Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and international producer and longtime collaborator Michael Harrison announced today the creation of a new musical theater partnership to find and develop new

musicals, and create new productions from Lloyd Webber’s catalog. The venture will be called Lloyd Webber Harrison Musicals. “I am excited to announce that I am entering into a production

partnership with Michael Harrison,” Webber said in a statement. “Michael is easily one of the world’s leading young theatre producers. Our partnership will build on our relationship which

has already produced _Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat _at The London Palladium. Webber said he “will now concentrate on composing knowing that I have a first-rate producer to

collaborate with in the future.” WATCH ON DEADLINE Harrison said he hopes the new venture “will be a major force in producing musical theater across the world,” and that he looks forward “to

producing new interpretations” of Webber’s musicals “as well as his new work and other musicals by writers Andrew and I both admire.” Harrison’s West End musicals include _The Drifters

Girl, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, Annie_ and others. He produced Disney’s _Bedknobs and Broomsticks_ on tour in the UK. He is Chief

Executive of Crossroads Pantomimes, responsible for such London Palladium pantomimes as _Cinderella, Dick Whittington, Snow White, Goldilocks and the Three Bears _and_ Pantoland._ All

existing projects and business at Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group and Michael Harrison Entertainment will continue to exist and operate outside of the new company.
