Lloyd Webber's success is itself record-breaking. In 1991, he had six productions running at the same time on London's West End — their Broadway — the first and only composer (so far) ever to do so, reported the Mirror. In 2017, he had four on Broadway simultaneously: "Sunset Boulevard," "Cats," "The Phantom of the Opera," and "School of Rock — The Musical." This made him the record holder for most concurrent-running shows, a feat only shared by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, creators of "The Sound of Music," "Carousel," and "The King and I," said London Theatre.
"Cats," a show based on T.S. Eliot's poetry, ran 21 years in London after opening in 1981, and was the city's longest-running musical, according to Biography. It also became the longest-running show on Broadway after entertaining audiences for 18 years, until another Lloyd Webber show, "The Phantom of the Opera," surpassed it, said Broadway.org. The story of a soprano inspired and haunted by a mysterious masked musical genius opened in 1988 and is still playing on Broadway.
Even using a pseudonym, Lloyd Webber finds success, according to Medium. As "Doctor Spin", he created a Eurodance remix single, "Tetris," in 1992 that used the video game's theme music and even topped the charts, landing at number six (and posted on YouTube).
Lloyd Webber also wrote songs for famous singers. He and Tim Rice, for instance, collaborated on "It's Easy for You" for Elvis Presley's 1977 "Moody Blues" album, recorded during Elvis' last session on Oct. 29, 1976, said Broadway World. (Listen on YouTube.)
