New Andrew Lloyd Webber announcement

Webber was recently interviewed and said that he has some exciting news coming hopefully in the next month. Any thoughts?

Could it be

a confirmed sunset boulevard film with Glenn close?

Patti Lupone to reprise her role in Evita in Hal princes revival ?

a 50th anniversary production of Joseph?

Actually, something to mark the 50th anniversary of Joseph may not be so far-fetched. Webber's licensing arm, The Musical Company, is promoting the anniversary in a big way, teaming up with the Educational Theatre Association to grant five deserving schools a free license (no-cost rental and royalty agreement) to do the show, and as far back as 2015, Webber was considering a new West End production to celebrate.

Unless the announcement is related to Unmasked, the forthcoming NBC retrospective, JCS Live, or new material, Joseph is actually the safest bet in the OP.

A Cats revival.

Sorry, but pet peeve of mine directed at three of you in this thread:

First name = Andrew

Last name = Lloyd Webber

And to confuse things even more, his proper title is "The Right Honourable The Lord Lloyd-Webber," even though he retired from the House of Lords last year, and even though his surname is not actually hyphenated.

Patti LuPone in Evita? That's pretty much impossible.

I was wondering if he felt he would ever have a hit after women in white and lnd . And school of rock gave him piece of mind

I'd like to see it tried again with better staging in a smaller fringe setting (like his Woman in White was)."

I really wanted to see Stephen Ward and was hoping it would come over to the States (I loved "Human Sacrifice" ). Same with The Woman in White.

He was asked in a recent interview if there was a new musical in the pipeline and he said he was working on something but did not want to announce anything yet because the plot involves real people who are still alive and he feels compelled to obtain their approval before going any further. So, perhaps the announcement will be about that project.

Another one! I can't figure out why I still haven't received this email.
