I went to see this, I remember the effects and certain moments (hobbits in the audience catching fireflies, spider shooting venom and the orcs on stilts doing flip=overs), but I couldn't remember a single song in it...which isn't really a positive thing because- you supposed to go home humming stuff- but I didn't.
@russellpatrickbrown Here here, Tolkien wished for all that, calling the continuation and the recreation of his great mythology is indeed naive, it is a mythology, a run of stories, he would be proud that his work has life, but some of this jargon has been foolish, it is only a mythology, and this production has shown it, or a little piece of it
One of the most GORGEOUS song EVER! I am a great lover of Lord of the Rings and other works of Tolkien and this has GOT to be the best thing I have heard, love Laura Michelle Kelly in this, to me, the definitive Galadriel! A great achievement, I listen to this, Wonder and the Final Battle all of the time and I find her voice like that of a goddess', one of my favourites, cheers for posting.
actually u guys are giving this all credit. its a complete rip off of "lady of shallot" by Loreena McKennit....its so similar. this musica rips stuff off...
@venausar1 This is the ending of the first lothlorien...the one on the CD is the one on the other channels and it's actually the ending of Lothlorien reprise so she sings that gorgeous theme while everyone is exiting her realm.
I find it annoying how critics didn't like the show. What did they expect? Huge special effects and battle scenes? Yes with shows on the theatre they can be beautiful and magnificient but there is a limit with what they can do.
To be honest, I dont know why people are moaning about this. The book for this musical was written at least a couple of years before the first film even came out. And just take a look at how amazing the staging and lights look, not to mention how brilliant the song sounds!
kind of loses its celtic and woodland feel..all of the over the top singing and over done make-up and get up ruins the basis of Tolkens story and concept. Lothlorien was mystical, quiet and enchanting, as was Galadriel. Elves were noble and mystical creatures. You would never walk into Lothlorien with elves hanging from trees, singing about it 'theatre style'...
Why would I want to put on a better production? It's obviously not meant for theatre, if this is what theatre does to it. Would a woodland elf look like this, let alone Galadriel? Would Galadriel wear a golden feather in her hair, whilst singing like she's auditioning for Annie? This production looks like 'A Midsummer's Night Dream' meets 'Cats' the musical meets Barnum and Bailey Circus. Peter Jackson nailed it.
Lord of the Rings was the most thrilling and exciting musical I've ever seen (3 times in the last week!) and to find this clip of the most beautiful staging in the whole show was the greatest surprise - so whoever you are - many, many thanks for uploading!
@Centration: No, just a reminder it is a stage adaptation. Book, film, and stage will all hit different audiences, the spirit of Tolkien's work is in all. You prefer the movie or book series?
@EverythingAustin well, i really like the movies but without the books there wouldn't even been a movie, and i've read the books and they're really good so i prefer the books, why? :)
@Centration: Trying to understand why you feel so strongly about the musical. It has its own particular kind of magic, something visual to watch without needing a TV screen. I think thats why I like this particular song and scene; someone had the imagination to think this up to interpret the books. I can see though that people would prefer the books so you can use your own imagination ;)
Just because someone decides to do a more artistic perspective of LOTR, doesn't make it bad. This is beautiful, and just because there isn't action doesn't make this "crap".
It's not even fair to say there isn't action...this is one freakin' scene. Awhile back,. someone had Frodo's struggle with Gollum at Mount Doom and some of the Final Battle stuff up here, and the action sequences looked amazing.
I saw this with my school in 2008. My first ever west end musical and it was SPECTACULAR! I loved every minute of it and I still remember it with happiness :)
It is such a pity that they don't perform it anymore in London. I had the luck of seeing this amazing musical in 2008, and it was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had at a live performance.
This musical is absolutely STUNNING! I saw it in London two years ago on a high school trip. Everything about this musical was incredible. The dances, the costumes, the actors, the singing, the songs, the sets etc. A.R. Rahmtan is a musical genius and I feel that he did Lord of The Rings justice with the music he created for this. Of course, Laura Michelle Kelly is a GODDESS and completely nailed this role. Overall, it was a fantastic show. Now I just wish it would come to the US! :D
I wish in the other videos, with this song in it's entirety, had this same ending...just with us hearing the girl singing a bit louder so we can hear what note she's hitting in the end.
blah the other lady looks to old and uptight. I'm glad this seems to be the more popular galadriel. she's really young for a queen but then elves are immortal so who knows if they ever really look older than 20... or 19? how ever old this actress is
i went to see this like 2 years ago, and it was also my first west end show that i went to see, i just had to go see it, as i am a HUGE TLOTR fan!!. and i honestly think it was AMAZING! cant wait for it to come back to London :D
@MelianEvenstar It's coming back to London?!?! I saw it 2 years ago also and LOVED it and my best friend never got to and is desperate to see it so I want to get him tickets. I read suggestions of its return to London but is it definitely returning now? Any idea when if so? =D
