In an interview with the Sunday Times, Andrew Lloyd Webber revealed details for his latest musical and discussed plans for an immersive production of Phantom of the Opera Off-Broadway.
Lloyd Webber says that his next project is scoring a new musical based on a film, which he hopes will open in 2026. The musical will be co-created by Argo screenwriter Chris Terrio and is set in Vienna in 1900.
“It will have moments nobody has seen done on a stage before,” says Lloyd Webber. In July, BroadwayWorld reported that Michael Harrison is producing the musical.
Lloyd Webber also confirmed that there are plans for an off-Broadway immersive production of Phantom of the Opera next year. “I’m totally re-energised,” he told the Times. “Theatre is having a total renaissance.”
He noted that the recently reimagined off-Broadway production of Cats: The Jellicle Ball, inspired by New York City ballroom culture, “was a surprise,” and he would like to bring to London.
