I'm back now uh, we're uh, we're done with the show, we're in post - the TV show - we're in post-production, if you don't know what post means, post production is what that means. We're editing them together, they're coming out great, thanks guys so much for all of your kind words about the sneak-peek that we put out, and speaking of the sneak peak - we have one of the guests that you saw on the sneak peek here for the entire hour, this is quite a treat because sometimes he comes barging in here, uhm, like ah.. some loudmouth buffoon, but we have him here all hour - he's uh, here for a quiet, sedate interview, and we're just gonna get into it, I um, I'm very excited cause growing up as many of you know, a musical THEATER person, I loved his work growing up. Uh, first of all, I came to know his work from the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I saw that when I was fourteen years old, thought it was fantastic, uh, then segue'd into a more, in my opinion, a more adult tone with Jesus Christ Superstar, but then the hits just caaaaaaaaaaaeeept on coming (laughing) uh, with HEvita, which you can see on broadway right now with Ricky Martin, and uh from HEvita we went to HEcats and HEphantom of the opera and so many more and he's here to talk to us about all of those and what he has going on now, I want to welcome to the program our very special guest for the entire program - he's a musical theater legend, he is, I would say composer? Not as much a libretist - usually finds other people to write the words for him - but maybe we're gonna find out about some of his future projects! But you know him (laughing) how long can this intro go on? You know him as lord ALW, Andrew Lloyd Webber is here with us!Andrew Lloyd Webber: (Exhaling noisily): Did you know Scottrick, I've been holding my breath for the entirety of the introduction!Scott: I had no idea...Andrew Lloyd Webber: Why did I do it?Scott: I... why would you?Andrew Lloyd Webber: Cause I'm required to do so from the podcastual by-laws, why a gentleman holds his breath during the introduction - everyone knows this!Scott: Well maybe you, uh, you're just soaking all of that in, you don't wanna exhale.Andrew Lloyd Webber: A gentleman never soaks anything in.Scott: I notice that you've tied a ribbon around your microphone.Andrew Lloyd Webber: I have, for... for the troopsScott: Ah yes, I know you're very, which troops - by the way?Andrew Lloyd Webber: Grenada.Scott: so...Andrew Lloyd Webber: I'm late on my wars, I'm just getting around to GrenadaScott: Yeah...Andrew Lloyd Webber: Yes, oh those bloody Falklands, thank god that's over.Scott: Yes Uh, well welcome Andrew Lloyd WebberAndrew Lloyd Webber: Thank youuuuuu!Scott: You know you've been a guest on this program many times!Andrew Lloyd Webber: Countless!Scott: And this is the first time you've been an invited guest!Andrew Lloyd Webber: Yes, Thank you.Scott: Usually people are doing this show, if people have heard the show before, usually I talk to our guests, and in the middle of the show, some "oddball" comes in. And you're - sometimes -Andrew Lloyd Webber: I'm certain you don't lump me in that particular category!Scott: no no no, you're an actual theatrical gentlemanAndrew Lloyd Webber: YesScott: Who occasionally comes inAndrew Lloyd Webber: Legend, some say.Scott: (Laughing) some sayAndrew Lloyd Webber: I just said it - wouldn't kill you to repeat itScott: All right you're a legend!Andrew Lloyd Webber: Thank you!Scott: So welcome to the show, it's always great to see you!Andrew Lloyd Webber: Thank you scottrick for actually inviting me. Now, in a way you have invited me because you have an open-door policy.Scott: I do, when it comes to you, sometimes I... need to invite you because you're a lot like a vampireALW: YesScott: Where you won't step into a room til...ALW: I think it's because of my medal.Scott: Your dracula medallion, and you're capeALW: Well, dracula medallion is of course the style of medallion, which refers to the shape. I've not been awarded it for dracula activities. Dracularic activities. I wish I'd said that the first time!Scott: Well, we can always snip that out!ALW: I wish you would!Scott: Nope! Um, so welcome to the show, yes you're an invited guestALW: Thank youScott: You were saying...ALW: Yes, um, so I.. I've sometimes just had to barge