SIR Andrew Lloyd Webber is to personally give the world premiere
performance of a new song next week in London.
Sir Andrew will accompany award-winning star, Janie Dee, on the
piano on the opening night of her new cabaret show at the Shaw
Theatre on Wednesday, May 4, 2005.
The song, All The Love I Have, was originally written
for his West End football musical, The Beautiful Game,
but Ben Elton has written new lyrics and Sir Andrew has re-orchestrated
the number.
"It's just so beautiful, I literally swooned when he played
it for me this week," said Janie. "To have Andrew play
for me on my opening night is going to make it an unforgettable
experience."
