UPDATES: Tim Rice is back with My Life in Musicals in 2025 – with dates in April and May 2025. Read more here

Award-winning lyricist Sir Tim Rice is to tour the UK in 2024, in his live musical theatre event My Life In Musicals – I Know Him So Well.

The show sees Tim Rice reflect on his extraordinary career at the heart of British and US musical theatre, and share anecdotes behind the songs, including the misses as well as the hits!

There will also be stories of his life and live performances from his incredible catalogue of songs, featuring leading West End singers and musicians led by Musical Director Duncan Waugh.

Tim Rice has composed the lyrics for many of the world’s great musicals, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Chess, and the Disney productions The Lion King, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast.

The show will be packed full of his songs including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina and Another Suitcase in Another Hall (Evita), Any Dream Will Do (Joseph), A Whole New World (Aladdin) Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Circle of Life (The Lion King), I Don’t Know How To Love Him (Jesus Christ Superstar), I Know Him So Well and One Night in Bangkok (Chess), and All Time High (Octopussy).

Tim Rice said: “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 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.”

Tickets are on sale now.

Tim Rice has also recently joined the BBC Maestro streaming platform, offering an in-depth course into writing and performing for musical theatre.
