Andrew Lloyd Webber's Mash-Up Of 'WAP' And 'Phantom Of The Opera' Is Both Cursed And A Bop

"WAP" is everywhere.

There are endless Tik Tok memes about it; there are already parodies and mash-ups. Everyone from Ben Schapiro to Carole Baskin have commented on the song, and Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's voices are everywhere.


Even Phantom Of The Opera composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is in on the action.



The beginning of the video sees Webber dancing to the bop, whereas the second half shows him striking the iconic organ chords from the opening number and from the title song of Phantom Of The Opera.

Somehow, it's both amazing and is making everybody extremely uncomfortable.







The video went viral almost immediately, and has already amassed some parody videos.


The original video has been shared over 27,000 times.






Webber, who also composed beloved shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Cats, has yet to try making a WAP-mashup with any of those shows.







Phantom Of The Opera ran from 1986-2020 on the West End, and is still in its original Broadway run in NYC, though technically the show is still dark due to the ongoing pandemic.

When it reopens, we are sure the actors will take the lessons of Phantom Of The WAPera on stage with them.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
