A winner of three Oscars, all for Best Original Song, but shares them with Music/AlanMenken, Music/EltonJohn and Lloyd Webber respectively.

He also did the lyrics for the new songs in the stage version of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', as well as all the lyrics for ''Theatre/{{Aida|JohnRice}}'' and ''Disney/TheLionKing'' both on screen and stage. Since they recruited a new lyricist to beef up ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' for Broadway, it looks unlikely that he will do any more work with them. That said, a lot of critics specifically targeted the new songs as being sub-par, so Creator/{{Disney}} may ask him back for their next venture.

Not a composer, but his work falls into this category of the rest of a {{Theater}} creator, and plus, he deserves his own page. Timothy Miles Bindon Rice (born 10 November 1944) is a lyricist/writer/broadcaster, closely associated with, and all too often overshadowed by, with Creator/AndrewLloydWebber (so much so, that his ex(ish) wife wrote a letter of complaint to the The Daily Telegraph to clarify that the whole concept of ''Music/{{Evita}}'' was his idea although Lloyd-Webber is given all the credit) but also a critically acclaimed writer of musicals in his own right. He's also a big UsefulNotes/{{Cricket}} fan.

He has written the lyrics and book for these musicals. In chronological order:
