In the interview, Andrew Lloyd Webber discusses the recordings of musicals, including Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunset Blvd., which is currently running on Broadway starring  Nicole Scherzinger as ‘Norma Desmond', and more. 

About his upcoming projects, Lloyd Webber shared, "Jamie Lloyd is doing a version of Evita in London this coming summer, and working with a director like Jamie, for me, is a wonderful thing, because he can talk from a different perspective than I do. The consequence of that with SUNSET BLVD., for example, is that we took the score a lot darker, in a lot more dangerous way than the original."

Lloyd Webber also discussed the recent reimagining of Cats, Cats: The Jellice Ball, which ran Off-Broadway, and the show's future, stating, "We would love The Jellicle Ball to have a new home. I mean, obviously it can’t just be shoehorned into a Broadway theater."
