“We are going to open, come hell or excessive water.” Asked what he would do if the Government postponed lifting the lockdown, he replied: “We will say: ‘come to the theatre and arrest us’.”


The composer insisted he had viewed scientific proof that theatres did not spread coronavirus and threatened felony motion towards the Government if the Prime Minister did not stick to his road map.


Cinderella, with an ensemble cast of 34, is solely commercially plausible if potential is dramatically lifted. Under cutting-edge laws, West End theatres can solely function at 50 per cent capacity.


“I’ve seen the science from the tests, don’t ask me how. They all show that theatres are absolutely safe, the virus is no longer carried there,” stated Lord Lloyd-Webber. “If the Government pass their personal science, we have the mother of all legal instances in opposition to them. If Cinderella couldn’t open, we’d go: ‘Look, either we go to regulation about it or you’ll have to compensate us’.”

A judge decides that preferential treatment was offered, but given the rush for PPE in the early days of the pandemic, PestFix and Ayanda Capital were likely to get contracts regardless. The use of a so-called VIP lane by the government to give PPE contracts to two businesses during the first COVID wave was illegal, according to the High Court. The challenge was brought by campaign groups the Good Law Project and EveryDoctor, who claimed that the bid procedure gave people with political ties unfair preferential treatment. They sued over contracts worth more than £340 million issued to pest control service PestFix in 2020, as well as a deal for roughly £252 million to hedge fund Ayanda Capital. The ruling adds to the pressure on Boris Johnson and his cabinet, which is dealing with a slew of sleaze claims, with Labour alleging a "pay for access" mentality within the Conservative Party.
