Lloyd Webber & Rice Share Jesus Memories on BBC???

Musical theatre fans should be sure to tune in to The Culture Show this evening (4 November 2010), which features an exclusive interview with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to mark the 40th anniversary of the Jesus Christ Superstar concept album. The composer and lyricist are interviewed by Matt Berry, star of The It Crowd and The Mighty Boosh, who apparently considers Jesus Christ Superstar to be the “seminal concept album” after “falling in love with it aged 14”.

According to press material, the interview, which airs at 7pm on BBC2, will “give viewers a unique opportunity to hear Andrew and Tim discuss their memories of making the album, and their thoughts on its continuing popularity and significance.” Could this be further evidence that Lloyd Webber plans to make Jesus Christ Superstar the subject of his next reality casting show on the BBC?
