We’re all here and the family gathered here and I think it was the right place for all of us.”

The Oscar-winning composer wished his ‘Bad Cinderella’ cast the best of luck on opening night on Broadway, saying he was “absolutely disappointed” not to be there. “The reports I’m getting back from New York from the team there just goes to show that the show is in as good shape as it could be.” At the end of his post, Lloyd Webber added: “I’m going to see Nick in a minute. I’ll be passing on all the fantastic wishes I’ve received for him from all over the world.”
