Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber is probably Great Britian's most famous composer of musicals. He started to write as a very young boy and now his musicals play all around the world. He has written e.g. The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. For more info about him, please visit this link http://www.reallyuseful.com/rug/andrew/
Two of my favorites are "Cats" and "Phantom of The Opera" I am lucky enough to live near Memphis, TN and the "Orpheum Theater" has a full lineup of great musicals and shows. I try to attend at least one or two shows each season. My daughter and I had a special night together and dressed up to go see "Cats." We had great seats and thoroughly enjoyed our Daddy-Daughter Art's Night Out! I also was lucky enough to get front row seats for one performance to which I took my wife. The highlight of the evening was when "Rum Tum Tugger" http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/others/catschar.html crawled across the laps of everyone in the front row during part of the show. 
Guess who my wife's favorite Character is now!
Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement.
Tonight is a particularly special night of the year when the tribe of Jellicle CATS unite to celebrate who they are. They emerge from the darkened landscape into a larger-than-life junkyard, singing of their unique abilities and special qualities. ( http://reallyuseful.com/rug/shows/cats/background.htm )
The Phantom of the Opera - A synopsis
It is 1911 and the contents of the Paris Opera House are being auctioned off. Present are the auctioneer, porters and bidders. Raoul, now seventy years old and in a wheelchair, buys a poster and a music box. As the auctioneer displays the Opera House chandelier, he explains that it is connected with the legend of The Phantom of the Opera. With a flash of light, the audience is flung back in time, when the Paris Opera was at its height. http://reallyuseful.com/rug/shows/phantom/background.htm
