Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida

Sunday, September 24, 2006

“Aida is not opera. It’s truly a pop musical with spoken dialogue and all kinds of recognizable song types: urban-based rhythm and blues, gospel inspired songs, ballads and, of course, Crocodile Rock songs.” – Elton John Winner of four 2000 Tony® Awards, Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida is a musical bursting with contemporary energy that tells the tale of the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country; Amneris, an Egyptian princess; and Radames, the soldier they both love. Aida is an epic and classic tale of love, loyalty, betrayal, and courage, with an exhilarating Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning score by Elton John and Tim Rice. Aida is their first collaboration since writing the music for The Lion King together. Time Magazine proclaims Aida “A big, bright show with luscious Elton John melodies.”
