Finally a singer that could give Mufasa that authoritaritan he should have as a "king".. Not like some others that make him sound like a 15-year old boy =(
I saw this show live when I was in high school! Ever since then I can't help but to compare live plays to it, this show inspired me to get into theatre and I hope to someday write, produce and direct something this memorable.
ahhh this brings back memories i done a acting class with them over in new york for two days was amazing........ thenwatched there show i learned this song with them too..... xx
@isarya6249 It was actually the other way around - this song (and the reprise) was originally created for the Broadway show (technically before that for the album "Rhythm of the Pride Lands" - the opening track) and ended up being used in the opening for Lion King II since it was such a powerful and awesome song :)
I remember seeing this cast when I was little. My mom told my teacher I'd miss school that day and took me to New York with some of her friends (who I'd grown up with) to see it. It was the first time I'd ever seen a stage show, let along a musical of this magnitude, live. I even had one of those red t-shirts with Rafiki's Simba drawing and "My first Broadway show". I need to see this again. It won't be the same, of course, but I still do.
Samuel E. Wright - They Live in You 3:01 mp3 - Найдите и послушайте. Гараздо лучше без женского вокала. Но я не уверен, что это действительно Samuel E. Wright.
Everyone in this is so gifted I swear I'm like mesmerized watching this... I saw this when I was way little & it was INCREDIBLE I know because I can still remember parts of it. But Scar scared me when he changed Simba's face. I want to see this again, the African music/singing gets to me and the all of the dancers movement, it's all so perfect & absolutely incredible.
@singeatsleep Fun fact - This Mufasa was actually the voice for Sebastien the crab in Disney's The Little Mermaid :P If you listen closely, it's almost like Sebastien is singing to Simba haha
I don't think he killed himself because he was gay. because i left something on his blog of death and someone knew his family on there and said it was because of crystal or drinking.
Ah..honestly I'm gonna say this again Toronto cast nailed it. This guy's voice is too powerful for the role, our Simba (older one) had a voice that matched the personality of the character. A voice that was caught between a boy and a man.
oooh, that was an awkward pause when the song finished and the audience weren't applauding right away....they should, I would have been busting some moves in the aisle when the song finished
oh my god this is incredible! They're all amazing but the guys vocals at the end are better than any singer ive seen in any band, and ive seen a lot of live bands!
I could listen to the segment from 3:05 to 3:14 on loop forever. The power with which Jason Raize delivers is incredible. Unfortunately, I watched this on Broadway well after his passing and didn't get to experience his stage presence/talent first hand. It's a shame there was so much turmoil in his life. R.I.P.
it's been more than a couple of years that I've been coming back to watch this video. Each time, I really feel sad for Jazon Raize. Such great talent!
@dewdropsonroses Me neither. I've watched this so many times in the past couple weeks. There is so much magic going on in this performance. Unprecedented magic.
wow I had no idea Ashley Artus had performed on Broadway and on the Rosie o Donnel program. he is currently touring the UK with Lynne Wilmot, John Owen Jones and Gareth Gates in LesMis. Fab actor as thsi very clip shows.
is it me or is there something wrong with the sound, all i can hear is fuzzing all the time, very bad actually, bad sound quality, cant hear a fucking word of it.
@notimeforgoodbye1 I have no idea what happened, but click the link in the description to go to the correct video. It was working fine for almost 4 years, so it mst be some kind of bug with Youtube :(
They're coming to Chicago in September!! So excited, I FINALLY after all these years get to see it!! They were here before but I was so young when they left, never got to chance to ask my parents to take me.. I just wish I would have gotten the chance to see the original cast :(
i went to see this play on bradway and it was absolutely amazing!!! i had the best expierence and i would suggest anyone who likes musicals to go and see this!
@ernesthroopi think it was originally written for this performance as it is performed twice in the show. They used a shorter version that is used in TLK 2
