Andrew Lloyd Webber reflects on 'season of goodbyes' after loss of son and closing of 'Phantom of the Opera.'
He said ticket costs are too expensive and theater conditions must improve, including wait times for restrooms during intermission, and said theater unions must help in the effort."It's hugely in their members' interests to ensure a healthy, vibrant Broadway. The way multiple union contracts drive up the costs of Broadway shows is unsustainable," he writes.
Broadway theaters took a major hit in March 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered their doors for months. Last year, many shows were still seeing a decrease in ticket sales and empty seats, , but Broadway League President Charlotte St. Martin said at the time"the rumors of our death are wildly exaggerated." "With the curtain now fallen in New York on the musical that has been the biggest of my career, I passionately pray that Broadway rediscovers the appetite for new scores and original work that made me so excited when I was, as Hal always called me, a kid," he writes., according to CBS New York.
"Nick, we love you very much," said Sarah Brightman, who originated the lead role Christine in 1986 and was married to Lloyd Webber from 1984-1990.
