Andrew Lloyd Webber rejects PM's offer for Cinderella to be Covid pilot

The impresario had said he'd be willing to be arrested if Cinderella couldn't open to a full house.

"After rejecting the option to be one of the official pilot events, Lord Lloyd-Webber confirmed the show would open next week with a 50% capacity, the current legal limit.

If he did open with a full theatre, it "would be very likely that every member of my cast, crew and orchestra, the front and backstage staff, plus our loyal audience members, could be individually fined £500, which I couldn't possibly risk", he said.

"If it were just me, I would happily risk arrest and fines to make a stand and lead the live music and theatre industry back to the full capacities we so desperately need."

Shitebag. If he believed in it so strongly he could just pay all the fines.

He’s looking at it like a business man with zero regard for public health. Prick.

I see he's backed down

He's such a billy bullshitter drama queen: "I'm going to leave the UK if...", "I'm going to get myself arrested if..." then pisses his pants when it comes to doing it.

He is just another (like some on here) who claimed there would be hell on if the Government delayed 'freedom day', then when it happened did absolutely nothing about it. Like many, he talked a good game, but showed himself up when he was asked to back up his words with actions.

He wanted 100% capacity and was offered 100% capacity pilot, which he then rejected. And the thought of going ahead and reimbursing his employees £500 never entered his head. Must be a great boss to work for

Another shitbag millionaire who was actually more interested in the headlines than ever putting on his show at full capacity.

The great British Public has been saved by another lying coward backing down. Who'd have thought?
