 This is one of the very few Andrew Lloyd Webber shows – and shows in general – that is an original story, not based on a previous source. The Beautiful Game opened in London on September 26, 2000 at the Cambridge Theatre. Find out more about the development of the musical. |
  There are two recordings of this show available so far. Read my reviews of the CDs.

  I really wanted to get to see this show before it closed in London, and I did – on the very final night! It was a special experience to be there for the closing, and it really made me want to see it again – so hopefully it will open again somewhere soon!Read more about my thoughts on the show. |
 I hadn’t really heard of anyone in this show before I bought the CD, but that turned out not to be a problem at all! Read a bit more about some of my favourites from the CD and the show I saw.
