Anyone who has seen Lady Gaga<\/a>\u2018s sprawling live show The Mayhem Ball<\/a> knows how theatrical Gaga manages to get on stage. Now, the superstar has won over another fan with her larger-than-life performance \u2014 musical theater legend Andrew Lloyd Webber<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a new video posted online, Webber gave his official review of The Mayhem Ball after seeing the show during its four-show run at London\u2019s O2 Arena two weeks ago, saying he loved the performance. \u201cI loved the Lady Gaga concert, it was really fabulous. She really knows how to handle an audience,\u201d the composer said in his video. \u201cIt was a great evening, it was so wonderful actually to see someone singing live rather than, as we know, some artists who are really miming to a pre-recorded track. And there was nothing of that there.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n After the video was posted, Gaga \u2014 who is a self-described lover of musical theater \u2014 saw and reacted to his video, posting a comment under the video expressing her admiration for Webber. Next to a crying emoji, Gaga simply wrote, \u201cthis is a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in his review, Webber pointed out that one particular moment in the show reminded him of one of his own shows \u2014 during The Mayhem Ball, Gaga boards a gilded gondola and is rowed down the stage, as she sings a gothic, operatic version of \u201cShallow.\u201d Webber couldn\u2019t help but draw comparisons between that moment and one of his most famous musicals, The Phantom of the Opera<\/em>, which also contains a famous scene involving a gothic gondola ride.<\/p>\n \u201cI 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,\u201d he said. \u201cIt reminded me of something that I might have had a little involvement with \u2026 But I thought the concert was absolutely fabulous, and I think Lady Gaga is absolutely a world superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Webber\u2019s full video praising Gaga\u2019s show below:<\/p>\n <\/a> Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
