Andrew Lloyd Webber pens musical about what a twat he is

ANDREW Lloyd Webber’s new musical will tell the story of a billionaire who flies across an ocean to stop poor people getting tax credits.

Following the composer’s shows about misunderstood political figures Eva Peron, Jesus Christ and Bustopher Jones the Cat About Town, Wings of a Lord will follow his dramatic mission from New York to London to vote for government cuts.

In the story, democracy is overthrown by the grey-skinned Corbynites and Lloyd Webber is forced to lead a millionaire revolution. It ends with him standing with bra-clad heroine Michelle Mone in the blackened remains of London, Conservatism having prevailed.

Director Julian Cook said: “There’s a cast of thousands, mainly ragged beggars scuttling just out of the spotlight, and the three disciplines of dance, song and performance really create a vivid impression of what a painstakingly thorough twat Andrew Lloyd Webber really is.

“Sorry, I meant Baron Lloyd-Webber.”

Your astrological week ahead, with Psychic Bob

Libra (23 SEP-23 OCT)
This week you go on an impulsive trip to the Isle of Wight, because you’ve been drunk on aeroplanes, cruise ships, trains and even hot air balloons but never a hovercraft.

Scorpio (24 OCT-21 NOV)
Sorry, your basic Family Zodiac package doesn’t include adult signs like Scorpio. Would you like to unlock them for £13.99?

Sagittarius (22 NOV-21 DEC)
You’ve tried treating your insomnia by cutting out caffeine and taking your iPad out of the bedroom but if that doesn’t work it might be time to knock the amphetamines on the head.

Capricorn (22 DEC-19 JAN)
On Saturday you go trick-or-treating dressed as Death to remote, isolated houses occupied by elderly people living alone, because it’s a shame they miss out on all the fun. 

Aquarius (20 JAN-19 FEB)
Sunday’s morning Quidditch game sees you swallow the Golden Snitch and disembowelled by feral, magic-crazed children wielding broomsticks. I know, again. 

Pisces (20 FEB-20 MAR)
On Thursday you finally call your mother. You’ve no idea why everyone was going on at you to do it for so long, it’s pretty shit. 

Aries (21 MAR-19 APRIL)

On Monday, your loan presentation to run a gallery displaying amateur paintings of celebrities fails when you say the phrase ‘Fan naif art’ out loud for the first time.
