    Career

    Composer Lloyd Webber is known for writing a theatrical and symphonic version of The Little Prince (co-written with James D. Reid) based on the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The production premiered at the Lyric Theatre Belfast and Theatre Calgary before headlining the Abu Dhabi music and arts festival with the Heritage Orchestra.[4] [5] Together, Lloyd Webber and Reid produced the Scottish folk music album Speyside Sessions with actor Kevin McKidd, which went to No.1 in the iTunes World Music Charts. He also composed the music for Fat Friends The Musical, which premiered at the Grand Theatre in Leeds and subsequently toured the UK in 2018. A second UK tour, planned for 2022, was postponed.

    Besides musical theatre, Lloyd Webber was known for scoring the BBC One drama Love, Lies and Records, and the film The Last Bus, directed by Gillies McKinnon and starring Timothy Spall and Phyllis Logan.[6] Lloyd Webber also wrote music for 56 Up, the eighth installment of the documentary series that began with 7 Up, for Children's television, and for television advertisements.[7]

    Lloyd Webber produced the Andrew Lloyd Webber Symphonic Suites at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London, released by Decca Records in 2021.[9]

    Lloyd Webber co-produced and mixed the pre-production concept album of the musical Cinderella for Polydor Records, which went to number one on the official UK compilation album charts in July 2021.[10]
