Andrew Lloyd Webber (b. 1948) is the well-nigh successful composer of musicals of his multiplication and also a ledgeman of molds for the type. His predecessors were for the most part American: New York-based songwriters steeped in Broadway tradition. Lloyd Webber proverb his ploughshare of shows as a child, as well, but he was born in London, the son of William Lloyd Webber, Director of the London College of Music, and was trained at the Royal Academy of Music, just the sort of space where you'd be probable to hear OK!
All the same, Lloyd Webber aquiline up with lyricist Tim Rice, and the two began work on what would be a typical project for them, a musical based on the Biblical narrative of Joseph and his coat of many colors. Titled Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, it brought in a potent rock & cast influence. After writing a second unproduced melodious, the deuce hit on the idea of committal to writing a musical based on the life of Jesus Christ from the point of sentiment of Judas (not the sort of idea probable to come to a Broadway composer) and, again, imbued with rock 'n' roll. Unable to finance a stage version, Lloyd Webber and Rice did oversee to record their show, and Christ Christ Superstar went on to gross sales in the millions all over the world. The hit musical version followed.
Harold Clayton Lloyd Webber and Rice then split, with the composer writing film stacks and working on an unsuccessful musical with playwright Alan Ayckbourne (Jeeves), after which Rice returned with some other venturesome approximation: a musical based on the life of Argentine potentate (or dictator's wife, depending on how you look at it) Eva Peron. Evita (1976) recurrent the form of Christ Christ Superstar, with its hit record album followed by a successful theatrical run in the West End and then on Broadway.
The Lloyd Webber-Rice partnership, having proved itself once more, was cut off (Rice went on to pen Chess game), and Lloyd Webber next wrote a musical revue based on T.S. Eliot's impulsive poems virtually Cats (1981). This sentence the show came earlier the album, and it's tranquil running. By this sentence, Lloyd Webber had largely abandoned the rock elements of his work in favor of what critics launch a pastiche vogue that borrowed from classic and opera sources. He had too become a brand name (and a corp, the Really Useful Company) that assured at least a modest success for subsequent shows, though critics were frequently unimpressed with his efforts.
Downgrading the status of his lyricists, Lloyd Webber went on to a series of successful shows (Song and Dance, Starlight Express) in front marking another long (and tranquil) running rack up in 1987 (1988 in New York) with a musical adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. Aspects of Love (1989-1990) was less successful, however. Lloyd Webber debuted a musical adaptation of the Billy Wilder plastic film Sunset Boulevard in the early '90s and it proved to be one of his rare disappointments, weakness to make either well reviews or healthy ticket gross revenue. In 1996, Alan Parker altered Evita for the screen; Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice contributed a new song, "You Must Love Me," to the production, which asterisked Madonna. "You Must Love Me" won the Best Original Song accolade at the 1997 Academy Awards.