in here when the spirit moved me when I had... uh... something about which to speak, a burning desire to share, uh, my thoughts with the world via your podcastScott: You quite often have several new ideas of theatrical endeavors.ALW: I say, that's true! I'm always thinking, don't you know, you see I work in my dreams. So when I fall asleep each night - or sometimes during the day, we're none of us getting any younger darling - I shall, uh go into the cloud coo-coo land where I think of my ideas for musicals.Scott: Ah, that's where they all come from. I notice that some of your ideas are a little, uh bizarre.ALW: Well lots of my ideas involve, uh, being naked in my old high school.Scott: (Laughing) I'd love to see that new musical you have planned.ALW: There's one, there's a new one I've been working on called My Mom's House, Only it's Not My Mom's House (Scott laughs) but uh, uh, uh, my point being - that I had to rush down here to the Earwolf studios and share with the world these thoughts that I have because I'm bursting at the seams with creativityyyyhhh.Scott: Well we have plenty of time today to hear about all of the...ALW: Thank you, I look forward to spending this time with you.Scott: We're gonna do a, mono-a-mono one-on-oneALW: Man-to-man.... Uno to unoScott: (Laughing) and nothing will ever interrupt us, until we reach the end of the programALW: That's right, in which case, uh, we will be interrupted by the program's conclusion.Scott: (Laughing) Yes, and that may not be an interruption as much as it will be a denumentALW: Oh, I like when you use theatre terms!Scott: Thank you so much.ALW: Thank you!Scott: So first...ALW: Ask me... May I sayScott: YesALW: At this point - it's rare that I do such a thing - Scottrick you may ask me anything. Nothing is out of bounds, nothing is off-limits. It's all - all's fair in love and war and this interview. We may chat about this, that even the other thing! Which I have heretofore forbidden any journalist to ask me about!Scott: Right, all right, well let me try to delve deep then.ALW: I am an open book, and lyrics.Scott: I would love to ask you something, just, that maybe no one has ever asked you beforeALW: I dare you to do so!Scott: All right, who would you say are the two main characters in Jesus Christ: Superstar?ALW: Ah, this is an excellent question. No one has ever asked me this. Usually everyone just knows. If I were to... if I were to state definitively, who the main two characters are in Jesus Christ: Superstar...Scott: Although you could expand it to main three... too..ALW: Oh, I like the way you think! This is certainly this is - two unasked questions in a row! (Scott laughs) The main two characters are - in order - I would say..Scott: Oh, in order of importance or in order of appearance?ALW: BothScott: (Laughing) Okay... greatALW: Neeeeh... Now, I can't remember who appears first..Scott: Well, I believeALW: Don't hold me to thatScott: I believe Judas appears firstALW: All right, then this would be in order of importance! In my mind...Scott: He's... he, he, the curtain risesALW: YesScott: Lights up,ALW: That's rightScott: Both kind of usually at the same time...ALW: Everyone is told backstage: "Stop whistling, stop saying Macbeth!"Scott: And then, all of the sudden - Judas appears onstage!ALW: That's right Scott: And you hear, uh, that famous refrainALW: Always there are some boos in the audienceScott: Yes, alwaysALW: They recognize him - BOOO he betrayed our lord!Scott: Then Judas twirls his moustache....ALW: That's right. He puts on his tophat, he stands up from the train tracks, and he has tied Jesus Christ..Scott: And he asks Mary Magdolin for the rent.ALW: That's right, she says: "I cannot pay this rent, you ask." And he says: "Ah, but I am Judas Iscariot, and I demand you pay thirty rents! Thirty pieces of rent! (Singing with scott) Five thousand twenty one-hundred, six hundred reeeents!"Scott: YesALW: And then, Jesus bursts from his ropes and he says: "Jesus, SMASH." Then he goes on a rampidge! Smashing this and that, the military is called in!Scott: Yes, of course - and they start firing at him, but the shells... the shells just bounce off of his skin.ALW: He says: "You make jesus angry!"Scott: Puny humans!ALW: "Puny humans!"Scott: Yessss...ALW: Then Pontius Pilate comes in and he says...Scott: And he