sir andrew lloyd webber and the phantom of the opera

Surfing the Net this afternoon, i came across this piece of news.
Have loved Sir Lloyd Webber's works since learning to appreciate Musical Theatre.
Cats.
Jesus Christ Superstar.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
The Phantom of the Opera.
The Sound of Music.
These are just some of the amazing works of Sir Lloyd Webber i've caught.
Have been looking for his Starlight Express and Sunset Boulevard for ages. No luck so far :(
During the sec. sch. days when i was like, totally involved in band, we also got to learn and play some of the music from his amazing works. Especially loved the music to Cats! Who could possibly not love and feel for Elaine Paige's Grizabella when she broke into Memory.
Tonight, i dug up the 'ol Phantom CD. Can't remember when i got 'em but i reckon it must have been a good 10 - 12 years ago; the bits on the CD casing which were white have all gone yellow. hurhur.
I love, love, LOVE that he had Sarah Brightman in the role of Christine. She sounds absolutely amazing! And every time i hear Michael Crawford's Phantom, my heart goes out to him.
The sister and i were really excited to learn of his working on Phantom: Love Never Dies, a couple of weeks ago. Now, having read about his current health conditions, we're really praying for him, and his being able to complete work on Love Never Dies.
*touchwood. if he, you know..., we will forever have one less magnificent, genius of musical theatre.
