Lady Gaga dubbed ‘world superstar’ by iconic composer who saw her live
Andrew Lloyd Webber is singing Lady Gaga's praises after recently catching a show on the pop star's current tour.
The legendary composer raved about Gaga after seeing one of her Mayhem Ball tour stops in London last week.
"I loved the Lady Gaga concert. It was really fabulous. She really knows how to handle an audience, and it was a great evening," Webber, 77, said in a TikTok video posted Oct. 10.
"It was so wonderful, actually, to see somebody really singing live rather than, as we know, some artists who are really miming to a pre-recorded track," the EGOT winner added. "Really fabulous live concert."
Webber, who scored "All I Ask of You" from "The Phantom of the Opera," was even more impressed with Gaga's references to the hit play.
"Of course, I was really, really pleased to see an opera house on stage and even more pleased to see a boat with her in it being rowed across the big auditorium that is O2," he said in the video.
"It reminded me of something that I might have had a little involvement with," Webber added. "But I thought the concert was absolutely fabulous, and I think Lady Gaga is absolutely a world superstar."
Gaga later responded to Webber's video with a crying emoji and commenting, "This is a dream come true."
Gaga's Mayhem Ball has received critical acclaim for its theatrical production that involves her transforming arenas into an opera house setting.
In a recent five-star review of one of Gaga's shows at the O2 in London, The Guardian called the tour "a glorious, ridiculous spectacle."
"Lady Gaga's eighth world tour, The Mayhem Ball, does not lack ambition," the outlet wrote, adding that the tour "is a full-blooded return to OTT camp, with a Nietzschean nemesis and a zombified crowd of fans driven berserk with glee."
After extending it earlier this year, Gaga will bring the Mayhem Ball tour to TD Garden in Boston for two nights in 2026. The show dates are March 29 and March 30. Information on where to find tickets can be found here .
