Every Way', which was written as a countermelody to 'Primadonna.'
Webber said it is still one of his favourite moments in the entire score.
Today I am back in my little converted church, and as promised, would continue on last week and talk about 'Twisted Every Way' from @phantomopera. Written as a countermelody to 'Primadonna', it is still one of my favourite moments in the entire score. - ALW pic.twitter.com/gEzhwVdDtA
