Many happy returns!

and if you say Happy Birthday to la Lloyd... you must wish the Senor Sondheim one too. They share a birthday ya know!

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

And to Mr. Sondheim as well.

It'd like to see a death match between the two.

SUNSET BOULEVARD (The LONDON production) is my favorite show of all time. I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to see it in London with the greatest star of all -- Ms. Patti LuPone -- without ever having to subject myself to the Broadway butchering of what I consider to be the most gorgeous score you have ever written.

Thank you, Mr. Webber, and happy birthday.
