Former Wicked star Shosana Bean has joined Ron Bohmer, Liz Callaway, David Josefsberg, Eric Kunze, and Laurie Gayle Stephenson in The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, to be directed by Tom Kosis at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater, December 23-January 4.

The show will include songs from Webber’s extensive oeuvre, including the musicals Cats, Evita, The Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, Jesus Christ Superstar, Song & Dance, Starlight Express, Aspects of Love, Whistle Down the Wind, The Beautiful Game, The Woman in White and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This new edition has been personally devised by Lloyd Webber, and will include the U.S. premiere of new music by the composer.

The presentation, which will feature a 30-piece onstage orchestra, will reunite the creative team behind the 2004 production at the Kennedy Center Opera House: musical supervisor and conductor Edward G. Robinson, lighting designer Brian Nason and sound designer Lucas J. Corrubia, Jr.
