New York Times Bestseller: From the Broadway legend, a “charmingly idiosyncratic, surprisingly endearing and ruthlessly entertaining autobiography” (The Wall Street Journal).

Andrew Lloyd Webber has reigned over the musical theatre world for half a century. Here, in his own inimitable, quirky voice, the revered composer takes stock of his achievements, the twists of fate that brought both success and disappointment, and what inspires and sustains him. He reveals his artistic influences and reminisces about his bohemian London youth and the happiest place of his childhood: his homemade Harrington Pavilion—a make-believe world of musical theatre in which he created his earliest entertainments.

A record of several exciting and turbulent decades of British and American musical theatre, Unmasked is ultimately a chronicle of artistic creation. Lloyd Webber looks back at the development of some of his most famous works and his collaborations with such luminaries as Tim Rice, Robert Stigwood, Harold Prince, Cameron Mackintosh, and Trevor Nunn. He reveals fascinating details about each of his productions: the cast of characters involved with making them, the creative and logistical challenges, and the artistic political battles.

He recalls writing songs for a school production that would become his first hit, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat; finding the performers for his rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar; developing his first megahit, Evita, which would win seven Tony Awards; staking his reputation and fortune on the groundbreaking Cats; and making history with the dazzling The Phantom of the Opera.

Reflecting a life of many passions (from architecture to Turkish Swimming Cats), full of witty and revealing anecdotes, and featuring cameos by many celebrities—Elaine Paige, Sarah Brightman, David Frost, Julie Covington, Judi Dench, Richard Branson, A.R. Rahman, Mandy Patinkin, Patti LuPone, Richard Rodgers, Norman Jewison, Milos Forman, Plácido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Michael Crawford, Gillian Lynne, Betty Buckley, and more—Unmasked at last reveals the true face of the extraordinary man behind the legend.
