as long as they were bankers.

Theatre impresario Andrew Lloyd Webber is offering free tickets to two of his West End musicals to bankers who have become unemployed in the credit crunch.

"Free tickets might offer some respite for some of those people who have sadly lost their jobs," the composer said.

Former bank employees can claim a pair of free tickets to The Sound of Music and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat until 15 October.

However, they will have to present a P45 issued after 1 September.

Tickets are also only available between Monday and Thursday and are subject to availability.

All claims must be made in person at the appropriate box office, according to a release issued by the Really Useful Company.

Lord Lloyd-Webber said he hoped his "feel-good shows" would cheer up those affected by the current financial downtown, "albeit for a couple of hours".

The Sound of Music is on at the London Palladium while Joseph continues at the Adelphi Theatre.

lucky bleeders I've heard great things about that play

no, not yet they haven't.
ah these bastards, for years they've been telling the government to abck off and allow them a free reign. and what do they do with that? fuck it up royally, and then go begging to the government for assistance to bail their incompetent, arrogant, fail-tastic asses out of it. wankers. and the worst thing? these bastards have stashed away their massive wages and bonuses with far more care than they have handled everyone elses money, so any of these people you see coming out, carrying their desk boxes and smiling? it's cos they can retire at 35.

Absolutely. West End musicals are too good for 'em!

back to back webber musicals for 2 weeks would possibly come near to a deserving punishment. without a bar at the intervals mind.
