Lloyd Webber's Cat Ruins Phantom Sequel.... Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is going to have to rewrite parts of his Phantom Of The Opera musical follow-up from scratch after his pet cat ruined the score.

The British theatre mogul was creating the score for the much anticipated spectacular on his digital piano when kitten Otto leapt onto his desk and inadvertently wiped his composition.

Lloyd Webber tells the Bbc, "I was trying to write some new music, he got into the grand piano, jumped onto the computer and destroyed the entire score for the new Phantom in one fell swoop."

The composer is collaborating with fellow theatre impresario David Zippel and novelist Frederick Forsyth, who released a follow-up to the Phantom story in novel form, on the new production.
