Sir Tim Rice has hit out at his long time friend and collaborator Andrew lloyd Webber, for his plans to stage a new TV reality TV show around their hit musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar.’
It was announced last week that the composer had joined forces with ITV and would soon be starting auditions, to find a male singer and actor who could take on the lead role in a new arena tour of the stage show.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is reportedly considering Nicole Scherzinger as a judge on his new ITV1 talent show.
The musical genius is on the lookout for a talented female vocalist to join the panel of his new series, which will look for a male singer to take on the lead role in his new production of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar.’
Andrew Lloyd Webber has revealed why he decided to move from BBC to ITV for his new talent show ‘Superstar.’
The British composer and TV star will soon commence his search for a male singer and actor to take on the lead role in his hit musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar,’ which will embark on an arena tour later this year.
The search will be televised on ITV, much in the same vein as his previous series ‘I’d Do Anything’ and ‘Any Dream Will Do’ did on BBC One.
Andrew Lloyd Webber has admitted that he may end up casting the two main roles of Jesus Christ Superstar in his new ITV show.
The musical genius announced earlier today that he would be moving from BBC to ITV, to find a male singer who could star in his upcoming arena tour for his hit 1970 musical.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is bringing his search for new talent to ITV this summer and will be on the lookout for the star of his West End hit, Jesus Christ Superstar.
The musical genuis will be touring the UK starting next month, looking for hopefuls to take on the role and we have the details of how you can apply to audition for the ‘Cats’, ‘Phantom Of The Opera’ and ‘Starlight Express’ mastermind.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is leaving the BBC and bringing his search for a star to ITV1 and insiders say the new show will have more than a hint of the X Factor about it.
It was revealed earlier this month that the musical genius would be switching channels this summer and would be looking for an actor and singer to take on the lead role in his hit musical ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, one with a rock edge to his voice.
Nicole Scherzinger has admitted that she would rather work with the ‘legend’ that is Andrew Lloyd Webber than X Factor boss Simon Cowell.
The former Pussycat Dolls star had been hotly tipped as likely to land a judging role on the new American version of the TV talent show, however in an interview with The Mirror she made that seem quite unlikely by admitting that she’d rather be affiliated with musical genius Lloyd Webber on one of his BBC theatre shows.
Nicole said:
“X Factor is hot, but for me Andrew Lloyd Webber is the foundation. He’s where it all began. He’s a legend. He’s more theatrical.
Nicole Scherzinger has revealed that she has held talks with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber about joining the panel of his new BBC reality TV show.
The former Pussycat Doll had acted as a guest judge on The X Factor last year and is thought to be a front runner for Simon Cowell’s new American series of the show. However, the ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’ singer admitted that she may sign with the BBC instead, as Andrew and his wife are close personal friends.
“We’ve been talking about doing some work together soon, on stage and on his new TV show. I would love it,” Scherzinger told The Sun.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber is to become a US TV star.
The composer – best known for writing musicals such as ‘Cats’ and ‘Evita’ and appearing on stage star search shows ‘Any Dream Will Do’ and ‘Over the Rainbow’ – will say goodbye to British television after getting offers from American network bosses.
The 62-year-old Oscar winner’s first programme will see him look for an unknown to play Dorothy in a new adaptation of ‘The Wizard of Oz’.
After producing hit shows like Any Dream Will Do, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria, I’d Do Anything and this year’s Over The Rainbow, it seems that Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber is done with the BBC.
Sources report that the theatre mogul will not be making any more TV shows with the channel, but is instead considering a move across to ITV and the land of Simon Cowell.
