I've been seeing different little things all over the internet about Andrew LLoyd Webber mentioning Love Never Dies at Sierra's final performance on Broadway, then Ramin and Sierra posted matching instagram pictures using Love Never Dies jokes, and some Broadway blogs are saying that the very early stages of it moving to broadway have all ready begun.
I know not many people enjoyed the story, but the music and the talent in the original London cast are worth paying to see even if you don't like the plot all that much.
Does anyone know anything about it possibly coming to Broadway? Has anyone else seen these little hints too?
Thank you for your opinion, he does look a little conceited, but we don't know him personally so who are we to judge. He still makes wonderful music, most of the time.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

LuPone was rather brutally fired from SUNSET BLVD. because she didn't get a good review in the Times from Frank Rich, and Lloyd Webber wanted a good review. She found out about being replaced by Glenn Close in Liz Smith's column, if I recall. (Or her agent did, and called her to tell her he'd read it in the Post.) Read her memoir. It's pretty hair-raising. Patti probably likes to exaggerate, but I don't think she's exaggerating on this one.
Oh and EL OH EL, by the time SUNSET BULLSH*TVARD had come to Broadway, Rich had stepped down from being drama critic, and the world has cried ever since. (I think Rich was an exemplary critic, and a damn better writer than the gentlemen we read today. Couldn't help but throw in my two cents.) So eat that, Andrew!
Didn't she say Lloyd Webber hates women? Only due to the fact that he writes roles too difficult for women to perform multiple times a week. It is pretty obvious what show she is talking about...

I'm not sure why he should be eating anything in regards to that. Glenn Close got wonderful reviews and the show did incredible business while she was in it. He just couldn't find a star of her caliber to keep that kind of business going once she left. And no, I do not think for one second that Patti would have been able to bring in the money to cover those monstrously high weekly running costs on Broadway, whether as the star who opened it or as a replacement.