punches Pontius...ALW: He punches Pontius, who becomes a pilot, he gets in a plane, but he can't fly it because he's so scared of the controls being dirty - he keeps washing his hands!Scott: Yes of course!ALW: The plane crashes. Jesus resurrects everyone from the plane crash.Scott: Smash cut to....ALW: It's twenty years later. The skynet corporation has taken over all of Judea!Scott: Yes! Oh my goodness. What an amazing... Now - many of you have probably have not seen this, this program because you're not theater nerds like us!ALW: No, no I imagine you like your sporting events!Scott: Yes, cricket...ALW: Your North American baseball!Scott: Your North American football.ALW: What's that?Scott: FooootballALW: Mmm, sounds familiar...Scott: It's a game where, uh, it has a quarterback and he touches the ball with his fooot a lot.ALW: Oh you mean like English soccer?Scott: Yes, of courseALW: So uhm, and that's Jesus Christ: Superstar, and there's the characters!Scott: Okay, fantastic! Well, I have many more questions like this... so, uh.ALW: I hope you have thousands and thousands!Scott: So here we go!ALW: The more probing the better!Scott: OkayALW: You may ask me personal things - doesn't need to just be work-related! I'm giving you carte blanche!Scott: Okay, personal questions... uh. How do you feel about the main characters in Jesus Christ: Superstar, and who are they?ALW: (Growls quietly)Scott: Do you feel like they're the right ones, that you picked, and who are they?ALW: You know, Scottrick, I have, uh, conversations with the characters from my musicals almost every...

(Laughs)Scott: Yeah, I get what you're sayingALW: Yeah, so it's commonplace to ask now, but for this little boy - emerging from the fog of two years ago.Scott: Mmm, do you remember it? 2010ALW: Oh, I wish I couldScott: Oh, actually 2009, because we tape this in 2011ALW: Oh that's right, I keep forgetting thatScott: Yeah we tape it a year in advanceALW: I keep forgetting it's 2011Scott: YeahFourvel: That's 'cause I got your calendar.ALW: That's exactly why!Scott: Give him back... give him back his calendar!Fourvel: You can have your calendar backALW: Here, I give you these table scraps - one's a big as yourself!Fourvel: Oh thank you!Scott: Where did you get so many table scraps?ALW: I'm just always carrying them aroundScott: Really for what purpose?(Fourville eating noises)ALW: Uh, for just such an occasion - in case I meet orphans.Fourvel: Well, I'm an orphan, you could take me if you want and put me in musicals.ALW: Are you... dear boy are you an orphan?Fourvel: I used to be an actor.ALW: Is that so?Fourvel: YeahALW: You've trod the boards!Fourvel: I did a lot of musical theatre when I was just a baby boyALW: Is that... what productions?

So did you run away from an evil orphanage a la Annie or....Fourvel: Yeah, and a rich man took me in for a little while, and he was - and they got me into a theatre program.Scott: Oh, that's so nice of him - to sort of broaden your horizons a little...Fourvel: I just wanted scraps...Scott: Well, I'm sure if he was a rich man you could've eaten anything!Fourvel: He was a very rich man and he had lots of good food.Scott: Ice cream sundaes?Fourvel: Ice cream sundaes, he gave me a banana once - I put it on the ice cream sundae and that's how the banana split got created I don't know if you know that fact.ALW: Wait a minute...Scott: Hold on a secondALW: I have to ask you young man...Fourvel: Well, the second time it was createdALW: Oh, no further questionsScott: (Laughing) Um, so when you created it, it became something in your mind.Fourvel: YeahScott: Okay greatFourvel: I had never seen one beforeScott: So you actually created it because you'd never seen one before nor heard of one.Fourvel: Yeah I create things all the time, I just created an air conditioner.Scott: Well, someone can invent something even if it exists...ALW: Yes, if they don't know it exists they think they've invented it.Scott: It's like someone who writes a joke that already exists. You still wrote the joke!ALW: Great minds think alike, as they say!Fourvel: Yeaaaah baby.Scott: Wait now...Fourvel: I just made that up right nowALW: I'm sorry to tell youFourvel: What?ALW: This is the creation...Scott: A man - Austin Powers - has copyrighted that.Fourvel: Whats an Austin Powers?Scott: Oh, you've been gone for