Bill Smiley: Score one for political correctness.

Score one for political correctness.

You can’t plagiarize Pink Floyd anymore, because of Woke

If Roger Waters ever reads this, his head will literally explode. Please, someone find a way for Roger Waters to read this!

I once got the opportunity to ask Douglas Adams what should be written on ALW’s grave. And he replied: “Today’s date.” :D

You couldn’t make Phantom of the Opera III today, because it’s a shitty idea and nobody even liked Phantom of the Opera II

Can’t even show cat buttholes anymore, because of woke

You couldn't make Cats these days because people would call it "extremely sus" and "creepy as fuck"

That's "Creepy AF", boomer.

"I had the whole thing typed up and everything, Webber exclaims with a single tear rolling from his one good eye, it was a musical about the Black and White Minstrels told from the perspective of a middle-class skinhead from Cheltenham. It was called 'Oi! Mammy' and it would have been brilliant."

I just coughed my breakfast back up in the plate. Goddamn

If the musicals dry up, at least he'll still be able to live off the residuals from his time in Stingray

Really?

Lol, really what?

It’s like you can’t even write a musical about a creepy basement genius who grooms a mousy diva from childhood and blackmails an opera house with murderous threats. Woke!

Political correctness? What century is this? All the "cool" conservatives complain about wokeness!

Has anyone ever complained about the content of one of his shows?

I think most people's reaction to Andrew Lloyd Webber is "he's still alive?"

Not if they just see him. Then it's "why is that corpse in here?"

Yes, me. It’s shit!

Oh lol I was asking for that and they are fucking horrendous

The only thing I know about ALW is that he 1) apparently plagiarized Pink Floyd and 2) that he is indirectly responsible for the Cats movie, so fuck him.

At least the Cats movie can be laughed at. You don't know torture.until your little brother watches the live show on VHS twice a day for months

The Cats rifftrax was good!

Did we have the same brother?

My condolences, that must be HELL

He also flew halfway across the world to stop benefits for disabled & vulnerable people. All whilst being a massive tax-dodging cunt himself. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Andrew Lloyd Webber flew in from New York in failed attempt to prop up government tax credit votewww.independent.co.uk Chancellor George Osborne's plan to reduce tax credits was defeated by the House of Lords

"Cunt" is the right term for this man, yes

He is also, if I'm not being politically incorrect here, a complete tool.

Don’t cry for Andrew Lloyd Webber, the truth is he’s just protecting democracywww.theguardian.com What was it that made the multimillionaire composer rush back to Parliament from New York to vote in favour of tax credit cuts? Principles, of course!

What a cunt

The site is paywalled for me, but I think I understand the gist of it.

Did you know he's one of five living billionaire musicians, along with Paul McCartney, Rihanna, Jay Z, and Sean Combs?

there is no god

Six, if you include Taylor Swift www.forbes.com/sites/monica...

Taylor Swift Didn’t Need Lucrative Side Hustles To Become A Billionairewww.forbes.com Taylor Swift is officially on Forbes' World's Billionaires List. But what sets the 34-year-old artist apart from other musicians is how she earned her billion-dollar fortune.

No, but I do know now!

Check what he did to the new Cinderella cast when they'd just signed their contracts (oh and flying back from new york just to vote to cut tax credits for the poor). Fuck him.

Could you link an article or some other information on the Cinderella thing? I can't really find anything. Not that I don't believe you!

Jesus Christ Superstar was pretty great Mind you I was a teenager when I saw it in the 70s

I walked out of Phantom of the Opera because it was so awful

I didn't walk in for the same reason

I should have known better! It was a trip organised by my sixth form, and there were so many complaints about how awful it was that we all got to go and see a different play at the same theatre for free

Hahaha, nice

It was the only show my friend would agree to see on Broadway from the last minute ticket place. I willed my body with all my power to sleep but it resisted me entirely, so I had to remain awake throughout the Whole Damn Thing.

I fell asleep several times during it.

This was, if anything, worse than the standard version, because it was the regular musical but on ice. In a regular theatre somehow. It’s was cold, and boring and awful.

OMG, I had no idea such a thing existed.
