I saw the Toronto show, the second performance ever :) It was amazing! So much so that watching this video brought tears to my eyes... knowing I will never be able to see this again makes me so sad.
I wanna kill myself knowing there's just no chance for this to come to Mexico in the 2011 World Tour. I'm happy if it at least goes to the US though! AND RELEASES DVDs!!!!!!!
the reason it didnt continue is because it was extreamly expensive. Im very very sad it didnt because its a finominal show and absolutly stunning music
i saw it in london but i didnt thought it was that good, they have done it good but it is to slow think that avenueq, we will rock you or spamelot is one of the best
@Stu0894 The Balrog was a HUGE creature that I dunno how they worked and Shelob was another big creature that was handled by nearly invisible people moving like a collective. Im not sure what the Watcher was. I'm getting this from a review I read and a clip of the Balrog I saw.
@sprigelf2000 There is an intermission (where you can go to the toilet, buy drinks etc) between Fellowship and Two Towers, and another between TT and RotK, but this one the orcs are running around the aisles scaring the crap out of you for five minutes and you can't leave your seat.
@standimitri Actually he's right. The Toronto Production was a piece of crap ... and that's the nicest description I saw of it. They tore the show apart before bringing it to London and improved it to no end. London production is definitely better,
@Gackt43191 It finished it's run in London in July 08. A UK/Europe tour was rumoured, but seemed to be too costly. It's not currently running anywhere. :-(
Oh, this musical is up amongst the greats that I've seen, along with Lion King and Warhorse. The acting was amazing, the SFX were both scary and epic. The orcs were really well done, and some of the songs were so damn catchy!
The date I am writting this on is September 22, 2009. If anyone knows if this show is going to be performed at any date after this one please tell me ASAP so I can beg my dad to take me no matter what the cost.
Saw the London Production - it is easily one of the best shows ever written... I'm just cofused as to why it hasn't done better than it has... For those of you who never got the chance to see it then I urge you when it goes to Europe or America to indulge yourself in Middle Earth! It is truly astounding!
Maybe so - but it opened in London at Drury Lane. They have also announced plans for a German production and are also looking into a Broadway production.
Shrek took the revovling stage from The Lord of the Rings Musical set, as Lord of the Rings was before Shrek, but it works amazily for both shows!! i saw Lord of the Rings up in London, this is the Toronto version of the show before the London show...
It was Amazing when I saw it... i mean with all the effects made it fantastic!! i mean when they put the ring on, they litterally dissapeared!! with Bilbo at the start he was standing centre stage, the voice said he put the ring on, nd he vanished! it was brilliant though!! same it's closed now...
I know it's probably pretty good (I've never seen it or even been to Europe *sob* so I wouldn't know), but why exactly make a musical for it? Isn't Enya's stunning voice enough? Again though I've never seen it so please don't hate me.
if they do bring the dvd out of it, i hope its the one from toronto, because that looks mental, london was good, but toronto looks freakin sweet with some of its effects.
I loved London so i would have to disagree. Although i know what you mean. I would have loved to see the army of the dead in the London version. The little clips ive seen of that in a montage vid looks awesome.
Go on the go petition website and type in the quick search 'LORD OF THE RINGS STAGE SHOW DVD' and sign the petition to get it released on dvd! When you get the URL, PROMOTE IT!
I saw it on the last night of previews in Toronto...they were still trying to get the time down to a managable bit.
Spellbinding. It was overwhelming in music and heart and soul and emotion and vision...maybe too much for the average theatre goer...there were scenes that defied imagination.
And don't even get me started on that zillion-dollar stage...there are no adjectives to describe it. The battle scenes were frick'n amazing.
Probably the best night I have ever spent in the theatre.
LOTR musical is the best thing ever!! If u guys haven't seeb it, u better go to London unless you're gonna go see it in Germany (I plan on doing that too, I'm gona try & see it once in every country it goes to on tour!
i dnt no y, bt ive jst booked a ticket 2 c it, cuz ma mum sed i cod cum 2 london bt nt 2 c wicked (ive seen it 13 times) so i bookd 4 dis, is it any good?? im sat n da stalls on row S is dat gona b ok, or is the circle beta ??
nah honestly learn to spell and bull sh*te you've seen wicked 13 times, we had to book tickets 6 months in advance just to get rubbish seats at the back of the stalls so if you have seen it 13 times then you must go and watch it and as soon as you come out then you must book your next set of tickets...so if your're gonna lie then you can at least make it believeable like you have seen wicked 4 times!!!!!!!!!
rite wat ever mate!!!! i have seen it 13 times cuz i stayed in london with family for 6 months, n trust me it aint that hard to get a ticket go 2 ticket stalls there all over london!!!! n you can get a good seat for that day, plus ive been on school trips and b-day and christmas presents, n dnt av a go at how i spell does it reali matter, i was just asking a question n i get all this shit,
all you ever seem to say is "wat ever" yeah its pathetic! anyway its not possible to have seen a west end show 13 times with out getting slightly board, maybe you've seen it a few times but NO WAY have you seen it 13
well mate fink wat u want but if u av seen it den how could u say u can get bored of it!!!!! it's my favourite musical ever so stop having a go at me over something so stupid, you can think wat u want i really really really dont care!!
i saw wicked once but i wouldn't go again. Its also one of my favourite musicals but there are 100s more musicals out there. ANYWAY!!!!!! lets just stop arguing over somthing as trivial as this okay? So whos your favourite Elphaba?
well it has to be Idina...hand down! infact all the origenal cast are fab! execpt the man who played dr dillamond...he does my head in. I went to see wicked a few months ago and i loved it but elphaba was casady janson and he was amazing!
oh right cool, well i think that any one who has seen wicked loves either kerry or idina, n i saw cassidy janson on the 5th april she is good but not as good as kerry or idina, so i take it you saw Dianne Pilkington then what did you think of her?? xx
she sounded sooooo much like kristen chenoweth it was scray lol, bt i fot she was really good apart from her harmony in for good, it was a little bit off
I saw this in November and it was BRILLIANT! Obviously you can't really get it from seeing clips. Like every musical you just need to be there in the atmosphere of the theatre.
For anyone wondering, the original Toronto production included Theoden, Eowyn and Eomer and the Helm's Deep battle, but they cut it for the London show because it was making the show far too long.
i just saw the london performance twice in 2 nights, if you think back - king theoden is in the show for a very short period of time. the first time when strider reveals who he really is to gimli, legolas and theoden and then theoden is back for the fighting
I know the man who plays Saruman. Rick is a good friend of my dad. If you want to hear his AWESOME singing voice, search for 'Mikado Stratford Young Man Despair', he's wonderful. And a really good cook, too. :)
wtf is on sauroman's nose? and why does Bilbo look like Bozo? why are the orcs on stilts? why does galadriel have a humongoginormous headdress? these are questions i ask myself.
I loved that musical! I saw it in London, okay they missed bits out (like the entire second book - well, basically) but they did have to. It was squashed into about two-three hours. I loved it to bits and I have to see it again with my friends!
Note: The guy who plays Frodo was so hot! (Or maybe that was just me) I can't tell if it was the Frodo in this video though.
The best bit about the entire thing though had to be the dancing orcs. You have not lived until you have seen dancing orcs!
I saw it in Toronto and loved it, I would LOVE to see it again. It was to bad that so much got left out but I guess if it's all three books wrapped up in one performance that's inevitable. I give it a 10/10!!!
I loved this musical...when i was in Toronto i saw it and then when it came to london me and my mum went to see it together. i thought it was brill! Hopefully seeing it with some friends in october:D
My gosh. I saw this show twice in Toronto, and I would see it over and over if I could. All things considered, it is the best stage version of LOTR that you could ever hope for. And I'm confused as to why Brent Carver keeps getting bad feedback. His Gandalf was original, quirky, touching, and sweet. His sly smile and twinkling eyes were engaging and gave a refreshing take on the typical-Ian-McKellen-style of wizard. Different, yes. Bad, or not-in-character? Heck no! So there. :)
Overall, it was well done. The only thing that took away from the whole production were some of the casting choices: Brent Carver left alot to desire.
Knowing some of the cast made it an even more enjoyable experience. Saruman was especially terrifying!
The site he's talking about has nothing to do with LOTR nor does it show anything. He's posting on every single clip to promote his website. It's crap.
The Toronto version is better then the London one cause they have scenes that London didn't have. But I would change some of the people just basically put it together. Does anyone have the full recording of the show?
In al honesty this seems interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing it. But I think if this comes to the US it's not gonna do that good. But you'll never know I could be wrong
I've never seen this and I don't know to much about it but it seems like a really bad combonation, musical theater and Lord of the Rings? I don't know.
hey mate, it was great. 3 hours so wasn't borin at all unlike d one in toronto wherein it apparently ran for 4 hours. the effects were spectacular. Recommended!

