Gestroop en rou. Waar begin en eindig drome? Wat doen jy wanneer die kleure van jou lewensjas begin verander? Sedert Phantom of the Opera is daar ‘n persepsie dat André Schwartz en Andrew Lloyd Webber vriende is. Die storielyn is ‘n narratief wat hierdie interaksie deur musiek en gesprek benut. In Any Dream Will Do – My pad met Webber, ondersoek Schwartz sy verhouding met alles wat Andrew Lloyd Webber is — ’n verhouding wat begin het toe hy op 12-jarige ouderdom vir die eerste keer met Andrew se werk kennis gemaak het, toe hy Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat gesien het. In hierdie produksie, met maestro Bryan Schimmel op klavier, bring André Schwartz wonderlike vertolkings uit die Lloyd-Webber-musiekblyspele soos Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Joseph and the Amzing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Evita, Aspects of Love en vele meer.

Die produksie word aangebied met die vriendelike samewerking van Ambassador Execudrive, BluBlood, Britz Couriers & Removals, Emperors Palace, Feeste.net, Hollywood Costumes, LTickets, Lift Airlines, Mannah Gastehuis en Konferensiesentrum, Mobilis Auto, RSG en Van Loveren Wyne.

André Schwartz se gevierde en veelsydige loopbaan sluit in musiek, teater, televisie en die besigheidswêreld. Gebore en getoë in Johannesburg, het hy sy televisiedebuut op veertien gemaak en is klassiek opgelei as beide sanger en pianis, ’n basis wat sy veelsydige loopbaan in gewilde Afrikaanse musiek, musiekteater en die uitsaaimedia ondersteun. Oor etlike dekades het Schwartz talle albums vrygestel – waarvan baie goue status behaal het – met geliefde treffers soos Ek wil jou nooit weer sien, Lief vir alles hier en Ritme deur die nag, en het onder andere saam met ikone soos Yvonne Chaka Chaka gewerk.

As ‘n vooraanstaande verhoogkunstenaar het hy in groot musiekproduksies gespeel, insluitend Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Pirates of Penzance en natuurlik The Phantom of the Opera, en lof ontvang. Andrew Lloyd Webber het self Andrè se uitbeelding van die Phantom geprys en gesê dat dit een van die beste vertolkings van die Phantom in die wêreld was. Benewens musiek en teater, het hy op televisie verskyn (insluitend reekse soos Sterlopers en 7de Laan), talle leefstylprogramme aangebied en aan realiteitsformate deelgeneem. Sy 2019-album Die Pad weerspieël sy persoonlike reis en groei as kunstenaar, en hy inspireer steeds gehore met sy passie, veerkragtigheid en kreatiewe visie. Hy is tans te sien in Frans Swart se huldeblykproduksie aan Ge Korsten, Gè Sing – Hoor My Lied.

Deur ikoniese liedjies soos Any Dream Will Do, You Must Love Me, Music of the Night, Memory en Pie Jesu verweef hy hierdie musiek met sy eie lewensverhaal in Any Dream Will Do – My Pad met Webber. Die vertoning neem gehore op ’n eerlike, emosionele reis vol humor, hoop en moeilike waarhede — sonder opsmuk of groot vertoon. Die liedjies word eenvoudig en oop aangebied, presies soos die storie wat vertel word. Soms is dit lig en snaaks, soms rou en seer, maar altyd opreg. Dit is nie net ’n nostalgiese musiekkonsert nie, maar ’n persoonlike teaterervaring wat mense nader trek en lank ná die laaste noot bly saampraat.

André word begelei deur vooraanstaande musiekregisseur, maestro Bryan Schimmel, wat op sigself ’n ervaring is. Kom geniet die onsterflike musiek van Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Stripped and raw. Where do dreams begin and where do they end? What do you do when the colours of your life’s coat start to change? Since Phantom of the Opera, there has been a perception that André Schwartz and Andrew Lloyd Webber are friends. The storyline is a narrative that exploits this interaction through music and conversation. In Any Dream Will Do – My Pad met Webber, Schwartz explores his relationship with everything that is Andrew Lloyd Webber — a relationship that began when he was first introduced to Andrew’s work at the age of 12, when he saw Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Get your tickets now for Any Dream Will Do – My Pad met Webber at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace on Sunday, 15 March at three o’clock at www.LTickets.co.za, 011 815 3000 or at www.lefra.com.

André Schwartz’s celebrated and multifaceted career spans music, theatre, television, and the business world. Born and raised in Johannesburg, he made his television debut at fourteen and was classically trained as both a singer and pianist, a foundation that has supported his multifaceted career in popular Afrikaans music, musical theatre and broadcast media. Over several decades, Schwartz has released numerous albums – many of which have achieved gold status – with beloved hits such as Ek wil jou nooit weer sien, Lief vir alles hier and Ritme deur die nag, and has worked with icons such as Yvonne Chaka Chaka, among others.

As a leading stage artist, he has starred in major musical productions, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Pirates of Penzance and of course The Phantom of the Opera, to critical acclaim. Andrew Lloyd Webber himself praised his portrayal of the Phantom. In addition to music and theatre, he has appeared on television (including series such as Sterlopers and 7de Laan), hosted numerous lifestyle and reality shows. His 2019 album Die Pad reflects his personal journey and growth as an artist, and he continues to inspire audiences with his passion, resilience and creative vision.

Through iconic songs such as Any Dream Will Do, You Must Love Me, Music of the Night, Memory and Pie Jesu, he weaves this music with his own life story in Any Dream Will Do – My Pad met Webber. The show takes the audience on an honest, emotional journey full of humour, hope and difficult truths — without pomp or grandeur. The songs are presented simply and openly, exactly like the story being told. Sometimes it is light and funny, sometimes raw and painful, but always sincere. This is not a nostalgic music concert, but a personal theatrical experience that draws people closer and keeps them talking long after the last note.

André is accompanied by leading music director, maestro Bryan Schimmel, which is an experience in itself. Come enjoy the immortal music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
