Kathy Burke, legendary actor and all-round hero, has left theatre impresario Andrew Lloyd-Webber wishing for a Technicolor dreamcoat to help him out.
However, before we go on we must always stop and remember her comment to posh actor Helena Bonham-Carter, who moaned about being posh.
It was a legendary, and brutal, comeback.
Lloyd-Webber
Who can forget when the Tories flew back Andrew Lloyd-Webber from New York to prop up government vote on tax credits. Lovely fella…
It was claimed that Lloyd Webber, ennobled as a life peer in 1997 and who last voted in 2013 for the same sex marriage bill, flew first class back to London in time for the crucial vote on the Chancellor’s tax credit reductions.
A spokesperson for Lloyd Webber said the peer had travelled to London “at his own expense to attend the opening night of Cats”.
Lloyd Webber is worth an estimated £650 million by the way.
Now he has said that making shows these days would get him cancelled. If anyone has been to see Cats, that it not such a bad thing.
Webber said: “If I were to be doing Evita today a lot of people would say ‘He’s not qualified to do this because he’s not Argentine. This is staggering.
“There was a subject I really wanted to do but everybody was saying to me: You can’t, because you’re not from that country.
That means most shows and operas would not be allowed today because the composer is a different nationality to the subject.”
Kathy Burke
Well, did she have to say about that then?!
Here she goes tweeting: “The darkness of the music of the right.”
