Andrew Lloyd Webber, renowned for his musical compositions, also owns several theatres in London's West End. He has long coveted the Mark Hellinger Theatre in New York City, now a church but historically significant for musicals. Webber believes it has the best stage on Broadway and has entertained discussions with billionaire Steve Schwarzman about acquiring it. Their conversations illustrate the interest and value placed on this esteemed Broadway venue, showcasing Webber's ambition to expand his influence into American theatre.
"It has the best stage on Broadway," Lloyd Webber exclusively told The Post during a sit-down. "It was the premier house, really, for musicals."
"Funnily enough, a few years ago I had dinner with Steve Schwarzman, and I said, 'If anybody could buy it, it would be Steve Schwarzman.'"
"Of course we can! Of course we can!,'", he recalls the confident Schwarzman insisting."
"I said, 'Look, OK, you buy it. I'm in as a partner with you. Go and buy it.'"
