Webber 'offers Boyle West End role'

Andrew Lloyd Webber has offered Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle a part in one of his musicals.

The composer, currently in Moscow ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest, admitted that he already has an idea of a role Boyle could play.

"She is a terrific sport and she's a great fan of my shows," he told The Sun.

"If she wanted to be in one, well it could happen. It would have to be the right role. Maybe I know what it could be, but I'm not telling. She's got a great future."

According to reports, Boyle is being considered for the lead role of Eva Peron in Evita, previously played by the 48-year-old's idol Elaine Paige.

Boyle recently emerged as odds-on favourite to win this year's Britain's Got Talent, with betting giant William Hill giving her odds of 4/6.
