Early on life [edit]
Lloyd Webber studied at the Purple Higher of Music in London. In 2014, he was honoured for his "contribution to musical life" with an honorary doctorate from the college.[13]
Andrew Lloyd Webber was born in Kensington, London, the elder son of William Lloyd Webber (1914–1982), a composer and organist, and Jean Hermione Johnstone (1921–1993), a violinist and pianist.[xiv] His younger brother, Julian Lloyd Webber, is a world-renowned solo cellist.[fifteen]
Lloyd Webber started writing his own music at a young historic period: a suite of vi pieces at the age of 9.[xvi] He also put on "productions" with Julian and his Aunt Viola in his toy theatre (which he built at Viola's proffer). His aunt Viola, an actress, took him to see many of her shows and through the stage door into the world of the theatre. His father enrolled him as a role-time student at the Eric Gilder School of Music in the spring of 1963.[17] At this time he was working on a Genghis Khan musical called Westonia!, and he had too set music to Old Possum'south Book of Practical Cats.
In 1965, Lloyd Webber was a Queen'south Scholar at Westminster School and studied history for a term at Magdalen College, Oxford, although he abandoned the course in the winter of 1965 to study at the Purple College of Music and pursue his interest in musical theatre.[18] [xix]
Professional career [edit]
Early years [edit]
In 1965, when Lloyd Webber was a 17-year-old budding musical-theatre composer, he was introduced to the xx-year-former aspiring pop-song writer Tim Rice.[20] [21] Their kickoff collaboration was The Likes of The states, a musical based on the true story of Thomas John Barnardo. They produced a demo record of that piece of work in 1966,[20] but the project failed to gain a backer.[21]
Although equanimous in 1965, The Likes of Usa was not publicly performed until 2005, when a production was staged at Lloyd Webber'southward Sydmonton Festival. In 2008, apprentice rights were released by the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) in association with the Actually Useful Grouping. The first amateur performance was past a children's theatre grouping in Cornwall chosen "Kidz R U.s.a.". Stylistically, The Likes of Us is fashioned afterward the Broadway musical of the 1940s and 1950s; it opens with a traditional overture comprising a medley of tunes from the bear witness, and the score reflects some of Lloyd Webber'due south early on influences, particularly Richard Rodgers, Frederick Loewe, and Lionel Bart. In this respect, it is markedly dissimilar from the composer'southward subsequently work, which tends to be either predominantly or wholly through-composed, and closer in form to opera than to the Broadway musical.
In the summer of 1967, Alan Doggett, a family friend of the Lloyd Webbers who had assisted on The Likes of Us and who was the music teacher at the Colet Court school in London, commissioned Lloyd Webber and Rice to write a piece for the school's choir.[twenty] [21] [22] Doggett requested a "pop cantata" along the lines of Herbert Chappell'south The Daniel Jazz (1963) and Michael Hurd's Jonah-Human Jazz (1966), both of which had been published by Novello and were based on the Old Testament.[20] The request for the new piece came with a 100-guinea accelerate from Novello.[20] This resulted in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, in which Lloyd Webber and Rice humorously pastiched a number of pop-music styles such as Elvis-style rock'n'roll, Calypso and country music. Joseph began life every bit a brusque cantata that gained some recognition on its second staging with a favourable review in The Times. For its subsequent performances, Rice and Lloyd Webber revised the show and added new songs to expand it to a more than substantial length. Connected expansion eventually culminated in a 1972 stage musical and then a two-60 minutes-long production being staged in the W End in 1973 on the dorsum of the success of Jesus Christ Superstar.[23]
In 1969, Rice and Lloyd Webber wrote a song for the Eurovision Song Contest called "Try It and See", which was not selected. With rewritten lyrics information technology became "King Herod'south Song" in their third musical, Jesus Christ Superstar (1970). The planned follow-upwardly to Jesus Christ Superstar was a musical comedy based on the Jeeves and Wooster novels by P. G. Wodehouse. Tim Rice was uncertain almost this venture, partly because of his concern that he might not be able to exercise justice to the novels that he and Lloyd Webber so admired.[24] Rice backed out of the project and Lloyd Webber afterwards wrote the musical Jeeves with Alan Ayckbourn, who provided the volume and lyrics.[25] Jeeves failed to make any impact at the box role and closed after a run of but 38 performances in the West Cease in 1975.[26] Many years subsequently, Lloyd Webber and Ayckbourn revisited this project, producing a thoroughly reworked and more successful version entitled By Jeeves (1996).
