Okay, so just from being on this site today, I've heard alot of things about ppl either hating or loving ALW. Not like talking about specific shows or anything, but just in general, a poll:
Andrew Lloyd Webber: like him or not?
aaaand... go

I'm rather mixed because I like Phantom of the opera and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
If I must choose yes or no however: No.

YES. And eventually I will forgive him for CATS.

Tolerate him.
Love Evita, Song and Dance....and am hoping to like Woman in White.
Dislike most of his other stuff.

Posted: 1/27/05 at 8:13pmWell, I saw it in London and I actually liked it. But, I heard they changed a lot of stuff when it got to broadway. Also, in England there is a HUGE indian population and they really appreciated it.

Posted: 1/27/05 at 8:14pmBut then he had to put up with being married to Sarah Brightman, which moves him a notch up for surviving it.

Ehhh.
I like JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. I like SONG & DANCE. I tolerate PHANTOM. I have a hard time listening to any of his other works.
So, no.
#17re: ALW- yes or no
Posted: 1/27/05 at 8:17pmPriest--Have you ever heard Aspects of Love? That is the musical that is always said to be the closest to Sondheim.

I've become addicted to The Nanny reruns and it's amusing how in almost every episode Max is trying to one-up ALW.
Personally, I think he's okay, but a little over-worshipped. He's not the only man out there but it's seems like he's always fawned over. It gets a little old. I did enjoy Phantom but hated Cats with a passion. Those are the only two I've seen, so I guess I'll take the middle road.

Cool. I think it is similar to PASSION with it's tone and repetoire of love songs. "Love Changes Everything" = HEAVEN!!
