ALW's Cinderella

Andrew Lloyd webber isn't exactly known for his tact. I can understand the cast being frustrated if he really did berate them previously when the New York Post review came out, and then the way the closing announcement was handled, and now hearing on closing night that it was all just a costly mistake to him. He has issued a statement where he says his comments were misinterpreted, but I think as a producer he really did mean it was a costly mistake. There’s no question the production lost money, but one can feel that way as a producer and still be proud of the work from a creative standpoint. Both can be true.

This whole thing has gone from bad to worse.

The original statement if people actually read it and listened to it in its entirety (and not simply tweeting out the "costly mistake" line out of context), it was clear ALW was talking about opening a new show when the pandemic was not quite over/restrictions not lifted, etc was whats turned into a "costly mistake."

But being read in this environment where some of the cast have just gone from being immature and unprofessional to deplorable and pathetic just added another duraflame log to an engulfed fire.

ALW's Cinderella

Unsurprising that those that are so fervently defending ALW are those with his shows in their user names and photos...

In no world is the curtain call of the final performance the place to say ANY of bringing the show to life was ANY sort of mistake. He couldn't do them the decency of attending the final performance, and used the opportunity to re-litigate all the factors that are causing it to close (except, notably, the mediocre reception of the material and the shut out of major awards). He's handled the whole thing appallingly. PR is still a thing, and he's terrible at it.

How much is ALW paying you to be his shill?
