Andrew Lloyd Webber Taking Over Broadway

A Broadway Critic Blog had a post today about Andrew Lloyd Webber taking over Broadway next season by having possibly five shows on the Great White Way.  Phantom of the Opera, which is edging near it 10,000th performance and has been playing since 1986, shows no signs of decline.


Also opening next season is the sequel to Phantom, Love Never Dies, revivals of Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, and a new Webber production of the Wizard of Oz.  We were a bit disappointed that our favorite Webber production wasn't being revived--Sunset Boulevard.  We saw a production of it years ago in Atlanta with Petula Clark and have been obsessed ever since.  When is it coming back to Broadway?
