 New ALW Show It's been announced that ALW will write a new musical based on a Russian novel " The Master and Margarita"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/playbill/200608 ... ill/101650
Interesting idea, I just don't know if ALW has any more music inside him. He said he is looking for a collaborator which I'm sure means lyrics. Interesting if he could get Sondheim but I doubt it and I think Sondheim's talent is probably spent as well.

Why would you ever thing that Sondheim would collaborate with Webber. The two produce vastly different pieces of theatre. I think Sondheim would sooner agree to write the sequel to Wicked or Children of Eden, than work with Webber.

ALW and SJS sort of collaborated on Duelling Pianos, so I doubt they hate eachother.

Sondheim + Webber would = a very GOOD musical that would appeal to all sorts of people. It could work.

How?
As far as I can understand, they write shows for very different reasons and purposes. I don't really comprehend how they should be able to share the vision of a musical.

New ALW Show I'm kinda sad that nothing came of this project in the end, with Andrew Lloyd Webber having abandoned his plans to write the score for a musical based on The Master and Margarita. The novel could be wonderful source material for a musical. Though if I could have my way, I'd rather see Michael John LaChiusa or Adam Guettel writing the score...

Re: You realize that Sondheim did not write either of those shows right?
