Life in Musicals - A MUSICAL of the work of Tim Rice is coming to the Cliffs Pavilion in May.

A MUSICAL of the work of Tim Rice is coming to the Cliffs Pavilion in May.

A live band and top singers will bring songs to life in this fun and colourful show that also sees Mr Rice reflect in person on his illustrious career at the heart of musical theatre.

Mr Rice will be 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.

The 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.

Mr Rice explains: “Over the years I had done quite a few shows like this, mainly for charity, and also on cruise liners. The show features songs with my lyrics, most of which, I’m very happy to say, are quite well known. It is tremendous fun.”

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!”
