Lloyd Webber was asked to write a song for the [[1992 Summer Olympics]] in Barcelona and he composed "[[Amigos Para Siempre]]&nbsp;— Friends for Life" with Don Black providing the lyrics. This song was performed by [[Sarah Brightman]] and [[José Carreras]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Andrew Lloyd Webber and Antonio Banderas team up for Spanish venture |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/jun/28/andrew-lloyd-webber-antonio-banderas-team-up-spanish-venture |work=The Guardian |date=28 June 2022 |access-date=21 November 2023}}</ref>

Lloyd Webber had toyed with the idea of writing a musical based on [[Billy Wilder]]'s critically acclaimed movie, ''[[Sunset Boulevard (1950 film)|Sunset Boulevard]]'', since seeing the film in the early 1970s, but the project did not come to fruition until after the completion of ''Aspects of Love'' when the composer finally managed to secure the rights from [[Paramount Pictures]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Lloyd Webber, Andrew: ''Inspired By Sunset Boulevard'' Really Useful Group |url=http://reallyuseful.com/rug/shows/sunset/show.htm |access-date=11 June 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080918101137/http://www.reallyuseful.com/rug/shows/sunset/show.htm |archive-date=18 September 2008}}</ref> The composer worked with two collaborators, as he had done on ''Aspects of Love''; this time Christopher Hampton and [[Don Black (lyricist)|Don Black]] shared equal credit for the book and lyrics. ''[[Sunset Boulevard (musical)|Sunset Boulevard]]'' opened at the [[Adelphi Theatre]] in London on 12 July 1993, and ran for 1,529 performances.<ref>Wolf, Matt.

In 1994, ''Sunset Boulevard'' became a successful Broadway show, opening with the largest advance in Broadway history, and winning seven Tony Awards that year. Even so, by its closing in 1997, "it had not recouped its reported $13&nbsp;million investment."<ref>Singer, Barry.

In 1998, Lloyd Webber released a [[Cats (1998 film)|film version of ''Cats'']], which was filmed at the Adelphi Theatre in London.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1998-10-22-9810220066-story.html|title=One More Time|work=[[Chicago Tribune]]|date=22 October 1998|first=Donald|last=Liebenson|access-date=5 April 2019}}</ref> [[David Mallet (director)|David Mallet]] directed the film, and Gillian Lynne choreographed it.

In 1998, ''[[Whistle Down the Wind (1996 musical)|Whistle Down the Wind]]'' made its debut, a musical written with lyrics supplied by [[Jim Steinman]]. Originally opening in Washington, Lloyd Webber was reportedly not happy with the casting or Harold Prince's production and the show was subsequently revised for a London staging directed by Gale Edwards. The production included the [[Boyzone]] number-one hit "[[No Matter What (Boyzone song)|No Matter What]]", which remained at the top of the UK charts for three weeks. His ''[[The Beautiful Game (musical)|The Beautiful Game]]'' opened in London and has never been seen on Broadway. The show had a respectable run at The Cambridge Theatre in London. The show was re-worked into a new musical, ''The Boys in the Photograph'', which had its world première at [[The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts]] in April 2008.<ref>The Boys in the Photograph Marketing Information {{cite web |url=http://www.lipa.ac.uk/publicperformances/theboys.asp |title=Public Season 08 : The Boys in the Photograph |access-date=24 November 2019|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080414015827/http://www.lipa.ac.uk/publicperformances/theboys.asp |archive-date=14 April 2008}}, [[Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts|LIPA]]'s Performance season website</ref><ref>Gans, Andrew.
