Unmasked: A Memoir by Andrew Lloyd Webber

funny informative fast-paced

4.0

Filled to the brim with anecdotes I hadn't heard, which delighted me as someone who thought I knew it all. Most interesting though is when he talks about his own work, in particular his preoccupations with time signatures and orchestrations, which is really useful for understanding his work. He has an undoubtedly wry and funny tone, though his callousness around his treatment of his first wife is a little jarring. Then again, I'm not sure what else one can expect from an autobiography. Biggest takeaway however: my god does this man love cats.
