Lloyd-Webber's musical contributions – from his early works The Likes of Us and Joseph to his smash hits Jesus Christ Superstar , Evita , Cats , and The Phantom of the Opera , among others – are also thoroughly analyzed. As in Citron's previous critically acclaimed books in this series, the artists'works are clarified and put into context with their contemporaries.
