This Christine LaFond is amazing! Kinda sick of people constantly bringing up Eden simply because they are obsessed with Wicked. This Christine girl can flat-out sing the hell out of this. Now I would like to see HER in Wicked or something never done before.
@MissRachel15, Pocahontas would be amazing on broadway, but I totally agree with you, it needs to be done the right way. I saw Eden Espinosa in Wicked (Idena must have been sick or something), and she was amazing. She would be interesting to hear do Pocahontas again ten plus years after this. I also think they should put in If I Never Knew You and In the Middle of the River, but I'm not sure if there really needs to be two love songs. Anyway, I've rambled on long enough.
I love the show! I wish i was born before 1995 so i could have seen the show but o well, that didnt happen but at least someone taped it! Thank you so much!
with mermaid they tryed too hard and just didnt work out. they need to do ones more like lion king costume wise that pulls the visual off and goes with the theme. like this does. the animals are done useing native american addaptions by useing real looking animal skins. and a big winer is the wolf with the moon at 3:06-3;16 just add a good wolf howl in the back round and BOOm you got Ny matirial right there.
I agree, this needs to be on Broadway, but it needs to be done right. I think that Pocahontas would need a lot of reworking in order for it to recieve the justice it deserves to have theatrically. I saw Lion King and it was fantastic - it'd be cool if Pocahontas was done the same way.
I don't know if you know, Mulan had a stage production in I think the Disneyland Paris park (In the US, there were parades), Hunchback had a really nice production in I think Germany (they also had shows for the theme parks and at least a small parade in Disneyland), Hercules had parades in the US but also a stage production with the Disney Cruise Lines.
Hunchback of Notredame was turned into a show in Germany. It's supposed to come to broadway possibly this year. And Prince of Egypt is not a Disney movie. But I could see it becoming a show. I used to love that movie when I was little.
well it would still be stage matirial if done right. when i said movies i ment over all not just disney an other good one if they did it like the old film with Gene Wilder is Willy Wonka
in the six months.. i did a little research...and yes i saw here live there.. and animazement.. as a painter. and NOT as pocahontas... altho she did do pocahontas.
Let me get this straight, you're saying Eden played Pocahontas in this show. But she played a painter in Animazement? But there's a youtube video saying their "Animazement Trio" video features Eden...
Yes she played Pocahontas in "The Spirit of Pocahontas" and I also saw her play a painter in Animazement and there is a youtube video with her in animazement with her featured as a painter.... but it couldve been that she also was pocahontas in animazement, because disney switched its perfomrers around a lot.
I don't know if you're comparing this performance to WICKED, but they are both different types of musicals and maybe that's where opinions differ?? Maybe it's the audio from a VHS, to mini DV, to youtube... I really can't say. Plus this show was performed almost 12 years ago.
That is true. I remember the last time we went to Disneyland in California before we moved. I was 8 then and I am now 20. I tried to pick up some of the leaves they drop but after seeing it was just paper I left them there. Other people did though
This is almost definitely Eden. Her voice isn't as developed yet, but if you listen you can pick up on little bits that are her future singing traits.
Just a note: Not that many people can sing colors of the wind right
