The first comprehensive survey of the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber,
the best-known composer of musical theater of our generation Andrew
Lloyd Webber is the most famous-and most controversial-composer of
musical theater alive today. Hundreds of millions of people have
seen his musicals, which include Cats, The Phantom of the Opera,
Starlight Express, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,
Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, and Sunset Boulevard. Even more know
his songs. Lloyd Webber's many awards include seven Tonys and three
Grammys-but he has nonetheless been the subject of greater critical
vitriol than any of his artistic peers. Why have both the man and
his work provoked such extreme responses? Does he challenge his
audiences, or merely recycle the comfortable and familiar? Over
three decades, how has Lloyd Webber changed fundamentally what a
musical can be? In this sustained examination of Lloyd Webber's
creative career, the music scholar John Snelson explores the vast
range of influences that have informed Lloyd Webber's work, from
film, rock, and pop music to Lloyd Webber's own life story. This
rigorous and sympathetic survey will be essential reading for
anyone interested in Lloyd Webber's musicals and the world of
modern musical theater that he has been so instrumental in shaping.
