Hello to every user on YouTube. I just wish to say that I saw recently saw the touring production in Denver and got a backstage tour! TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
oh dear god! The rotating floor and stair case! WOW! I'm a huge fan of theatre, and even helped build some sets, so HOLY CRAP! Props (no pun intended) to you guys!
I have to point this out but the lyrics are wrong for the song. 2:54 its not supposed to be "the Circle of Life" According to the offical Soundtrack of the NY Broadway Production it should say "Til we find our way on the path unwinding in the circle the circle of life...circle of life." ive seen this play 3 times and also own the soundtrack cd.
@howardkevinm It is because in the London production they made many changes and removed 10 minutes of the show and added that verse to the Finale. The Finale that you see in this video is the one that is now preformed on Broadway, London, and Vegas eight times a week.
@MovieDudeProductions yeah, thanks for saying why they added the verse at 2:54. I saw this in NYC in August and I had the song on my iPod back then, so when 2:54 happened, I was like, "Whoa, wait, what?!?! This wasn't on the CD" O_O
That's a great musical and a very impressive performance. I first saw it in Hamburg several years ago (2001 or so). All songs were translated to German but I have to admit that they did a good job with this, retaining the meaning of the songs.
Love, love this video. I went to see this with my dad in omaha, neb. And love it when Simba's mom and Nala bowed to simba, the future king. Its so breathtaking and powering. Love Disneys The Lion King
Agreed with the top comment, if I do blind and can't see the movie.... by listening to the soundtrack, arrangement and the score. I know it's an epic movie that people should look and listen at!
This was probably THE best show I've ever seen. Maybe I'm being biased a little because The Lion King is my favorite ever Disney movie, but the show was freaking AMAZING. I was literally speechless when it ended.
I remember when I saw the show in New York how I was pleased to see Sarabi play an important role, especially in the end! But I didn't see her in that clip, that's too bad, but it's still a good show.
i seen it when it was in toledo back about 3 years ago great show was worth it ild reccomend this show to anybody thanks to people like you people can relive it even if its just a short piece thank you for posting this
1:22 and 1:55 are the best parts:) and this circle of life version is the best version i have ever heard:) i saw this show wonderful i cried so much because it was so good:)
I didn't know they alowed cameras inside the venue? How were you able to record this video? I just wanna know coz I am gonna see this show in 2 weeks and I wanna take videos too
I really wish this song on the soundtrack was like in the show. I love them doing a more complete version of a Circle of Life reprise like in this. Can't stop listening to this.
@Rallikt I agree I have the Broadway Cast Recording & I wish it had the full Circle Of Life Reprise If you purchase the South African Cast Recording it was recorded live so it has the complete circle Of Life Reprise I purchased mine on EBAY for only £2.00
haha seems like Rafiku stole the show judging by the amount of applause she got >.< jk, I love this musical!! It's just wonderful, I can't describe it
HOW COULD U SAY THIS IS GAY!?!?!?! its beautiful.! ok they show the people and they r supposed to be animals it just shows beautiful costumes.plus i LOVE the cheetas and giraffes
@dreadlife Yes, you can say whatever you want, I have nothing against that. I just think that you should keep your comments to yourself, because none of us really care.
I saw it yesterday and it was amazing! costumes were also pretty amazing by themselves! :D and was this video from the norfolk crysler hall? it looks like it but im pretty sure our pride rock didnt come out of the stage like that lol Great play! Loved it!
Love it! Good job on filming. Very crisp and audible. I love the music. I didn't really hear Mufasa's last words in the end of this. One thing that seperates them from the other productions I have seen. And two of the productions I saw, the London and Seattle one, were too fast. They sped through their lines. And in the last production in Portland, Oregon, Young Simba tripped over a couple of his lines. Still an amazing show.
@luvmissrose doh! in the movie all the animals are there at the end, and disney insist that the stage show reflects the movie, as most of the cast play animals and its the finale what did you expect an empty stage!
@garrychelsea Well in the beginning of the play, there was an organization to where the animals were on stage, but in this scene, they were sort of just thrown about randomly... It just annoyed me
The one problem I had with the play was this scene. His acension as king in the play simply failed to have the same emotional impact that the movie did.
I mean the play was still fantastic, but I thought this scene could have been better.
@dashizzle1985 Wtf.... how is this horrible? this is a peice of art, do you know how long it took them to do this? can you do better? you MUST be blind
how were you able to sneak you camera into the show? I remember when I went to New York to see the show last month , they told us the cameras were forbidden into the show.
I don´t know the broadway version, only the hamburg and there isn´t a roar too. I think it´s normal, but for me its the only one critical point in the whole musical
@animallover2047 I got it, before I saw the play i believe, and It all of a sudden effected me after the show. So, It's basically not the play's fault!!!!!!!!! Got it memorized?
@702sunnydelight YAY!!!! she bought me and her two tickets!!!!!!!! and great seats too. this is my early sweet 16 present. (We are going to see it in October, andmy b-day isn't till November.)
Anyone know who the cast was?
