Andrew Lloyd Webber's parents were musical, so it is no surprise that he and his brother Julian displayed musical talent at a young age and then followed naturally into careers in music. In Andrew's case, while still studying music at college in Oxford, he had already met up with Tim Rice and they were creating shows together. One of those early shows was "Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" which was performed in a few local theatres before its growing popularity with young and old led to more widespread success. Their next project together was still apparently bringing religious topics together with popular and rock music, "Jesus Christ Superstar", though in this case the production brought some controversy over its subject matter. Despite this, the musical became an international success and was ... made into a film version.
