It has the distinction of being their first musical to be performed publicly. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat had its Broadway premiere in January 198...
The rock opera Jesus Christ Superstarfeatures music by Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Rice. The story is loosely based on the Gospels’ accounts of the last week of Jesus’s life.

- The Likes of Us (1965) The Likes of Us dramatises how the charity Barnardo's came into existence and is a jaunty production based on the story of Thomas John Barnardo.
- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat(1968) The story of Joseph and his famous coat of many colours has recognisable hits such as "Any Dream Will Do" and "Go Go Go Joseph!"
- Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) Beginning life as a rock opera concept album, Jesus Christ Superstar was written by Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice and is based around the Gospels' accounts of Jesus's life.
- Jeeves (1975) Based on the PG Wodehouse books, Jeeves is regarded as the musical theatre titan's only flop. It only ran for 38 performances at Her Majesty's Theatre.
- Evita. Yes, she’s ‘High Flying, Adored’, and top of our big ol’ list. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s characteristically offbeat decision to make a musical about the little-known wife of an Argentinian president paid off in a wonderfully varied show with the kind of emotional heft their other hits mostly lack.
- Jesus Christ Superstar. There was only the smallest window in history when making a rock musical about Jesus was a viable prospect, and Lloyd Webber and Rice smashed it. ‘
- The Phantom of the Opera. The most successful British musical in history is, of course, a completely ludicrous document of ’80s excess. But it still looks genuinely amazing on almost every level, and has a roster of wondrously OTT songs that makes it one of Lloyd Webber’s strongest scores.
- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This Biblical musical has a whiff of naffness to it. But don’t judge a coat by its (many, many) colours: underneath the gaudy trappings, this show is stuffed with high drama and endlessly catchy songs.
Dec 5, 2019 · The 1982 cast. Andrew Lloyd Webber hates technical rehearsals. The slow pace, the stopping and starting as stagehands and designers fiddle with sound and lighting cues, and the inevitable...
