Tim Minchin - Composer and Musician

Tim composed many scores for theatre before focussing on live performance. Shows include several Shakespeares (Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, MacBeth), a couple of Brechts (Mother Courage, Caucasian Chalk Circle) and his own musical play, Pop – a tragically musical romantic black comedy. In the past he has written music and lyrics for Tamarama Rock Surfer’s This Blasted Earth. He most recently wrote music and lyrics for Railway Street Theatre Company’s Somewhere. He has also composed and produced music for Discovery Channel.

“Rock n Roll Nerd”, a documentary about Tim’s life between 2005 and 2006, premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival in July 2008 and was released on DVD by Madman Entertainment in May 2009

When not on tour, Tim lives in London with his wife and young children.
