About Andrew Lloyd Webber: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Baron Lloyd-Webber is an English composer and impresario of musical theatre.
'Phantom of the Opera' started in my little 100-seater converted church in Britain with a stage where we did what we did. But it was the score itself was what made it.
As a composer at a point where I can absolutely pick and choose what I want to do, I don't want to write about anybody I don't care about.
When we finally came to start work on this, the joy was it was only Joel and I, we didn't have to answer to anybody, and we didn't have to submit a screen play or anything like that. We just wrote it and then made it.
