Tim Rice reflects on his career

November 19, 2008 If you've ever found yourself singing "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," "A Whole New World," "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" -- or countless other show and pop tunes -- you've sung the words of Tim Rice.

Bowen for The Hollywood Reporter as he prepared to receive his latest honor, a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame for his contributions to live theater/live performance. Most of the hit shows tend to be brilliantly put together around existing songs or old scores, and certainly in England there isn't anybody young and good coming up with revolutionary or interesting new ideas.
