Due to popular demand, following his sell-out tour, Sir Tim Rice, the multi-award-winning, internationally renowned lyricist, will return to theatre stages with his extraordinary live musical theatre event – MY LIFE IN MUSICALS – I KNOW HIM SO WELL.
The show will see Tim Rice reflect on his illustrious career at the heart of musical theatre, sharing anecdotes behind the songs–the hits and the misses along with stories of his life and live performances from the wonderful catalogue of songs that are synonymous with his name and that of his collaborators. Musical accompaniment will be from an array of some of the UK’s leading West End singers and musicians led by Musical Director Duncan Waugh.
Tim is associated with writing the lyrics for so many of the world’s much-loved hit musicals- JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, EVITA, CHESS and the Disney productions THE LION KING, ALADDIN and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. His work has not been limited to musical theatre alone with EVITA transferring to the big screen and theme music for the James Bond movie Octopussy.
With the show packed full of songs including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Any Dream Will Do, A Whole New World, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, I Don’t Know How To Love Him, Circle of Life, Chess, Hakuna Matata, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, I Know Him So Well, All Time High, Must Love Me, One Night In Bangkok, MY LIFE IN MUSICALS is an absolute must for fans of musical theatre and brilliant music.
Regarded by many as one of the world’s greatest lyricists Tim Rice commented “MY LIFE IN MUSICALS is a show in which I reveal all (well, nearly all) of the secrets behind the creation of some of the best-known songs featuring my lyrics. I have had the good fortune to work with some of the greatest composers of our time, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, Elton John and Alan Menken, without whose wonderful melodies I’d be at home watching television.
You’ll probably know quite a few of the songs–and will therefore be relieved to hear I won’t be singing them. All musical aspects of the show I hand over to the outstanding Duncan Waugh Band and West End Singers. There will be plenty of stops in between the hits during which I’ll tell you how they happened and, in some cases, nearly didn’t. Actually, I might sing a little–but not Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.”
Running time: 2 hours and 30 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)
