Andrew Lloyd Webber, Baron Lloyd-Webber (born March 22, 1948) is a highly
successful British composer of musical theatre, and also the elder brother of

from Jesus Christ Superstar, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" from Evita, "Memory"
from Cats, and "The Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera have been
widely recorded and were hits outside of their parent musicals. 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 Lloyd Webber's musicals under licence from the Really Useful Group.
