All the stars were out for this concert celebrating Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 50th birthday at the Royal Albert Hall in London. In addition to being a retrospective of Lloyd Webber’s hits to date, it also featured many of the stars that premiered the songs or who helped to make them famous, including Elaine Paige, Michael Ball, Glenn Close, Boyzone, Donny Osmond, Julian Lloyd Webber, and Antonio Banderas (who had recently starred in the film of Evita). Sarah performed four songs during the two hour concert, which included “Pie Jesu” with Ben De’Ath, “The Phantom of the Opera” with Antonio Banderas, “All I Ask of You” with Michael Ball, and “The Music of the Night.”
