Andrew Lloyd Webber UK Biography
When Sunset Boulevard joined School Of Rock, Cats and The Phantom Of The Opera on
Broadway last year, Andrew Lloyd Webber became the only person to equal the record set in
1953 by Rodgers and Hammerstein with four Broadway shows running concurrently. Other
musicals he has composed include Aspects Of Love, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita and Love Never Dies.
His production of School Of Rock is the first British musical to have world premiered on Broadway.
He has co-produced his own shows including Cats and The Phantom Of The Opera and as a solo
producer he presented the groundbreaking Bombay Dreams which introduced the double Oscar
winning Bollywood composer AR Rahman to the Western stage. Other productions include the
Olivier Award Winning Daisy Pulls It Off and La Bete, the record breaking Palladium production of
The Sound Of Music and The Wizard of Oz.
He owns seven West End Theatres including the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the Palladium and
The Other Palace which provides a unique London home for new musicals in development.

He is passionate about the importance of music in education and the Andrew Lloyd Webber
Foundation has become one of Britain’s leading charities supporting the arts and music.
As a composer and producer, Lloyd Webber is one of an elite group of artists to have achieved
EGOT status by receiving an Emmy, four Grammys including Best Contemporary Classical
Composition for Requiem, his setting of the Latin Requiem mass, an Oscar and eight Tony
Awards including the 2018 Special Tony for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre. Additionally he
has been honoured with seven Oliviers, a Golden Globe, the Praemium Imperiale, the Richard
Rodgers Award for Excellence in Musical Theatre, a BASCA Fellowship, and the Kennedy Center
Honor.
He was knighted in 1992 and created a life peer in 1997. To mark his 70 th birthday, his bestselling
autobiography Unmasked was published by HarperCollins in March 2018.
