Even if you have not seen his shows, you will have heard his
songs.

For works such as Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Lion
King, Sir Tim Rice is regarded as one of the greatest lyricists
of his generation.

After a break from songwriting which lasted ten years, he is
completing a new work, so what tempted him back?

Why are there so few truly original musicals nowadays and why has
he made it clear that he is very unlikely to work with his one
time collaborator Andrew Lloyd Webber ever again?
