jmc's classics
Today is the birthday of British composer Andrew Lloyde Weber in 1948. He is famous for his musicals including Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita and Phantom of the Opera. He has also written film scores, a song cycle and a setting for the requiem mass. He wrote 18 other musicals as of now. He is the brother of cellist Julian Lloyd Weber.
Concerning Phantom of the Opera, I have not yet seen it. However I like the 1943 movie version with Nelson Eddy and Claud Rains much better. It is not as graphic and more appealing to me. The story line is different.
