Live at Chelsea are pleased to present a musical celebration of Andrew Lloyd Webber at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, as part of the ongoing celebrations for his 70th birthday this year.
In the year he releases his memoir*, Unmasked, and the personally curated Platinum Collection album**, Sunday 17th June 2018 will see the Royal Hospital Chelsea present a night of unique performances of Lloyd Webber’s work by recording artists and stars of the West End, accompanied by The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
With more names to be announced, the line-up includes Tyrone Huntley (Olivier Award winner, Jesus Christ Superstar 2017), Imelda May, Mica Paris, Ben Forster (Winner of ITV’s ‘Superstar’ talent search) and Joe McElderry with the current West End casts of both School of Rock – The Musical and The Phantom of the Opera performing. The evening will culminate in an extravagant firework display.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is the most successful composer of musicals in history and professional productions of his shows have sold more than 330 million tickets worldwide.
