TikTok users are enjoying the weird and wonderful mashup, with user @clt298 writing: "This isn't real. I'm amazed. This is beautiful." Meanwhile, @jackothejew commented: "Yea ima need a full version please chief."
When TikToker @bobsegerismydad called Lloyd Webber "the hero we needed AND the hero we deserved," the composer's team replied to the comment thanking the user.
When the video made the rounds on Twitter, though, not everyone was enamoured with the mix up.

We'll have to wait to find out if Lloyd Webber will ever create a full version of the mashup.
