Phantom 2 or Once Upon Another Time - Nov 2009 May 30, 2008
Posted by Linda in : Once Upon Another Time, news , 6commentsAndrew Lloyd Webber’s new musical, known till now as Phantom 2, will be called Once Upon Another Time. In an interview with the BBC today ALW revealed that the show will open in November 2009, if all goes well.
Ben Elton has already been confirmed as the writer of the book for the new show, rather than Frederick Forsyth who was involved in the early stages. Glen Slater (Little Mermaid) will be the lyricist and Andrew Lloyd Webber himself will write the score.
It seems likely that Jack O’Brian (lately of Hairspray) will direct.
No further news yet of which theatre or confirmed dates.
No BBC Link Up
Lloyd Webber also said that it was unlikely that he would do a fourth BBC show in the near future, making it unlikely that Once Upon Another Time will be cast in quite such a high profile way. In fact he suggested that he might do some US television and “give Britain a year off.”
