It was their intent to present as complete a work as possible at the Sydmonton Festival in September 1979. He quickly began writing lyrics for several tunes Lloyd Webber already had composed. It was Black who suggested she emigrate to the States. Rice's original concept had kept 'the girl' in the UK. Although it had proven to be unsuccessful, his Bar Mitzvah Boy had impressed Lloyd Webber, who thought Black would be a good match. He opted for Don Black who, following a successful stint in Hollywood (including an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Born Free"), had begun writing for the theatre. Lloyd Webber felt that allowing Paige to appear in the series would suggest he approved of the relationship, so he decided to look for a new lyricist. Shortly after they began working, however, Lloyd Webber realized Rice was writing specifically for Elaine Paige, with whom Rice was having an affair. The two relished working on a small-scale project following Evita. The musical is based on an idea originally conceived by Tim Rice, who intended to develop it as a cycle of television shows with songwriting partner Andrew Lloyd Webber. Her romantic misadventures begin in New York City, lead her to Hollywood, and eventually take her back to Manhattan. A one-act song cycle, it tells the story of an ordinary English girl from Muswell Hill, who journeys to the United States in search of love. A one-woman show, it has been performed by a number of female singers/actors, most notably Marti Webb and Bernadette Peters. Tell Me on a Sunday is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Don Black.
