After the huge success of both ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria’ and ‘Any Dream Will Do’, for the BBc, many would assume that musical genius, Andrew Lloyd Webber would jump at the chance of a third series.

However, Andrew has declined a third series with the beeb as he wants to focus on writing his new musical.

The musical will be a sequel to the Phantom Of The Opera, which is likely to be called Phantom Of Broadway.

Lloyd Webber said: “I need to get back to writing. I want to throw myself into it. Over the Easter weekend I wrote the first song and I’m really pleased with it.”

I wonder if the BBC will continue without him? They do seem to have a winning formula…..
