Life and career

Andrew Lloyd Webber, Baron Lloyd-Webbe(born 22 March 1948) is an English composer and impresario of musical theatre.

Several of his musicals have run for more than a decade both in the West End and on Broadway. He has composed 13 musicals, a song cycle, a set of variations, two film scores, and a Latin Requiem Mass. Several of his songs have been widely recorded and were hits outside of their parent musicals, notably "The Music of the Night" from ‘The Phantom of the Opera’, "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "You Must Love Me" from Evita, "Any Dream Will Do" from ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ and "Memory" from Cats.

His company, the Really Useful Group, is one of the largest theatre operators in London. Producers in several parts of the UK have staged productions, including national tours, of the Lloyd Webber musicals under licence from the Really Useful Group. Lloyd Webber is also the president of the Arts Educational Schools London, a performing arts school located in Chiswick, West London. He is involved in a number of charitable activities, including the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Nordoff Robbins, Prostate Cancer UK and War Child. In 1992 he set up the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation which supports the arts, culture and heritage in the UK.

He has received a number of awards, including a knighthood in 1992, followed by a peerage from Queen Elizabeth II for services to Music, seven Tonys, three Grammys (as well as the Grammy Legend Award), an Academy Award, fourteen Ivor Novello Awards, seven Olivier Awards, a Golden Globe, a Brit Award, the 2006 Kennedy Center Honors, and the 2008 Classic Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is an inductee into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, and is a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

Lloyd Webber accepted the challenge of managing the UK's entry for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, to be held in Moscow. In early 2009 a series, called ‘Eurovision: Your Country Needs You’, was broadcast to find a performer for a song that he would compose for the competition. Jade Ewen won the right to represent Britain, winning with It's My Time, by Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren. At the contest, Lloyd Webber accompanied her on the piano during the performance. The United Kingdom finished 5th in the contest. The winner was Norway's Alexander Rybak with his world record composition "Fairytale".

On 8 October 2009, Lloyd Webber launched the musical ‘Love Never Dies’ at a press conference held at Her Majesty's Theatre, where the original ‘Phantom’ has been running since 1986. Also present were Sierra Boggess, who has been cast as Christine Daaé, and Ramin Karimloo, who portrayed Phantom, a role he most recently played in the West End.

On 26 February 2010, he appeared on BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross to promote Love Never Dies.

On 1 March 2011, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ opened at The Palladium Theatre, starring Danielle Hope as Dorothy and Michael Crawford as the Wizard.

In 2012 Lloyd Webber fronted a new ITV primetime show ‘Superstar’ which gave the UK public the chance to decide who would play the starring role of Jesus in an upcoming arena tour of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. The arena tour started in September 2012 and also starred comedian Tim Minchin as Judas Iscariot, former Spice Girl Melanie C as Mary Magdalene and BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles as King Herod.Tickets for most venues went on sale on 18 May 2012.

In 2013, Webber reunited with Christopher Hampton and Don Black on ‘Stephen Ward the Musical’.

In 2014, it was announced that Webber's next project would be a musical adaptation of the 2003 film ‘School of Rock’. On January 19, 2015, auditions opened for children aged nine to fifteen in cooperation with the ‘School of Rock’ music education program, which predated the film by several years.
