High Flying Adored – MadonnaTribe meets Tim Rice
MadonnaTribe is proud to present an exclusive interview to Sir Tim Rice, the acclaimed lyricist of “Evita“.
Tim Rice began his professional life with the intention of being a solicitor, but very soon wound up working for EMI records and became the man behind the unforgettable lyrics of many famous musicals such as “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”, “Evita”, “Chess”, of popular Disney movies like “The Lion King”, “Aladdin”, and stage productions like “Aida” and “Beauty And The Beast”.
His work has won him numerous awards including 12 Ivor Novello Awards, 4 Tonys, and 3 Oscars.
Tim was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1999 and was knighted in 1994. During the Broadway run of the “Jesus Christ Superstar” revival in 2000, he had a total of four shows playing simultaneously on the Great White Way, a record later equalled in Japan when, with the opening of “Aida” in December 2003, he had four shows playing simultaneously.
Tim will be discussing with us how “Evita” came to life, the Oscar winning song “You Must Love Me“, previous titles of the classic number “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina“, the Alan Parker movie and of course he will be sharing with our readers his thoughts about the Queen of Pop.