Mid-1970s [edit]
Evita at the Westward End'due south Adelphi Theatre. Lloyd Webber purchased the theatre in 1993. The 1998 video of Lloyd Webber'south Cats was filmed at the venue.
Lloyd Webber collaborated with Rice one time again to write Evita (1978 in London/1979 in U.S.), a musical based on the life of Eva Perón. As with Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita was released first as a concept album (1976) and featured Julie Covington singing the function of Eva Perón. The song "Don't Weep for Me Argentina" became a hit single and the musical was staged at the West End'southward Prince Edward Theatre in a production directed by Harold Prince and starring Elaine Paige in the title role.[27]
Patti LuPone created the role of Eva on Broadway for which she won a Tony. Evita was a highly successful show that ran for ten years in the West Cease. It transferred to Broadway in 1979. Rice and Lloyd Webber parted ways before long after Evita, although they accept sporadically worked together in the years that followed.[28]
In 1978, Lloyd Webber embarked on a solo project, the Variations, with his cellist brother Julian based on the 24th Caprice by Paganini, which reached number ii in the pop album nautical chart in the Uk. The main theme was used as the theme tune for ITV's long-running South Bank Bear witness throughout its 32-year run. The same year, Lloyd Webber also composed a new theme tune for the long-running documentary serial Whicker's Globe, which was used from 1978 to 1980.
1980s [edit]
Lloyd Webber was the subject of This Is Your Life in Nov 1980 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews in the foyer of Thames Television's Euston Route Studios in London.[29] He would be honoured a second time by the television programme in November 1994 when Michael Aspel surprised him at the Westward End's Adelphi Theatre.[30]
Lloyd Webber embarked on his side by side project without a lyricist, turning instead to the poetry of T. Due south. Eliot. Cats (1981) was to become the longest running musical in London, where information technology ran for 21 years before closing. On Broadway, Cats ran for eighteen years, a record which would ultimately exist broken by another Lloyd Webber musical, The Phantom of the Opera.[31] [32] Elaine Paige collaborated over again with Lloyd Webber, originating the role of Grizabella in Cats, and had a Top ten U.k. hitting with "Memory".[33]
Starlight Express (1984) was a commercial hit, but received negative reviews from the critics. It ran for seven,409 performances in London, making it the ninth longest-running West Cease show. It ran for less than two years on Broadway. The show has also seen two tours of the Usa, every bit well equally an Australian/Japanese product, a three-year UK touring production, which transferred to New Zealand later in 2009. The show also runs full-time in a custom-congenital theatre in Bochum, Germany, where it has been running since 1988.[34]
Lloyd Webber wrote a Requiem Mass dedicated to his father, William, who had died in 1982. Information technology premiered at St. Thomas Church in New York on 24 February 1985. Church building music had been a function of the composer's upbringing and the composition was inspired by an article he had read most the plight of Cambodian orphans. Lloyd Webber had on a number of occasions written sacred music for the annual Sydmonton Festival.[35] Lloyd Webber received a Grammy Award in 1986 for Requiem in the category of all-time classical composition. Pie Jesu from Requiem accomplished a high placing on the Great britain singles chart. Perchance because of its large orchestration, live performances of the Requiem are rare.
In 1986, Prince Edward, the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth 2, deputed a short musical from Lloyd Webber and Rice for his mother's 60th birthday celebration.[36] Cricket (1986), besides called Cricket (Hearts and Wickets), reunited Lloyd Webber with Rice to create this short musical for the Queen's altogether, showtime performed at Windsor Castle.[37] [38] Several of the tunes were later on used for Aspects of Love and Sunset Boulevard.
