| He wasn't there, but the director, Laurence Connor, read a letter from him that said, in part, "My huge thanks to everyone. We kept the government’s feet to the flames and led the charge to the West End opening again,..It might have been a costly mistake, but I am proud of what we did and will forever be grateful to everyone who supported me.” The story goes on to say, "The recitation of 'costly mistake' spawned murmurs among the audience and looks of visible confusion from the production’s ensemble as they stood on stage. “‘Cinderella’ got some of the best reviews of my career and I am immensely proud of it and it’s hugely due to you all. All my love, Andrew,' Webber’s statement concluded. After a brief pause, a score of jeers engulfed the auditorium. Notably, Webber’s name had already been booed earlier in the curtain call, following Connor’s announcement that the composer had sent a letter in lieu of his attendance." |
