But, I can reveal, a bizarre mishap means that it is likely to be longer than expected before it reaches the stage. Lloyd Webber, 59, was working on the score at his computerised grand piano when his six-month-old kitten Otto clambered into its frame and managed to delete everything he had written so far. The digital Clavinova piano has an inbuilt computer and the ability to play back thousands of songs from its memory. But Lloyd Webber was unable to recover his work from the high-tech instrument after Otto, a rare-breed Turkish Van, had done his worst. Says the composer: “I was trying to write some new music; Otto got into the grand piano, jumped onto the computer and destroyed the entire score for the new Phantom in one fell swoop.” Turkish Vans — also known as the swimming cats — cost up to ￡400 and it had long been Lloyd Webber’s ambition to own one. So he was delighted when the mischievous Otto joined him, his wife Madeleine and their children Alastair, 15, William, 13, and Bella, 11, at their palatial townhouse in Belgravia in January. Lloyd Webber, who is writing the Phantom sequel with thriller writer Frederick Forsyth, adds: “I’ve got to write another show soon or I’ll go mad. The most important thing is the plot, so I’ve been writing it with Freddie.” The musical — called Phantom In Manhattan — is set in 1901, 20 years after the original, and is based partly on a novel by Day Of The Jackal author Forsyth, in which the deformed Erik leaves Paris to seek his fortune in New York. Lloyd Webber and Forsyth have met several times in the past few weeks to discuss the plot, but Otto’s interference may affect their schedule. Lloyd Webber’s original musical has made ￡1.7 billion and has been seen by 80 million people since it opened in 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the lead roles. http://www.whatsonstage.com/index.php?pg=207&story=E8821199292457 --
