Andrew Lloyd Webber wanted his dog to be recognised as a therapy animal due to the “trauma” of the ‘Cats’ movie.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Andrew Lloyd Webber thought Cats was terrible<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old composer’s friend Glenn Close<\/a> suggested he adopt a canine companion to give him a boost after he was left upset by Tom Hooper’s 2019 star-studded big screen take on his legendary musical, and airline staff didn’t even require medical evidence when he asked to take his pet on a plane with him.<\/p>\n

He told the Sunday Times’ Culture magazine: \u201cI applied for Mojito to be my therapy dog so I could take him on American Airlines.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said the reason for taking him on the plane was trauma due to the ‘Cats’ movie, and they came back saying: \u2018No doctor\u2019s certificate required.\u2019 “<\/p>\n

Andrew admitted the movie was “terrible” and claimed stars of the film were very “unhappy” about it too.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: “It was terrible. Thank God I was not closely involved. <\/p>\n

\n“Most people who were found it the most unhappy experience. Taylor Swift, Judi Dench \u2026 All of them called me and said, \u2018What are we going to do?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWhile Andrew believes it is understandable that theatre tickets can be incredibly expensive, he blasted the use of dynamic pricing, branding the practice – which sees prices escalate in response to demand “racketeering”.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: \u201cThe answer to people who say theatre prices are high is that we are very labour-intensive. Also, you see the new generation chucking their money at Taylor Swift and they don\u2019t seem over worried about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAsked about using dynamic pricing, her added: \u201cI don\u2019t think theatres should be in the business of trying to push prices up. <\/p>\n

\n“You need to break even, but I don\u2019t like making theatre inaccessible. I hate it. <\/p>\n

\n“Dynamic pricing is racketeering, really \u2014 it\u2019s completely wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