I loved that musical! I saw it in London, okay they missed bits out (like the entire second book - well, basically) but they did have to. It was squashed into about two-three hours. I loved it to bits and I have to see it again with my friends!
Note: The guy who plays Frodo was so hot! (Or maybe that was just me) I can't tell if it was the Frodo in this video though.
The best bit about the entire thing though had to be the dancing orcs. You have not lived until you have seen dancing orcs!

so the london version is just a copy of what they did in torronto..?

London's version is Toronto's version, evolved.
Toronto's version was raved by fans of the books, but got mixed reviews from critics.
They made it more widely understandable, and shipped it off to London.

I saw it in Toronto and loved it, I would LOVE to see it again. It was to bad that so much got left out but I guess if it's all three books wrapped up in one performance that's inevitable. I give it a 10/10!!!

My gosh. I saw this show twice in Toronto, and I would see it over and over if I could. All things considered, it is the best stage version of LOTR that you could ever hope for. And I'm confused as to why Brent Carver keeps getting bad feedback. His Gandalf was original, quirky, touching, and sweet. His sly smile and twinkling eyes were engaging and gave a refreshing take on the typical-Ian-McKellen-style of wizard. Different, yes. Bad, or not-in-character? Heck no! So there. :)

this play was not that good.. at least it wasn't as bad as the recent Phantom of the Opera that played in Toronto.

Overall, it was well done. The only thing that took away from the whole production were some of the casting choices: Brent Carver left alot to desire.
Knowing some of the cast made it an even more enjoyable experience. Saruman was especially terrifying!

The site he's talking about has nothing to do with LOTR nor does it show anything. He's posting on every single clip to promote his website. It's crap.

The Toronto version is better then the London one cause they have scenes that London didn't have. But I would change some of the people just basically put it together. Does anyone have the full recording of the show?

In al honesty this seems interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing it. But I think if this comes to the US it's not gonna do that good. But you'll never know I could be wrong
