In 1956, Webber went to Westminster where he composed music for the school plays. He won a Challenge Scholarship in 1962 and, in mostrar más 1964, he received a scholarship to transfer to Oxford. It was during this time that Webber met Tim Rice. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue composing music with Rice. His first musical, "The Likes of Us," was a failure. After that, in 1968, "Joseph" premiered at Colet Court. In 1971, "Jesus Christ Superstar" opened and he married Sarah Hugill. Webber tried writing music with Alan Ayckbourn and did "Jeeves", which was not successful. Again working with Tim Rice, they wrote "Evita" in 1975. "Cats," was a hit and beat "A Chorus Line" for longest running musical and highest grossing musical. "Starlight Express", a musical about trains, was created in 1984 and was the most expensive musical up to that point. "Requiem" and "Phantom of the Opera" featured his new wife Sarah Brightman. They were married from 1984 to 1991. In 1991, he married Madeleine Gurdon. Also to Webber's credit is "Aspects of Love," "Sunset Boulevard" and "Whistle Down Wind." Andrew Lloyd Webber was knighted in 1997and during his career, has received several awards that include an Academy Award, Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Drama Desk Awards and Critic Circle Awards.

El espectáculo se adentra en la psicología de Jesús desde el punto de vista de su discípulo Judas Iscariote, quien es retratado como una figura trágica descontenta con la dirección que ha tomado la doctrina de su maestro, y plantea un enfrentamiento político y personal entre los dos que no está reflejado en la Biblia. Durante el desarrollo de la trama se presentan numerosos anacronismos intencionados, como actitudes y sensibilidades contemporáneas, argot en las letras de las canciones o alusiones irónicas a la vida moderna.
Desde su debut en Estados Unidos, Jesus Christ Superstar ha podido verse en más de 40 países a lo largo de todo el mundo, convirtiéndose en un fenómeno cultural sin precedentes.
Antes de su estreno en Broadway y el West End, Jesus Christ Superstar fue grabado en forma de álbum conceptual con Ian Gillan (vocalista de Deep Purple) como Jesús, Murray Head como Judas e Yvonne Elliman como María Magdalena. En el disco también tomaron parte Mike d'Abo (líder de Manfred Mann) como Herodes y el cantante de glam rock Gary Glitter (acreditado como Paul Raven) en el papel de uno de los sacerdotes, además de una orquesta sinfónica de 56 piezas y 6 músicos rock. La grabación salió a la venta en 1970 y consiguió llegar al primer puesto del Billboard en dos ocasiones.12 Las canciones "Superstar" (interpretada por Murray Head y The Trinidad Singers) y "I Don't Know How to Love Him" (interpretada por Yvonne Elliman) fueron publicadas como singles y se convirtieron en éxitos.
El álbum conceptual de Jesus Christ Superstar tiene un estilo rock muy distinto a los posteriores trabajos de Lloyd Webber. Esto se debe principalmente a las voces de Ian Gillan y Murray Head, al empleo de arreglos con varias capas de sonido que combinan elementos rock con otros más clásicos y a la participación de conocidos músicos del género como el bajista Alan Spenner, el batería Bruce Rowland o los guitarristas Neil Hubbard y Chris Spedding.
Tras la publicación del disco, varias producciones no autorizadas de la obra comenzaron a proliferar, desde versiones en concierto como la llevada a cabo por el Ravenswood Rock Group el 4 de abril de 1971 en la Madison Avenue Baptist Church de Nueva York a puestas en escena completas como la del Southold High School en junio de 1971, provocando demandas por parte de los autores que acabaron con el cierre de todos estos montajes ilegales y convirtieron a Jesus Christ Superstar en un referente en la ley de derechos de autor.3 El 12 de julio de 1971 se celebró el primer concierto oficial ante 13.640 personas en el Civic Arena de Pittsburgh, Pensilvania, con Jeff Fenholt como Jesús, Carl Anderson como Judas e Yvonne Elliman como María Magdalena, para después embarcarse en un tour por 54 ciudades estadounidenses.4 La extraordinaria acogida de estos primeros conciertos hizo que otras dos compañías saliesen a la carretera ese mismo año, coincidiendo tres giras recorriendo el país simultáneamente.
