Andrew Lloyd Webber chooses the Tracks of My Years

Andrew Lloyd Webber - legendary composer and impresario of musical theatre - chooses the Tracks of My Years, Ken has the daily love song plus another round of PopMaster.

Andrew Lloyd Webber - legendary composer and impresario of musical theatre - chooses the Tracks of My Years all week with Ken.

His new musical 'Cinderella' opened at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in August this year, and the production is a complete reinvention of the classic fairy tale.
It's written by - and based on an original idea from - Emerald Fennell, the Oscar winning screenwriter behind Killing Eve.

Cinderella has a brand new score from Andrew and lyrics by David Zippel, a multi-award winner for Broadway productions including City of Angels, The Goodbye Girl and The Woman in White.

Carrie Hope Fletcher plays the title role and is joined by Rebecca Trehearn as the Queen, Ivano Turco as Prince Sebastian and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as the Stepmother.

Andrew - now Baron Lloyd Webber - has received a number of awards during his glittering career. He is one of sixteen people to have completed the legendary EGOT - that's an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony for his work. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is an inductee into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, and is a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors.

His company, the Really Useful Group, is one of the largest theatre operators in London and he is involved in a number of charitable activities. In 1992, he started the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation which supports the arts, culture, and heritage of the UK.

The first two tracks Andrew has chosen come from Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers. Ken also has the daily love song plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
