Andrew Lloyd Webber, the famed composer behind musicals like Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar, is working on a video game for the Nintendo Wii.

Not much is known about the game other than that it will feature singing and dancing competitions set to the tune of Webber's music. It will feature 32 songs from Webber's library of music, as well as cameos from famous singers of his music like Donnie Osmond.

Look (or listen) out for the game on September 14.

    Should've just stuck to composing for a AAA game. A rhythm game featuring Donnie Osmond. I mean, who is this for?

    Isn't it a little too late in the game to get in? (for the Wii)

    Is it weird that the only reason I know who Andrew Loyd Webber is is because of the show, the Nanny?

    Singing and dancing to Donnie Osmond singing Andrew Lloyd Webber songs? It would seem the market for this game is... teenage gay and bi theater groups from the late 1970s?

    Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar And you live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly, music shall caress you Hear it, feel it secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind In this darkness that you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before Let your soul take you where you long to be Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night!!
