Interviewer: Many people find Andrew Lloyd Webber shows to be over-produced, over-hyped, and over-the top. With shows like JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, EVITA, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and CATS, what do you think makes Webber so distinctive?

Eric: Andrew Lloyd Webber has three names, which is more than I can say for any of these other writers.

Joanne: The Queen of England loves Andrew Lloyd Webber so much, she knighted him. Now he has three names plus a title. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. What else can I say? Who am I to criticize? I don't have any title. Why, the Queen of England doesn't even know I exist! She doesn't call, she doesn't write. Don't get me started.

Interviewer: I'd like to move on now to your show, SPEAKEASY, in the style of Kander and Ebb.
