Andrew Lloyd Webber's Speech Gets Boos at Final Performance of His 'Cinderella' Musical in London
Andrew Lloyd Webber is likely losing more fans with his latest comments.
The famed composer wrote the music for the West End show Cinderella, which has had a troubled run in London over the past year. Lloyd Webber pushed for the UK to reopen theaters in summer 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and then performances had to be suspended for a month just two days before the official opening due to a cast member testing positive.
Lloyd Webber received major criticism when the show announced its closing notice last month as many cast members, as well as incoming cast members, were not informed before the news went public.
At the show’s final performance on Sunday (June 12), Lloyd Webber did not show up, but had someone read a speech he wrote. One comment in the speech drew boos from the audience.