who is this character. she's not galadriel cause I've seen the other vids with galadriel in them and this isnt her so what other mystical matriarch of lorien is there which she is portraying? i never read the books so I wouldnt know and this is why I ask.
@bagonuts28 LOL! she is galadriel!! just played by another woman, and they changed the way she looked for the London Shows, the vids you have been looking at are of the Toronto Production, so it looks different.
I loooooooooooooove at the end when she belts out the final note and you hear Legolas from the side almost cascading with it. GOODNESS i love this song!
Wow. This song truly made me a believer that the show could be great. I've been reading some reviews that said the show was no good though. :( However most people posting on here seem to love it. I'm definitely sold on the music at this point.
@jedihillis Whoever said the show isn't good is mad :s My friend has just finished a performing arts degree (so has seen her fair share of plays) and agrees this is the best show ever. Its amazing get to see it on the world tour when you can!
No offense, but the Bishop Luers Minstrels soloist (while incredible by high school show choir standards) in no way outsang this woman...transcendent!
I saw this production in London and was amazed by how grand it all was. Great songs and performances. I loved it.
I believe they changed a few of the actors towards the end of the run, so it was good to see the original cast perform, including this lovely lady called Laura Michelle Kelly.
Oops, sorry typoes. i have a different translator thing, (mom got me it, must use!) so it says galaNdiel. but i guess your right. OH and whomever is chekcing the thumbs down on my comments. please stop, cuz i dont knwo why your doing it. its my free opinion.
@DazzledRose3193 no i know its about lord of the rings!!! i should have explained it really, i meant is it all 3 films in one musical? lol i must have sounded dumb before, sorry
This is the best song from the musical. Saw it twice wish it was coming back sooner than 2011!
Anyone who says they "Shouldn't have made a musical out of LOTR" should see it first before talking rubbish I'm a huge fan and the show (its not a muscial) blew me away!
its lady galandriel. from lothlorien. i worked with her for some time in my dramatic arts travels. XP only about a month or so. didnt "really" know her just mor elike "hey how ya doin?" kinda stuff. too many cast members! AK. i only really know her screen name though. never could catch real names, but i like screan names better anyway. poes that answer anything? O.o
You can see Legolas at 0:04 there's another (longer) video of Lothlorién with the part of Legolas in it too;) Try that one and you'll see plenty of Legolas ?:P
we have silks at my dance school and i tried that bit when she gets lifted up at 1:23 and its VERY painful, to think she sings wilst doin this aswell!!!!!! :o
Lucky!!!!!! i would give anything to meet laura. i think she is the most amazing singer of our generation, and as a singer i have made it my lifes goal to become half as good as she is. is she ever gonna be in a new show?
it looks amazing but i honestly think they wouldnt sound so happy right then i mean i know elves are really happy but they were like mourning gandalfs death and i mean seriously her voice i just dont picture it like an elves thats just me though it is really beatiful though shes a very good singer
Does anyone know where I can find the song from this musical called 'Saruman'? I am looking for the sheet music, and if I can't find it I will transcribe it myself, but I can't find the lyrics anywhere! The song is sung by Finnish group Varttina.
This was on at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London in 2007/2008. As far as i know this is the only stage version of Lord of the rings apart from a pervious one in Canada which there is no official soundtrack for. The CD should be avaliable from amazon or similar sites or maybe iTunes. Some of the composers are A.R. Rahman, Varttina and Christopher Nightngale if you need to google it. Hope that helps.
There are several stories that I can envision as a musical, but Lord of the Rings is not one of them. In fact probably the only reason why it has survived this long is because it has flashy special effects. I mean COME ON!! IT'S AWFUL!! It's uninspiring, it's a terrible bore, it's a mockery of the original story by Tolkien, IT'S AN ABOMINATION!!!!!!
I went to see this, I remember the effects and certain moments (hobbits in the audience catching fireflies, spider shooting venom and the orcs on stilts doing flip=overs), but I couldn't remember a single song in it...which isn't really a positive thing because- you supposed to go home humming stuff- but I didn't.

karooyo, in the book it says that Galadriel's voice is deeper than average, so certain parts of the song should be deep.

Does anyone know where I can find the song from this musical called 'Saruman'? I am looking for the sheet music, and if I can't find it I will transcribe it myself, but I can't find the lyrics anywhere! The song is sung by Finnish group Varttina.

This was on at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London in 2007/2008. As far as i know this is the only stage version of Lord of the rings apart from a pervious one in Canada which there is no official soundtrack for. The CD should be avaliable from amazon or similar sites or maybe iTunes. Some of the composers are A.R. Rahman, Varttina and Christopher Nightngale if you need to google it. Hope that helps.

i think they are trying to make it more popular. which is stupid
they are trying to make people who like musical theatre interested too.

There are several stories that I can envision as a musical, but Lord of the Rings is not one of them. In fact probably the only reason why it has survived this long is because it has flashy special effects. I mean COME ON!! IT'S AWFUL!! It's uninspiring, it's a terrible bore, it's a mockery of the original story by Tolkien, IT'S AN ABOMINATION!!!!!!
