Los Angeles, April 22 English composer of musicals Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber says he will not do part three of reality show 'Joseph: Any Dream Will Do' for BBC as he wants to devote his time and energy to write a new musical.Announcing that there would be no follow-up to 'Joseph', which came on the heels of 'How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?' last year, Webber said he wants to concentrate on writing a sequel to his hit musical 'Phantom Of The Opera'. He has tentatively titled it 'Phantom Of Broadway'.'I need to get back to writing. I want to throw myself into it. Over the Easter weekend I wrote the first song and I'm really pleased with it,' www.hollywood.tv quoted Webber as saying.Webber also has received offers from the US, where TV networks want him to stage a theatrical reality show, particularly his 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.'I'd love to do a search for Jesus, but the BBC couldn't do that. It's probably against editorial policy. I'd have to do it in the US,' said Webber.But making a series in Los Angeles is not for him.'I have told them I'll think about it, but only if it was in New York. Broadway is the heart of theatre in the US,' he said, adding that he doesn't want to make a long-term move to the US.'My kids are here and I wouldn't want to miss them growing up,' he explained.Meanwhile, he's already lined up 'Funny Girl' for Connie Fisher, last year's 'Maria' winner.'She'd be great,' he said. 'She's like Barbra Streisand in the way she moves, a bit awkward.' (c) Indo-Asian News Service
