I would propose “Jesus Christ Superstar” or “Evita”, if they qualify as musicals (actually, they are supposed to be rock opera). If not, I would propose Cats. 1) here is the list of the shows with his music, from the beginning up to 1986: “The Likes of Us (1965) Lyrics by Tim Rice Not shown until 2005 Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1968) Lyrics by Tim Rice Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) Lyrics by Tim Rice Jeeves (1975) Lyrics by Alan Ayckbourn Revised in 1996 as By Jeeves Evita (1976) Lyrics by Tim Rice Tell Me on a Sunday (1979) Lyrics by Don Black Cats (1981) Lyrics by Trevor Nunn, after T. S. Eliot Song and Dance (1982) Lyrics by Don Black (revised by Richard Maltby, Jr. for Broadway) Combination of Variations (1978) and Tell Me On A Sunday (1979) Starlight Express (1984) Lyrics by Richard Stilgoe The Phantom of the Opera (1986) Lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe Based on the Gaston Leroux novel” Source and further information:
