STARLIGHT EXPRESS World Tour & New Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical In The Works

Speaking to Whats On Stage at the opening night of Hello, Dolly! starring Imelda Staunton in London, producer Michael Harrison teased two new upcoming Andrew Lloyd Webber project.

Harrison shared that the current production of Starlight Express, playing in a tailor-made space at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, will be going "around the world" - though no timeline was shared.

Harrison also noted that "There is a new Lloyd Webber musical, I’m producing it, we’re not ready to say exactly what it is yet but it’s thrilling – he’s writing phenomenal melody – it’s really really exciting. We’ll probably announce something later in the year. I’ll tell you one thing: it’s not on roller blades."

Back in June, BroadwayWorld reported that Lloyd Webber had completed this next "big" musical.
