Minimizing Webber's role in School of Rock

Posted by: Zelgo 09:18 am EST 11/02/15

It's interesting to me that the School of Rock advertising barely mentions Webber's role in School of Rock.

Do producers feel his name is no longer a draw?

Baron Lloyd-Webber hasn't had a hit in New York since Phantom (1988). Even Broadway revivals of his old hits don't make money any more.

Perhaps, as Noel Coward suggested (in another context), for New York productions at least, His Lordship should have his name at the end of the credits, in a box, and preceded by the word "but."

On a story on the news this morning, ALW flew back to London to, among other things, vite in the House of Lords to eliminate tax credits for the working poor.
