Love this. <3 I would, however, like to know why at 0:55, there appears to be a guy dressed as "Where's Waldo" with a fur cap that hangs halfway to his ass. XD If you say so, costumers.
I am so glad I found this amazing video! I have been wanting to see this musical for the longest time, but unfortunately it didn't tour anywhere close to where I live, and I cannot afford to travel halfway around the globe for this, as much as I would love to. It looks like an amazing musical, and I definitely wish they would make a video of it someday for sale... I'd definitely buy it.
@acerflots Looks like SOMEONE didn't read the book. If you had, you would realize that hobbits are supposed to be fat. They eat seven meals a day and just sit around smoking their pipes. Of course they are going to be fat. The way they look is very close to the way they are described in the books.
ummm they didnt make him look bigger, to look fat, they made him look bigger so that they looks slighty smaller/shorter and hobbit like. ud know that if u watch the behind the scenes programs.
@mizlovermizanin You're basing the characters' appearance on the movies aren't you? The movies are only Peter Jackson's interpretation of how the Hobbits should look. But as is also stated above, I think Hobbits are generally pretty round shall we say? ^^ Likely Frodo included as he was the nephew of Bilbo and thus probably pretty well to do.
I love this video!! ^^ Thanks so much for uploading it! I've watched it far too many times already. You didn't happen to film "The Road Goes On" or the part with the Ents by any chance? I'm just dying to see how those sections looked since I've heard several audio versions on here. <3
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nice singing! Only, why did they make the hobbits look like they´d just pooped in their pants?! Gods, they have like HUGE arses! No offence, though, I´d still like to see the show ;oD
Personally I would have hated this number if all singing had been technically perfect, it would not have captured the personality/way of the hobbits. It was so fantastic watching this live, one of those songs that makes you want to join in, despite any flaws or imperfections. It just made it more likeable. By any chance do you have a recording of Wonder? To see that again would make me so happy :) Thanks for posting!!
Okay, can I just say that this makes a ton of live singers look like absolute tools? I mean, here these people can do intense dancing, and sing harmonies with projection, all completely in key! Then you have idiot singers who stand on the stage and walk around a bit who can't keep themselves from going flat or sharp. What. The. Fuck.
I actually am a performer, so I DO know something about it. I know it's tough not to go flat, tougher still to be able to tell during performance that that's happening, yet I know it's possible.
Which has nothing to do with anything we were, theoretically, talking about. Congratulations on your skin color, friend, but I don't really care. Say something productive or stop talking to me.
loved seeing this musical. at the beginning merry and pippin sat behind me and talked about pipe weed and in the performance an orc ran in to my row looked me in the eye and shrieked lol. Its on tour now so I hope to see it again.
LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!! It was total amazing to see live and i loved every second of it! i only wish i had got to see every performace instead of just 3 showings!
I am a huge "Lord of the Rings" fan and I can't believe they made it into a musical!!!! Now I can't get this song out of my head because that was the most AMAZING thing I've seen yet!!! XD
j'ai vu le spectacle 8 fois !!! 4 dans le public et 4 dans le back stage !! j'y ai tout découvert c'était fantastique !! merci ma cousine et mon cousin alias frodo and second galadriel ! je vous aimes !!
I have to say Frodo's rang of motion looks kind of limited at times, this is so cute though! Maybe amazing is nearer the mark, duh! Merry looks a lot like Dom most of the time here. I am crying on the inside right now because I want to see this sooooo bad!
anyone who didnt see this show -shame on you. One of the best shows ive ever seen, visually it was amazing, costumes, set, stunts. I doubt we will see anything as good as LOTR for a while!!!
I'm so glad i got to see this show....did anyone see the matinee with the pre show where the hobbits were in the audiance chatting to people and catching fireflies in nets
Yep, the hobbits were in the audience when I was there - very funny! I didn't know they only did that for the matinee though. When I heard the show was closing we rescheduled our holiday to London and managed to get tickets for one of the last performances. Feel lucky to have seen the show.
I went to see it twice, none of them was a matinee, and the Hobbits were there, catching fireflies and playing pranks on the audience ^^ I even "clapped feet" with Rosie! :D
the hobbits do that at the start of every show! thats partly why i love it! its so funny! one of them came and did the foot touch greeting with my cousin! its so cute!
Musical productions from Broadway or London are rarely touring in some countries.
I discovered this musical thanks to YouTube. Then I bought the CD thanks to Internet. The songs are amazing ! Now, I'm waiting for the DVD... I just hope they'll release one.
@sortsius But not everyone CAN watch musicals LIVE. I've seen it live but I like watching this video for the memories. You can't b*tch about the people who will never get a chance to see it because it won't come near them, or the people that just want to remenice. Those who ARE watching this video jsut because they can't be arsed to go see it, I completely agree with.
Oh, nm lol, I am not fully 100% at the moment! LOL...(a little tired)...lol, I love this musical...I wish I could see it, it would make me so happy if they came to America!
What I especially like about the musical is that it's faithful to Tolkien's books. One thing that the film seemed to forget, was the fact that Frodo and Pippin are cousins. They never really shared a bond in the film as they do in the musical. Apparently this playwright knows LOTR, more so than the screenwriters of the film trilogy. That doesn't mean that I don't love the films. I LOVE THE LOTR FILMS! I just happen to adore the musical as well.
i reeli wish i saw the musical but now i've lost the chance. do you think you would later be able to buy it on dvd or somthing like dat. seriously i am desparate to watch dis it looks so gd. itz a gr8t performance by dem
There has been a petition going to get the show on to DVD... but at the moment i don't think anyone has any idea if it will be on dvd... but your right! it's an awsome performance!!
Thanks!! I knew Sam was Ben E, i wern't sure on James, and Owen... but i do think it is Richard... it dose look more like him... lol But Thanks any way!! i just wanned 2 doubble check...
God, how I wish this could have stayed longer in the West End. It was the most spectacular show I have seen in my life. Went from Spain to see it twice!! LOTR the musical ROCKS!!!
I know it's forbidden to film the show, but nevertheless I love the video! The song is so cool and the dance performance is definately one of the best in the whole show!!! Those four hobbits are just GREAT!!!
Type Go Petition into Googe, type Lord of the rings london stage show in the go petition search box and sign the petition to get the show released on dvd. Its so awesome not to be released. Promote this petition everywhere! I want it!!!!
