Episode 14 of Tim Rice's GET ONTO MY CLOUD Podcast Will Feature New Songs From David Essex, Joss Ackland, and Elaine Paige

Tim Rice has revealed the guests on the upcoming 14th episode of his podcast, Get Onto My Cloud!

Rice revealed on Twitter that, in the episode, Hal Prince's first thoughts on Evita will be discussed. In addition, there will be songs from David Essex, Joss Ackland, and Elaine Paige.

The episode will be released Monday, August 3, and will be available wherever you listen to podcasts.

In Get Onto My Cloud, Tim Rice talks about his career in theatre and music, his colleagues and friends (plus the odd foe) and sometimes roams off stage to discuss other important matters in his life such as cricket, astronomy, Sunderland FC and boxer dogs. He plays recordings of some of his favourite lyrics (not always the obvious ones) and reveals how and why some shows worked brilliantly and some didn't. Relaxed, casual, essential listening for musical theatre fans and historians.