longer for two years.ALW: He was a great agent. An agent of MI:6Scott: So (Laughing) so... what happened to the rich man, though, he put you into this theatre program and then that....Fourvel: He threw me away! (Gasps) In a little dumpster.ALW: This cruel fellow!Scott: So you were in a... in a theatre program.Fourvel: I found - I was walking the streets lookin' for scraps in a very rich part of town, and then the rich man picked me up and he said: "Can you sing?" I said: "Yeah." And he put me in a theatre program.Scott: Okay, but what happened then? I don't understand because you're under the care of a rich man, it seems like you...Fourvel: I get... sometimes I can be a bit much.Scott: Oh, you're a handful.Fourvel: YeahALW: Now, Scottrick is right. Normally for an orphan to become under the care of a rich man tis a consummation devoutly to be wished by all orphans, but you're saying it was through some personality quirk of your own...Fourvel: Yeah, I get stabby.Scott: Whoah....ALW: Now, I'm not familiar with American slang, what does that word mean, cranky?Fourvel: I live on the streets I gotta know how to take care of myself and be a tough guy.ALW: CertainlyScott: Are you...Fourvel: So sometimes I get stabby.ALW: Again, I don't, I'm not familiar with this term.Scott: I think what he's trying to say, Lord ALW is that....ALW: Please, call me Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.Fourvel: Please call him that, he deserves the respect.ALW: Thank youuuu young orphan. Thank you nameless orphan.Scott: What is your name, by the way? We never asked you your name.Fourvel: My name?Scott: Is it Fagin?Fourvel: It's FourvelALW: (In unison with scott) Fourvel.Fourvel: Fourvel - Like Feivel but one less.Scott: Uh, so what, wait what was I saying? Oh stabby!Fourvel: Yes stabby.Scott: Stabby - I think what he's trying to say is he actually stabs people.Fourvel: Oh yeah, all the timeALW: Is that what you mean?Fourvel: You gotta take care of yourself, you gotta know how to stab, or else you'll get - you know you'll get taken advantage of.Scott: Are you carrying...ALW: You're not wrong there.Scott: Are you carrying a weapon right now, on your person?Fourvel: Not carrying it, it's in my pocket.Scott: What, you don't.ALW: Ah, semantics! He's got you! Technically his pocket is carrying it.Fourvel: My hands are all greasy from the scraps so I don't wanna get it on the knife 'cause then the stabbing won't be so accurate.ALW: And to be fair, you did make him unwrap the scraps.Fourvel: YeahScott: Well you know, that actually is in our favor in case he wants to pull that knife, it may slip out of his hands because of all the.ALW: Whysoever would he want to pull that knife?Fourvel: No, you guys seem niceALW: We are. I am.Scott: So did your father figure - the rich guy - I would imagine.Fourvel: Yeah, he was nice.Scott: He was nice?ALW: Why, why, why were you compelled to become so... as you put it... stabby?Fourvel: He's got a mouth on him - he don't know when to stop.ALW: Is that so?Scott: Why?ALW: What were some of the...Fourvel: He'd tell me to clean my room, and I'm not ready to clean my room... Fuckin' pleaseALW: Well! Young man!Scott: Young man!ALW: Fourvel!Fourvel: Don't fuck with me.Scott: Fourvel, come on now, I hesitate to even criticize you....Fourvel: Don't... it's okay! I like you, I'm.. I like your show. I'm a fan of your show.Scott: Oh you know this show?Fourvel: Of courseScott: How did you get lost right outside my building then?Fourvel: Um, I got lost all over the place but right outside I heard your beautiful voice and I came to it, I didnt even know it was like a... it was like it was pulling me toward - like a rapture.Scott: So, you've been gone for two years, it's 2011 right now, cause we tape the show a year in advance... so how, how have you even heard the show? Have you been listening outside the door this whole time?Fourvel: Sometimes I'll just... go up close to people's ears when they have headphones in and try and listen in on the streets.Scott: Oh, that's not annoying.Fourvel: Yeah. No, they hate it.ALW: I... curse those people, you're an adorable little fellow.Fourvel: Thank you!ALW: It would... I would be delighted should you...Fourvel: Coming from you, that's a dream.ALW: Wellll...Scott: I would feel much more comfortable if you disarmed yourself - if you just sorta put that out on the table and just sort of... Fourvel: (Knife sound on table) That's one...Scott: (In unison) One?ALW: Large knife.Fourvel: And a butterfly knife - I invented that.Scott: You invented that? In what way did you invent that 'cause that's an actual professional knife.Fourvel: See, I'm... I... I just thought of it - so I bought it.Scott: Well you bought it, you didn't I mean...Fourvel: Well, sometimes I like to say that's inventing things.ALW: May I ask...Fourvel: But I'd never had one before and I'd never seen it so when I bought it I said: "Now this is something I could get used to!"ALW: Young master Fourvel, may I ask you, when you say butterfly knife...Fourvel: Yeah?ALW: Are you referring to the shape, or its purpose?Fourvel: Um, I have killed many butterflies.ALW: By knife?Fourvel: Yeah, 'cause they don't know when to fuckin'ALW: Again! Young fellow!Fourvel: Cause they just... they just fly near you, into your personal space. And you gotta teach these fuckin' things a lesson...ALW: Oh!Scott: Where did you learn... where did you learn this kind of language?Fourvel: The streets.Scott: Oh.ALW: Oh, there we go, now you have it - yes, the streets.Scott: We... have to judge him on a different scale than normal people who've been raised correctly.ALW: He's... at times he uses such vile words he sounds like a regular cockney, as if he's been born between the sound of both bells!Fourvel: I was in My Fair Lady too and I...ALW: Is that so?Fourvel: YeahALW: What role did you assay?Fourvel: Uh, Alfred Dolittle, the father, clearly.Scott: Oh, meaning: "Get me to the church on time?"Fourvel: (Singing) Get me to the curch on time.ALW: Ah, a wonderful song!Scott: Oh, I love that song, even better hearing a little child sing it.Fourvel: Thank youScott: It's a brand new meaning.ALW: Did you know the songs in that musical were written by The Monkeys.Scott: (Laughing) Oh, rest in peace, davy jones...ALW: They did not write their own songs!Scott: Next year they wrote "Rest in Peace."ALW: What's this now?Scott: Yes, I've - that's the other thing - I've been to the future.Fourvel: Somebody should tell him.Scott: Ah, I'll get around to it.Fourvel: If you don't, whateverALW: Scottrick, you're burying the lead here! You're a time traveller?Scott: Yeah, I've never mentioned that on the show before. ALW: Why, why?Scott: I ping-pong back and fourth from a year in future.ALW: Are you in control of this?Scott: I... I regulate sort of what happens, I'm sort of a time policeman.ALW: A time copper?Scott: We don't like to be called cops.ALW: I do apologize, time bobby?Scott: Time... time bobby is much better.Fourvel: He doesn't like that, Andrew. I'll stab this guy (to Scottrick)ALW: Oh no, please don't, please Fourvel, do not stab...Scott: No no, I saw, I see - right - this is what's worrying me about you.Fourvel: He's a good, he's a genius man, but don't... don't mess with peopleScott: Yes, but that's what's troubling to me is just a second ago you said you'd never stab either of us and now you're saying that you will stab one of us.Fourvel: Just watch your step is all I'm sayin'...ALW: You seem entirely too ready to stab.Fourvel: I'm just good at it.Scott: I mean the good thing is, though, at least your weapons are equidistant from the three of us - they're just right there in the middle of the table. Any of us could reach over...ALW: Yes, that's true, very true.Fourvel: I like to keep it fair.Scott: Yes, so if it ever comes to it in the course of this program...Fourvel: Street rules.Scott: ...We all have a good, equal chance of grabbing the knifeFourvel: YeahScott: Although it does look a little slippery because your hands...Fourvel: It's greasy...ALW: Grease. Scraps. Scraps. Grease.Scott: Yes, so that may come into play. If it ever comes to that - I'm not saying it even will....ALW: I doubt it willScott: Hopefully we'll be great friends, but it may slip out of some of our fingers, if we ever grabbed it.ALW: I'm sure we'll remain the best of friends throughout the entire podcast!Fourvel: Everyone's just gotta stay coolScott: Yeah, we'll all stay cool. I'm sure we will, right?Fourvel: Everyone will stay cool as Fonzie.Scott: All right, tell you what, I do wanna take a little bit of a break here.ALW: Why?Scott: Why? Well, you know, to pay the bills!ALW: I don't understand.

He treated me right but then that morningALW: All he asked was He just asked that you leave him alone, he was feeling poorly and you stabbed him unto death!Fourvel: You you, you dont act like that. You gotta be nice. I dont tolerate rudeness.ALW: Eh, but Fourvel, dear boy. Have you ever considered the more peaceful alternative of discussion, of uh, negotiation, talking with people before you bring out your cold steel blade and insert it betwixt their ribs!Fourvel: I will definitely try to curb my, curb my problem if Im with you but I I know its hard when you live on the streets and you grow up like that everyones tryin to get you so sometimes you justScott: How did your original parents die? Because be your tryin to say that, uh you came into these stabby feelings because of growing up on the streets and its hard.Fourvel: Yeah cause my parents died.Scott: Right so wha how did they die.Fourvel: Well, it was my birthday, and they said (singing) Happy birthday to you and they sing the song and they brought out the cakeALW: Thats a classic from Mildred and Patty Hill.Fourvel: Yeah they brought out the cake.Scott: Those spinsters?ALW: Oh, fuh. Miserly old crones!Scott: Still demanding money years after theyve passed!ALW: Still demanding money! Would you believe it I had a birthday party for someone on my staff, we all sang happy birthday There they appeared! Rising up out of the floorboards!Scott: And they passed a hat?ALW: They, they made everyone turn out their pockets. Some of the poorer members on staff, of course, very embarrassed because they had no money and moths flew out of their pockets.Scott: Yeah! I remember yeah.ALW: Well, I was mortified on their behalf!Scott: Thats happened to me with my wallet every once in aALW: Oh noScott: In the lean years.ALW: Oh yesScott: The David Lean years.ALW: Yes, when you were impersonating David Lean.Scott: Yes of course. A weird person to impersonate. It doesnt get you a lot of money.ALW: Not very much demand for it.Scott: No, not at allALW: There are very few people left. Lawrence of Arabia partiesScott: So what were we talking about?ALW: Oh who cares.Scott: Okay, so they sing happy birthdayFourvel: Ah, I stabbed em.ALW: Oh no! Why why would you stab someone for singing happy birthday?Fourvel: They were singin happy birthday and they got me a cake and I wanted fudgie the whale cake, butALW: And you wanted an iced cream cake?Fourvel: Oh, fudgie the whale cake and it wasnt that. Its your birthday and you should get what you want.Scott: So.. I dont think that you should blame the streets for your murderous leanings hereFourvel: I disagree, Scott, I really disagree.Scott: Sounds like they were instilled in you before you were on the streetsFourvel: NoScott: And your murderous urges kind ofFourvel: I think I just learned from hardships and stuff that was denied from me.ALW: One might say you have a Viggo Mortensonian history of violence.Fourvel: Some people say I have a Viggo the Carpathian history of science.ALW: From Ghost Busters II?Fourvel: Yeah, correct.Scott: I liked Slimer, from Ghost Busters, do you remember him?ALW: He was funFourvel: He was great.Scott: Do you remember him?ALW: He had a mouthful of hot dogs.Fourvel: Yeah, awww god I wish I had a mouthful of hot dogs.ALW: I liked the cab driver who was a skeletonScott: Ah, yeah he was great. You know a bit of trivia about Slimer. His name actually wasnt Slimer.ALW: What was his name?Scott: They never calledALW: Joseph?Scott: It was Joseph! Yeah. And people he got the nickname Slimer because ah, I dont know if you noticed this in the movie but um, he actually emitted some sort of ah, slime off of his body which then would rub off on people.ALW: Well that explains the line that Bill Murray has when he encounters this ghost Slimer and is knocked down by the force of this little green goblin and when he arises from the floor, he is covered in slime, and he says out loud to the other actorsScott: Really?ALW: He slimed me!Fourvel: YeahScott: I dont remember that partFourvel: Its true.ALW: Maybe I dreamed it.