Lloyd Webber premiered The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre in the West End in 1986, inspired by the 1911 Gaston Leroux novel. He wrote the part of Christine for his then-wife, Sarah Brightman, who played the role in the original London and Broadway productions alongside Michael Crawford as the Phantom. The production was directed by Harold Prince, who had too earlier directed Evita. Charles Hart wrote the lyrics for Phantom with some additional material provided by Richard Stilgoe, with whom Lloyd Webber co-wrote the book of the musical. It became a hit and is still running in both the West End and on Broadway; in January 2006 information technology overtook Lloyd Webber's Cats equally the longest running show on Broadway. On 11 February 2012, Phantom of the Opera played its 10,000th show on Broadway.[32] With over 13,400 London productions information technology is the second longest-running West Finish musical.[39]
Aspects of Love followed in 1989, a musical based on the story past David Garnett. The lyrics were by Don Black and Charles Hart and the original production was directed by Trevor Nunn. Aspects had a run of four years in London, but closed after less than a yr on Broadway. Information technology has since gone on a bout of the UK. It is famous for the song "Honey Changes Everything", which was performed by Michael Brawl in both the Due west End and Broadway casts. It stayed in the UK singles nautical chart for 14 weeks, peaking at number two and becoming Ball'due south signature tune.[40]
1990s [edit]
Lloyd Webber was asked to write a song for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and composed "Amigos Para Siempre — Friends for Life" with Don Black providing the lyrics. This song was performed by Sarah Brightman and José Carreras.
Lloyd Webber had toyed with the idea of writing a musical based on Billy Wilder's critically acclaimed picture, Sunset Boulevard, since the early 1970s when he saw the film, only the projection didn't come up to fruition until after the completion of Aspects of Honey when the composer finally managed to secure the rights from Paramount Pictures,[41] The composer worked with ii collaborators, as he had done on Aspects of Beloved; this time Christopher Hampton and Don Blackness shared equal credit for the book and lyrics. Sunset Boulevard opened at the Adelphi Theatre in London on 12 July 1993, and ran for ane,529 performances.[42] In spite of the show's popularity and all-encompassing run in London's West Finish, it lost money due to the sheer expense of the production.
In 1994, Sunset Boulevard became a successful Broadway evidence, opening with the largest advance in Broadway history, and winning 7 Tony Awards that yr. Fifty-fifty and then, past its closing in 1997, "information technology had non recouped its reported $13 million investment."[43] From 1995 to 2000, Lloyd Webber wrote the Matters of Gustation column in The Daily Telegraph where he reviewed restaurants and hotels, and these were illustrated by Lucinda Rogers.[44]

Originally opening in Washington, Lloyd Webber was reportedly not happy with the casting or Harold Prince's product and the evidence was subsequently revised for a London staging directed past Gale Edwards. The product included the Boyzone number-one hitting "No Matter What", which remained at the height of the UK charts for iii weeks. His The Beautiful Game opened in London and has never been seen on Broadway. The evidence had a respectable run at The Cambridge Theatre in London.

Lloyd Webber, at 73, appears to take been reanimated creatively in recent years. Both Schoolhouse of Stone and Cinderella earned him some of the all-time reviews of his career and had a lightness and wit that had been missing from his work. They came after a grueling period in the wilderness, one characterized past failures, disappointments and missteps. ... It seemed, for a time, as though the Lloyd Webber formula, which relied on swooning, rapturous melodies and razzle-dazzle, had grown stale.[77]

...brings a new dramatic tension to Mendelssohn's original tune through the dislocated emotions of Mary Magdalene. The opening theme may be Mendelssohn, simply the rhythmic and harmonic treatment forth with new lines of highly effective melodic development are Lloyd Webber's. The song works in its own right as its many performers and audiences can witness.[81]
A 1971 accusation of plagiarism regarded the Pinkish Floyd album Meddle. The sixth track of the album, "Echoes", has a riff on which Lloyd Webber allegedly based the opening organ riff in "The Phantom of the Opera". The two riffs share very similar notes and the guild of the notes played. Lloyd Webber'south pipage organ riff from "Phantom of the Opera" plays D, C ♯ , C, B, A ♯ , then ascending A ♯ , B, C, C ♯ , D. Pink Floyd's "Echoes" plays C ♯ , C, B, A ♯ , A, then ascending A, A ♯ , B, C, C ♯ .
