Some of Webber’s works, such as Cats and The Phantom of the Opera, hit the stages of Broadway and have stayed there for 20 years! Cats have exceeded 7,000 consecutive performances and The Phantom of the Opera 12,000. In 1992, Barcelona was treated to a song written by him, which became a big hit: Amigos para siempre (Friends for Life). However, Lloyd Webber’s musicals are not about numbers: they are exciting, they stir up our emotions, they make us laugh, cry, love, etc. They are art in their purest form. Through fantasy, they connect us with the world around us, because they’re always about human emotions, although sometimes the main stars are cats.
