Andrew Lloyd Webber is celebrating his 70th birthday in style this month with a new album, autobiography, the Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concertspecial, and a tribute given in his honor just days before the Easter special presentation. NBC will present Andrew Lloyd Webber: Tribute to a Superstar on Wednesday, March 28, that will include conversations with John Legend, Glenn Close, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and a performance by the Young People’s Chorus of New York City.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is said to be one of the world’s biggest musical composers, having won seven Tony Awards, three Grammy Awards, one Oscar, a Golden Globe, The Kennedy Center Honor and so on. Last year, he became the first person to tie with the record set by Rodgers & Hammerstein in 1953 with four of his shows running at the same time on Broadway: Sunset Boulevard, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera and School of Rock. His musicals also include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Evita, Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar. The latter has been adapted by NBC and will be shown as a “live in concert” event on April 1.
