i might be seeing it in chicago this november! but can anyone tell me, is it the same show that came out in 1998, or different?

@RainbowCuppercake

It's pretty much the exact same show. There have been a few minor tweaks since the very first run of this show in 1998 (and also some changes that occur when hosting the show in a touring theater vs. on Broadway where the show is permanent) but if it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess ;) Hope you can see the show later this year, it truly is an experience of a lifetime.

Can any1 tell me the guy's name at 7:37?

[lionking300]

That is Roger Wright, the longtime Simba lead in London. One of the very best to ever play that role, IMO.
