Glenn Close and Andrew Lloyd Webber Attend "Unmasked" at Paper Mill Playhouse

originally published: 02/24/2020


(MILLBURN, NJ) -- On Saturday, February 22, legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber brought his good friend Glenn Close to see his new show at Paper Mill Playhouse, Unmasked: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Following the performance, the two celebrities went backstage with Mark S. Hoebee (Paper Mill’s Producing Artistic Director) to meet and greet the cast, crew and orchestra.

Paper Mill Playhouse is currently presenting the world premiere musical featuring music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and written with Richard Curtis through Sunday, March 1, 2020. One of the most successful musical theater composers of all time takes audiences behind the scenes in Unmasked, a world-premiere featuring stories and songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s remarkable life and celebrated work.

This funny and warm musical portrait, a concert for the theater, offers an intimate look at Lloyd Webber’s five decades in the spotlight and beyond, from his quirky family and bohemian youth in London to the creation of such smash hits as Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, Phantom of the Opera, and Sunset Boulevard. You’ll hear new and sometimes unexpected interpretations of his best-loved songs, rediscovered gems, and some new material specially written for this production.  

Paper Mill Playhouse is located at 22 Brookside Drive in Millburn, New Jersey.  For tickets or more information on the show visit PaperMill.org
