In addition to The Phantom of the Opera, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary on Broadway, Lloyd Webber is currently represented in New York with School of Rock. He was honored at the Grammy Awards last month with a performance of the Evita anthem "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" by its Tony-winning star, Patti LuPone.
Doyle most recently directed the world premiere of Fire and Air; the ballet-focused Terrence McNally drama runs through February 25 at Off-Broadway's Classic Stage Company.
