The 2018 Emmy® Awards ended on a helluva high note for composer and producer Andrew Lloyd Webber who adds the title "EMMY" to his long list of accolades. He took home the 2018 Emmy® Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) category for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, which premiered on April 1st, and cleverly fell on Easter Sunday. This win puts him in a distinguished class of notable people who are known as 'EGOTS"(EMMY, GRAMMY, OSCAR, and TONY) winners.

In a statement, Lloyd Webber said, “I’m honored that the Television Academy recognized this wonderful production of Superstar. While I celebrate this award with my colleagues especially my dear friend Tim Rice, we would not be here without the guidance of Craig Zadan whose recent passing we continue to mourn.”

Lloyd Webber joins an esteemed list of people to EGOT, including iconic composers such as Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch, fellow Englishmen John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, and now Tim Rice and John Legend who both received Emmys tonight for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.
