Today is a very special day for Broadway, as two of the greatest composers in the history of musical theatre were born on this day- Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber!
Lloyd Webber has composed 13 musicals, a song cycle, a set of variations, two film scores, and a Latin Requiem Mass. He has also gained a number of honours, including a knighthood in 1992, followed by a peerage from the British Government for services to Music, seven Tony Awards, three Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, fourteen Ivor Novello Awards, seven Olivier Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2006. Several of his songs, notably "The Music of the Night", "I Don't Know How to Love Him", "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "You Must Love Me", "Any Dream Will Do" and "Memory" have been widely recorded and were hits outside of their parent musicals.
