An Evening with Tim Rice

AN EVENING WITH TIM RICE JOINED BY THE DUNCAN WAUGH BAND & WEST END SINGERS

Internationally renowned lyricist Tim Rice is set to embark on a unique theatre tour in 2023, but who better to explain what the audience can expect than the eminent wordsmith himself?

“Circle Of Words 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 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.” – Tim Rice
