Whoever played Scar in the musical you are an amazing singer and you pull off the role of Scar perfectly. Your character to me is the best part of the story!
Sheri E thanks for saying that :D cause my class r gonna have a production of the lion King, and I'm gonna be scar! I'm learning this song for the play
The Rainbow Stampede my class,p4b and p4a and p5b and p5a are doing a production of as well but I'm not scar .we are doing it on Wednesday 14th June and Thursday 15June2017.
Much agreed, I got the privilege of playing Scar I'm my theatres production of TLK, and it was hands down my favorite solo to sing to this day. And I also agree be prepared is the best disney villain song
All y'all hating on this guy, why? Maybe you think the original is better, but you can't go on a rant expressing why this guy is untalented! In fact, this guy had to go on a stage in front of thousands nightly!
My choir class is taking a trip next year to New York and I am just so excited! Even the slightest mention of Broadway gets me excited because we are going to be taught by one the people from Broadway and see a show! This just gets me so ecstatic.
@@brandongonsalves9883 If they did that they would probably get a lot of shit for not having all of the lions be portrayed by black actors because of African culture or something. People get really annoyed when it comes to the Disney "live action" movies and representation even if the characters are animated.
People need to consider that this is a stage play. Jeremy Irons didn't have to worry about the volume of his voice when recording in a studio, but this guy has to be loud enough for the people at the back to hear. Elevating your voice while singing can prove difficult if you're trying to maintain a character's voice, which is why stage plays are a lot more enthusiastic in their approach than movies/tv and audio stories. Comparing this to the original is like comparing tomatoes to brocoli.
Once you've grown up with Jeremy irons' voice for scar you simply can not imagine scar with another voice and that is why I think the animated one is better
To add to this point, not even Jeremy Irons could keep up the performance. Two-thirds of the way through, his voice failed, and Jim Cummings took over.
I did Scar a couple of years ago and it´s true that maintaining the character´s voices while singing in the stage, is really difficult. But still this version is very weak compared to the movie. Not only because of the actor´s voice, but because the instrumental part is not as "epic" as it could be. Nevertheless I think the Broadway Lion King is amazing.
I know what you mean. I was excited about the remake of the song until I finally listened to it. It was short and the way what's his name sang it wasn't pleasant at all. However, I did like the ending where scar and the hyenas were chanting be prepared and the epic music playing in the background.
omg so the movie sounds like the carribeans and south africa but this musical live version sounds like we're in LOUISIANA! I LOVE IT!!! sometimes I wish i grew up there!
This one has got to be by far one of my favorites. It’s not Jeremy Irons man, and that’s fine. The broadway interpretation of scar over exaggerated his character and gave him a more booming presence BECAUSE it’s a stage performance. I personally love what John Vickery does here. They took scar’s sarcastic, posh, snobby, whiny persona and thought it would work. And it did! Sorta I mean.. when I first listened to this I was thrown off guard. It’s way more peppy and zany than the original. The original was dark, it was sinister, we all know this. Even though it’s different, it pays attention to detail. Some renditions of this song completely blow over some of the details. You see a heavy metal cover of this song and people are like “YEEEAAAAH BRO THIS IS SO GOOD FRETSTSTSS YOU SHOULD BE SCAR” Scar WAS whiny and bratty in the original, but he was much more soft spoken in the 1994 film. Doing a voice recording of a softer more darker voice is precisely the kind of thing you should use in a recording studio. It’s clear, it’s crisp, you have all the material you need to alter it and make it stand out. In Broadway, you gotta be moving. CONSTANTLY. It’s not just about the voice, it’s about the projection, your gestures, body language, how much emphasis you really put on a cue or a point in a line or a verse of a song. I also love how the instruments were used here. It’s almost an homage to the original’s instrumentals, an exaggerated caricature of the orchestral arrangement from the original film. But they also add their own little spikes. The African vibes aren’t just there, they play around with them. The drums, the accordions. The horn instruments, the marimba, but my favorite? The Fucking Hyena chorus we got going on here! From the sinister, ominous “Eee’s” in the introduction of the song while scar gives off his little poem, the “Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi’s” the chorus chants at 1:02, The harmonies in the final verses, the hum’s, etc. Seriously, whenever they sing “Be Prepared”, the chorus hits extreme notes and harmonies. The sopranos are almost screeching but it isn’t unpleasant, not one bit.. to me at least. It can get a little irritating when you wear headphones but I absolutely love it. I also would like to comment on John Vickery’s voice, a compliment if you will. See, Jeremy Irons low, crisp vowels and growls are impressive, and I’ve been able to visualize others who could pull off scar. Keith David, Jim Cummings wouldn’t be too shabby but he’d still be a bit more high pitched than iron’s (and y’all know he sang the final verse in the film since Iron’s voice gave out) But vickery’s posh and gravel can really hook someone’s attention. It’s humorous, and Scar honestly sounds more King-like and entitled in this version. Hearing this for the first time, my initial thoughts were “The Hyena Chorus? Golden.” “The instruments? A little fast paced but it’s so beautifully carried out and well performed” “Scar’s voice? SUCKS.” But listening to this version over and over really got me thinking.... the orchestra and instruments in this version compliment and suit how scar’s actor is portraying him. Listen to the instrumentals here, and then the instrumentals for the original. The original is darker and more malicious, much like Jeremy Iron’s voice. The orchestra here is more like a mischievous conga Chant, and sticks to the roots of African music and culture (there are some more general instrumentals here like horn instruments and bass guitar) There’s heavy Djembe use here (I think... it could be another type of drum) along with the military march drums in the middle and near the end. We teach the general “Middle” when we enter the dialogue portion of the song, the hyenas confused on scar’s intentions and unable to see through his code, for his use of bold and high intellect grammar are way over their heads, which gives scar a free pass to insult his potential army because he knows that they’ll only use their full potential and come as useful for him if they’re thrown under his leadership. He knows they’re starving, only having the bare minimum of food supply. Bones don’t exactly cut it for a fulfilled diet. This also leads to why I kind of understand why a majority of the verses were cut out in the 2019 version of Be prepared. Scar is under the mercy of the Hyenas, but is slightly above them in position and insight. Thus, he can’t call them stupid because they’ll catch on rather quick and maul him there and be done with it, DESPITE their need for a larger food supply. It’s also more realistic given that Hyenas are far more intelligent in real life then how they are depicted in the film, as well as the broadway performance. Another point I wanna address is how you could make the comparison that this scar sounds an awful lot like a portrayal of Zazu more than anything else. I understand that, and John Vickery would probably make a good zazu, but some other adjustments would need to be made to the other songs and casting calls if that decision was made. Vickery has a deeper voice so they’d probably need a pitch change in just can’t wait to be king, but that requires the simba actor to use much higher vocals than capable, and it would be very difficult to find someone who has a deep voice and can sing this song AND project... listing out the complications is for lack of a better word... complicated! Besides, this is all theoretical on my end. However, I appreciate this scar voice. I love it. It’s for broadway afterall, and I can understand that certain things just click. There’s probably an actor out there who does sound like the original scar and has sung be prepared much like Iron’s did. But this is the original cast recording, and we didn’t get that. That being said, it’s alright! This version has its own potential. It’s The Lion King but that doesn’t mean it can’t bend the rules a little bit. It would be flippin awesome to see the original Be prepared portrayed on stage if done right, but they went for a different approach on the song in this one. Also this is a personal preference but I’m loving those Hyena designs, like you have no idea. I love how the lions are given a human approach, still having the masks on top of the head but coming down when they’re angered or engage in combat. The hyenas are savage and act more animal like than the lions of the pride do. Thus, aside from design choices of giving a hunch to the hyenas because of their natural anatomy, (hyenas have longer necks as you know), it could be symbolic that they’re more primal than the Lions. A lot of things are over exaggerated in this show, and it goes beyond just this song. I’m not a fan of how they did Zazu! I also dislike how Ed was designed and I don’t like the performance Timon’s actor pulled off. Would be cool to see Nathan Lane do Timon on stage, like the one time Whoopi Goldberg was on stage for the lion king. THAT was cool. I think I’m tired of rambling about this, so if you’ve got your own slice of opinion, throw em at me.
Such an underrated comment. Seriously bro, you should make critics about songs and their compositions, from Broadway or even from the music industry in general, it was so pleasant to read all of it.
J G C Dude, Bro, My home slice, my MAN. You just made my night (or morning since it’s 1 am) I literally thought “Oh pfft this is an older video and on top of that how many people are listening to Be Prepared? The broadway version?” Not saying that it’s bad, as you saw what I had to say about it But yknow, Lion King left it’s mark with “The Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Matata” and “Just Can’t Wait To Be King” I mean you get it, Be prepared is kind of obscured.. yknow? I don’t think families who belong to the colt following that IS Disney are singing along to this musical number The scene from the movie and the song alone inspired me from an early age to try and create something or express myself in whatever way I could muster some day. I’ve got a long road ahead of me, and your comment just warms my heart (that sounded weird lol Imma weirdo) Thanks dude, really appreciate what you said. You’re great, and a compliment can go a long way. Gracias, Merci, etc.
To me the Lion King musical is the only Lion King remake ever created I have forgotten about the Lion King remake. This musical is amazing I have seen it two times and really love this musical I would love to go again sometime.
The faster tempo really brings it up over the movie for me. I also love the way Scar shouts, "SALUTED!" which really hones in on the fact that the only reason he really wants to be king is so that he can finally earn respect from his peers. I mean come on! His biological name, Taka, means 'waste'. And am I the only person who imagines him dancing with a boater on him Return of the Pink Panther-like from 2:45-3:05 ,then it goes to dark only seeing Scar and the hyenas by their eyes and their teeth from 3:06-3:10 and then from 3:11-3:23 it's just the scene from the movie
My favourite musical hands down, I first saw it when I was 8, and to this day it's still unforgettable (I'm nearly 16 now) Also HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE COSTUMES?? Normally you'd go for the approach and just dressing as lions, but no they went all the way with making wooden heads of the characters (Mufasa and Scar's masks even move to cover their faces when they lower their heads) And the clothing they wear has a very authentic African feel to it Pure artistry
As much as I love this song , when I saw this about a year ago I just didn't think it was vocally big enough, that's where the original really does it for me. I'm off to see it on the west end in like 2 days , not that there'll be any difference but it should still be amazing 😇
Do people who trash him for not being Jeremy Irons even know how idiotic they sound? Irons couldn't even record the whole song, despite being able to do endless takes, and couldn't possibly have played the role 8 times a week. Also, this is BASED on the movie with significant changes. But anything that lifts you up, I guess. Even if it's hating on a 25 year old recording.
Fun fact: the VA for Scar actually threw out his voice when he sang “you won’t get a sniff without me!!!” and then the guy who plays Tigger from Winnie The Pooh (Jim Cummings) filled in for him for the rest of the song.
I'm gonna be honest I personally prefer Jeremy Irons voice as Scar. His voice perfectly represents the character of Scar and love his version of this song over all others. That being said I gotta give credit where credit is due and say that this guy is very talented and doing mind his version of scar and believe the character some justice. A great pick and doesn't deserve hate. And no matter what you say, this version of the song doesn't suck balls compared to the remake. Remake could suck an egg
Noah Larson for one no one fricken asked you. Also, I would LOVE to hear and see you sound and act EXATLY like the hyenas. Plus going on tour in different cities and states, getting used to different stages, and also not losing your voice or messing up or forgetting your lines That’s what I thought
The Lion King is my all time most favorite movie ever since I was little! I have never seen the musical but I would absolutely love to! My little brother likes going to the zoo, so instead of going to the musical, we go to the zoo. At least I'm able to see real lions. :)) My point is, I really really really would do anything to see this musical!!
This version of Be Prepared sung by Scar was preceded by a soliloquy like the 1994 soundtrack version of The Lion King which was only on the soundtrack and not in the final film itself.

Yeah, what a nice song this is, as it is resung in the musical.
I suppose the actor who protrayed Scar is definitely a great tenor singer👍🏼🎼🎵🎶
This is the cast recording and he was played by John Vickery
I loved this song so much as a kid that it made me cheer for Scar. I still think he's the best Disney villain
Kim playing him in my school play. scar for the win

Even the Broadway version is better than the new one.
The new one is honestly really boring. Wish they had Jeramy Irons return for Scar.
XFabulous Cats they also made the new song so short. It turned into slam poetry instead of a musical.
I kinda liked the new one but I do like this one
I love the new one, but love this one even more.

He's supposed to be proud and bigoted. And bigots never get it right.

In the remix,the hyenas are smarter
Precisely why the lyrics were changed in the remake.
Okay so my school did this last year and I've always loved how the Hyena's part sounds in the background starting 2:45
I'd rather listen to this and the original song from the movie rather than the one from the remake....
For real I was just saying that even the musical did a better job and they actually used the song
I know what you mean. I was excited about the remake of the song until I finally listened to it. It was short and the way what's his name sang it wasn't pleasant at all. However, I did like the ending where scar and the hyenas were chanting be prepared and the epic music playing in the background.

@@parthachoudhury5903 haha i know, deleted the comment, im not a fan of lion king anymore lol idk why
I quote this song daily!!!
I saw this musical in Minneapolis, Minnesota when it was on tour.
Scar is my third favourite Disney villain! And trust me, it is really difficult to make a list of my favourite characters from highest to lowest.
I really hope we will see Scar on Once Upon a Time
sari Echelon omg yessss in human like form😲 season 7? I didn't really like jackle and hide😑
kim Bijlsma yeah but the current storyline is amazing
sari Echelon true
Why people hate it? I love tbh 😂
Definetely the best character
I saw Lion King on broadway in 2017 with my choir. I loved it!
As much as I love the original, i love this version, too! 😍😍
When Scar says "Just listen to teacher", it sounds like a teacher is speaking.
That ending, wow
0:33 This Music Is Funky. Thanks Mate. X
Love that marimba!
Scar is my favorite Disney villain of all time
This is my favorite song from the movie!

I was cast as Scar in a local Jr version, so excited!
Ok so Im playing scar in a thing for choir, and this video helped me a lot when I forgot my music in my locker. Thanks.
Fun fact: the VA for Scar actually threw out his voice when he sang “you won’t get a sniff without me!!!” and then the guy who plays Tigger from Winnie The Pooh (Jim Cummings) filled in for him for the rest of the song.
long live the king!
This version and the original are both a *thousand* times better than 2019 version!
love so much this version
this is AMAZING
Woow!🥺🥺🥹🥹
Easily the best villain song of all time.
I'm gonna be honest I personally prefer Jeremy Irons voice as Scar. His voice perfectly represents the character of Scar and love his version of this song over all others. That being said I gotta give credit where credit is due and say that this guy is very talented and doing mind his version of scar and believe the character some justice. A great pick and doesn't deserve hate. And no matter what you say, this version of the song doesn't suck balls compared to the remake. Remake could suck an egg
I love this song!! :D
The Hyenas sound like the Teen Girl Squad.
The who?
Noah Larson I know right. corn is no place for a mighty warrior
Noah Larson for one no one fricken asked you. Also, I would LOVE to hear and see you sound and act EXATLY like the hyenas. Plus going on tour in different cities and states, getting used to different stages, and also not losing your voice or messing up or forgetting your lines
That’s what I thought
He just said it sounds like a Group,No need to get triggered.
Love it! What a great movie. Would love to watch the Broadway show. Heard it's awesome!
I'm going to see the lion king in May and I just can't wait to see it also it's my birthday tommorow
The voice sounds exactly like scar cant wait to watch it on Broadway
I want to go to the broadway so bad!!!

I love this song this is the best song in lion king
I've always thought they sing 'It's great that we'll soon be protected" like for 25 years.
Our spring show and I am Scar :D
I love this guys voice he sounds aggrant,snobby,prideful and sly just like irons scar but much more evil
My favorite lion king character is shenzi
Even though she’s ferocious, whoopi Goldberg gave her a sassy, seductive and comedic voice
So prepare because I am the bad guy
Be prepared for me to do bad guy things!
Where did that come from?
My favorite Disney movie lion king
This song is epic i know this song I sing this all the time :3
The Lion King is my all time most favorite movie ever since I was little! I have never seen the musical but I would absolutely love to! My little brother likes going to the zoo, so instead of going to the musical, we go to the zoo. At least I'm able to see real lions. :)) My point is, I really really really would do anything to see this musical!!
I literally feel the same thing like I would do anything to see this show or even perform in it if my school ever did it
+Jasmine Hebert My school are
+XTREME Robo no fricking way LUCKY 😣
My Name Ain't Yo Damn Business bring tissues when you get to see it :')
the 1994 version along with this way better than the 2019 version
*this is a m a z i n g*
Love the song and I always love scar. Best uncle in the world (jk). :D

this is great
This version of Be Prepared sung by Scar was preceded by a soliloquy like the 1994 soundtrack version of The Lion King which was only on the soundtrack and not in the final film itself.
