2006年12月3日,宗旨為『對藝術及美國文化有終身貢獻』的29th Kennedy Center Honors頒獎給名指揮家Zubin Mehta(祖賓梅塔)、美國鄉村歌后Dolly Parton(桃莉巴頓)、節奏藍調/靈魂樂翹楚Smokey Robinson、美國電影名導Steven Spielberg(史蒂芬史匹柏)及英國音樂劇大師Andrew Lloyd Webber(安德魯洛伊韋伯)。(維基百科有此獎項的介紹及歷屆得主)
安德魯洛伊韋伯的部份,由前妻莎拉布萊曼(Sarah Brightman)發表感人的演說,並且為簡介影片擔任旁白。
"He is forever testing himself, questioning and moving forward with his music. As soon as he has completed one project he is onto the next with all the love, enthusiasm and nervousness of a newcomer. When he is composing he only looks as if he's in the room with you. In reality, he is far, far away, in some exalted place where there is only him and the notes. But, when he comes back, he brings with him music that is exciting, moving and beautiful. He brings a vision that makes an unforgettable experience out of a story set to song. That is why tonight and every night, people around the world are going to see Andrew Lloyd Webber shows ... his music of the night is music for all time." (節錄自莎拉布萊曼的致敬辭)
現場的表演將韋伯創作的精華完美呈現,包含Corey Glover演出《萬世巨星Jesus Christ Superstar》中的 "Superstar",Christine Ebersole演唱 "As if We Never Said Goodbye" (選自《日落大道Sunset Boulevard》) , Elena Roger演唱選自《艾薇塔Evita》(電影版譯名《阿根廷別為我哭泣》)的 "Buenos Aires" ,跨界歌手Josh Groban(喬許葛洛班) 演唱讓韋伯落淚、選自《歌劇魅影The Phantom of the Opera》的經典名曲 “Music of the Night" ,《貓Cats》的原始卡司Betty Buckley演唱曠世經典 "Memory" ,同樣也是原始卡司的莎拉布萊曼也加入演唱。
以下影片第一段為莎拉的致詞及表演片段,第二段為喬許葛洛班演唱 “Music of the Night” 實況。

聽說《拜訪森林 Into the Woods》中的巫婆原本要由百老匯《貓》劇的女主角貝蒂巴克莉(Betty Buckley) 飾演,但好像因為桑坦認為Buckley把巫婆演得太「芭樂」了,於是將之開除。後來跟柏娜黛彼德斯(Bernadette Peters)聊天時,她答應演出,桑坦便在第二幕寫了〈最後的午夜〉(The Last Midnight)這首超難唱的歌給她,不過,她只演一下就換人了XD Memory我覺得還是DVD版本中的依蓮佩姬(Elaine Paige)最好聽。 另外就是,Webber臉上那是眼袋嗎...好恐怖喔XD
總覺得Josh Groban唱的沒有很好 韋伯哭也是哭他把我的歌唱那麼爛吧
