Is it still true that they're trying for a tour in 2011 as it says on their site? Any idea if a DVD could come out. Ugh, I hate that I couldn't go to the Toronto show nor London. Damn America!
I think the London cast fit their parts soo much better than the Toronto cast! Especially Michael Rouse as Legolas in the london cast, he is absolutely amazing! Best voice of the whole cast! :D
wow, was that the crowning of Aragorn? geez how long is the play if they are doing all three books? Not to mention that it is a musical and they are usually around two and a half to three hours..... and that was only one LOTR film...I really wish this would come to the US
I think it's about 4 hours. :) I say, the longer the better! Although you gotta feel bad for the people in the balcony seats, craning their heads for that long.
Obviously NOT a good musical to bring the kiddies too. xD

i saw this show, some of it blew me away like the black riders and the balrog and the spider but some of it like helms deep with the floor moving constantly arounfd and up and down seemed too unnecessary
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!!!!
not sure what the main reason was, but one of the big reasons was because the set was built specifically for the theatre it was performed in. so if they wanted to go touring or move to a new theatre, they'd have to rebuild everything.
I wish an orc had popped out at me (though at the time I admit I was terrified that one was going to). My family's hopping to go back to London this summer to see it one more time. What's funny is I'm not much of a LOTR fan and we went for my brother's sake. I left captivated (I'm a theatre nerd) and LOVE this now
i am going again next month and am taking my daughter.cant wait to see it again its amazing,and i cant believe its closing early because of bad reviews.you critics have no taste.
I thought the show was awsome but I didnt expect the changes that were not in Peter Jackson's version I hope that if it come to Braodway they will do exactly s it all says in the book I think the movie is deeper.
the problem is that its sooooooooooooooooo expensive to run and make so they'll might finish it in London then ship all the stuff over to the us so you can enjoy it!
It won't ever play in a Broadway house. Critics would be brutal plus no Broadway theatre is available for a show this size. Gershwin has Wicked and The Hilton has Young Frankenstein.
You're so lucky, I wanted to see this so bad! So here I am stuck watching bits of it online. *sigh* Maybe someday, if it ever comes to Broadway... *is hopeful*
Can anyone tell me the song that starts at 2:43 ?

What song from the soundtrack is that at 1:26? Is it a fancy orchestral version of the Epilogue? Or something they didn't include on it?

There are about 40 minutes left off the soundtrack.

I went to see it, not expecting to like it because to me it just didn't seem like a good concept, LOTR on stage with music!
However, I loved it, it was amazing-i was glad to be proved very wrong!
Though, sitting in an aisle seat n having an orc attack you is really not a pleasant experience... lol

I'm going to see it a 2nd time and I can't wait. Everything about this play is breath-taking.
It's well worth it.
