Lloyd Webber first collaborated with Paige in 1978 when she originated the role of Eva Perón in the world premiere of Evita, a role that earned her a Laurence Olivier Award for "Performance of the Year in a Musical." She went on to originate the role of Grizabella in Cats and had a Top 10 radio hit with her rendition of "Memory." She came to Broadway in 1996 to play the role of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.
The composer recently returned to Broadway with his newest musical School of Rock, now in performances at the Winter Garden Theatre. The show features original music, along with music from the hit 2003 film.
