Basic Information on Andrew Lloyd Webber from Wikipedia:

"Andrew Lloyd Webber, Baron Lloyd-Webber (born 22 March 1948) is an English composer and impresario of musical theatre. Several of his musicals have run for more than a decade both in the West End and on Broadway. He has composed 13 musicals, a song cycle, a set of variations, two film scores, and a Latin Requiem Mass. Several of his songs have been widely recorded and were hits outside of their parent musicals, notably "The Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera, "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "You Must Love Me" from Evita, "Any Dream Will Do" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and "Memory" from Cats. In 2001 the New York Times referred to him as "the most commercially successful composer in history". Ranked the "fifth most powerful person in British culture" by The Telegraph in 2008, the lyricist Don Black stated "Andrew more or less single-handedly reinvented the musical."

He has received a number of awards, including a knighthood in 1992, followed by a peerage from Queen Elizabeth II for services to Music, seven Tonys, three Grammys (as well as the Grammy Legend Award), an Academy Award, fourteen Ivor Novello Awards, seven Olivier Awards, a Golden Globe, a Brit Award, the 2006 Kennedy Center Honors, and the 2008 Classic Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is an inductee into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, and is a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

His company, the Really Useful Group, is one of the largest theatre operators in London. Producers in several parts of the UK have staged productions, including national tours, of the Lloyd Webber musicals under licence from the Really Useful Group. Lloyd Webber is also the president of the Arts Educational Schools London, a performing arts school located in Chiswick, West London. He is involved in a number of charitable activities, including the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Nordoff Robbins, Prostate Cancer UK and War Child. In 1992 he set up the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation which supports the arts, culture and heritage in the UK."

Lyrics to "As If We Never Said Goodbye:"

Don't know why I'm frightened

I know my way around here

The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here

Yes a world to rediscover

But I'm not in any hurry

And I need a moment

The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways

The atmosphere as thrilling here as always

Feel the early morning madness

Feel the magic in the making

Why everything's as if we never said goodbye

I've spent so many mornings

Just trying to resist you

I'm trembling now

You can't know how I've missed you

Missed the fairy-tail adventures

In this ever-spinning playground

We were young together

I'm coming out of make-up

The lights already burning

Not long until the camera's will start turning

And the early morning madness

And the magic in the making

Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye

I don't want to be alone that's all in the past

This world's waited long enough

I've come home at last

And this time will be bigger

And brighter than we knew it

So watch me fly, we all know I can do it

Could I stop my hand from shaking?

Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for?

The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways

So much to say not just today but always

We'll have early morning madness

We'll have magic in the making

Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye

Oh, please don't ever ever make me say goodbye
