yuppp! lots of other things.
he’s really just… super opportunistic, at the expense of his own work? and his treatment of the Leroux family is really probably the #1 reason I dislike him. he won’t pay them ANY royalties because the de mattos translation is in public domain, and has gone as far as insulting Leroux’s novel despite it being the source that basically helped him make his fortune. and he HAS an enormous fortune, paying some royalties to the Leroux estate would not force him to give up anything, really. last I knew, the Leroux family really disliked him, and that’s why for a long time, Phantom wasn’t performed in France. the source material was still protected over there.
I have NO idea what agreement happened to allow the ill-fated Mogador show to be allowed, and if anyone does know, I would be interested.
I don’t have time right now to talk about all of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s shitty things, so I’ll tag this and feel free to reblog with why YOU, personally, hate Andrew Lloyd Webber!
Why do people hate Andrew Lloyd Webber? I can understand the Patti LuPone thing, but anything else?
