Win Tickets to See Tim Rice in Sunderland, Darlington, York or Leeds

A trustee of Sunderland’s Foundation of Light charity, Tim is heading back up north to entertain audiences. Tim Rice – My Life In Musicals: I Know Him So Well proved so popular the first time around that new dates have been added. In his special show he reflects on his career in musical theatre, working with Elton John and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and treats audiences to live performances from the catalogue of songs that are synonymous with his name – think Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, and the Disney productions The Lion King, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. Musical fans would be a fool to miss this show packed full of songs including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Any Dream Will Do, A Whole New World, Circle of Life and Hakuna Matata. 

‘Over the years I had done quite a few shows like this, mainly for charity, and also on cruise liners,’ Tim says. ‘The show features songs with my lyrics, most of which, I’m very happy to say, are quite well known. I would tell what I hoped were amusing and/or entertaining stories about how each song happened – and tales about the great composers with whom I wrote the songs – Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John, Alan Menken, Bjorn and Benny and one or two others. I was supported by a live band and four top class singers – two guys, two girls – who between them would let rip (brilliantly) with the vocals. It was tremendous fun.

‘I was approached by NLP, who suggested a commercial tour of the show. We did a trial run of four dates in England in 2023 and they went pretty well. So, the producers recklessly said they’d like to put together a longer tour – which they did in April/May 2024.  Such was the demand that a 2025 repeat was called for. I am now doing 38 dates across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland from 11th April until 31st May. Insanity!’
