Andrew Lloyd Webber: Star composer makes a "Cinderella" musical
Composer legend Andrew Lloyd Webber (70) has just earned an Emmy for "Jesus Christ Superstar: Live" - and thus "EGOT status" (as Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner). But the Briton does not want to rest on his impressive laurels. As the US-side "The Hollywood Reporter" reports, the 70-year-old is now planning a musical for the famous "Cinderella" story - German fairytale fans better known as "Cinderella".
"I work with young authors whose common age is less than mine," says Lloyd Webber. But he was thrilled with what his young colleagues had made of the story - "They have turned Cinderella into a completely modern and courageous girl," says Lloyd Webber, who adds: "Now that I have agreed, I have to go to my piano. " Although he does not want to exclude a TV implementation entirely, primarily his version of "Cinderella" but to be based on the theater stage. However, it is not yet known when this will happen.
