small-talk of the night.Andrew Lloyd Webber told BBC Radio 4 Friday that a government official bizarrely suggested that West End musicals come back “without any singing” to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.“I don’t know what’s going to be in the report on theater that’s coming out on Monday,” the Tony-winning composer, 72, said of next week’s announcement. “But I sincerely hope it doesn’t contain some of the things that I’ve seen in some of their advice — one of which was a brilliant one for musicals: that you’re not allowed to sing.”Group singing is considered by many scientists to be a dangerous activity, due to the large amount of heavy breathing and potentially infectious droplets it can cause.Knowing this, Lloyd Webber also.
