Rice and Lloyd-Webber write new songs for comedy

Sir Tim Rice and Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber have collaborated on new songs for a comedy titled "Sherlock Holmes and the 12 Days of Christmas." The show will debut at The Birmingham Rep Theatre in November. The musical features a comedic plot about a serial killer linked to the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Rice expressed enjoyment in working with Lloyd-Webber again, noting their ongoing connection over the years. Rice and Lloyd-Webber previously created successful musicals like "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Evita." They have pursued separate projects since the 1980s but continue to collaborate occasionally.
