Andrew Lloyd Webber: Professional career
He had a succession of hit shows in the 1970s and 1980s, in collaboration with lyricist
Tim Rice. Their first big success was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1968). Lloyd Webber and Rice continued to collaborate and later produced Jesus Christ Superstar
and Evita, both of which were released as albums before being brought to the stage. Subsequently, Lloyd Webber parted company with Rice and experimented with other lyricists on works such as Cats
, Starlight Express
, and The Phantom of the Opera, all of which ran for many years in London's West End and on Broadway.
Jesus Christ Superstar (1973),
Evita (1996), and most recently The Phantom of the Opera have been made into films.
His many other musical theatre works include Aspects of Love
, Sunset Boulevard
, Whistle Down the Wind
, Song and Dance
, and The Beautiful Game.
He has also composed for film. In 1984 he took a different music style and composed a requiem, in memory of his father who had died in 1982.
Lloyd Webber produced Bombay Dreams with Indian composer AR Rahman in 2002.
