Andrew Lloyd Webber has been keeping us all entertained during quarantine, releasing videos of him playing some of his most iconic songs on the piano from his own home.
Tonight he has released not just a video of him playing one of his classic songs, but has announced a competition for people to come up with the cadenza for the end of the song Think Of Me from The Phantom of the Opera!
He said:
“This weekend singalong is special as I’d like you to make up your own cadenza at the end of ‘Think of Me’. I will choose my favourite, to be performed by Christine on the night when @PhantomOpera reopens, have fun!”

What an amazing chance for someone to come up with a brand new tune for Christine to sing on opening night when Phantom reopens in the West End.
So get your thinking caps on and submit your new tunes to the Lord himself!
