It's a totally awesome performance! Extremely touching and better than the animated Disney movie. Definitely worth the ticket price, too. I saw this play a couple of months ago at Minskoff Theatre, NYC and cried. It's that emotional! I was the first person to jump up and clap for the standing ovation that night. The talented acting and dancing; the costumes; the props--and the music is what really did me in. This was the most beautiful performance I've ever seen. A must-see for sure!!!
This was technically the first Broadway show I ever saw, even if it was the tour cast, and I loved it! I will always have a special place in my heart for The Lion King.
Yes it is, Simba puts the headpiece back on Mufasa just as the lights dim at the end of that scene. It's a very powerful moment of the play when Mufasa takes his mask off to talk to his son.
Me too, i saw it when my high school choir class went to L.A. nd we saw the tour cast. My first broadway show(tour) i will never forget seeing. Simply amazing =)
i can't wait to see this play for the second time. this is my favorite movie and on of my FAAAAAV plays. The loin king play started on Minnesota!! GO MINNESOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
Yeah, I did notice that! It seemed like they just took a bunch of stock clips that I've seen in other documentaries and the TLK DVD and combined them with the stuff they did. I guess most people wouldn't know the difference!
@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.
Just to let everyone know, Part II of this show has been reposted! Check it out on my channel or under the "related" links in the video list. Thanks for watching and enjoy!
In 1982 some political group in the city decided Seattle's nickname as the "Emerald City." I guess because of all the evergreen trees and natural beauty that we supposedly have here. I guess there could be worse city nicknames.
Créeme, lo es. Me hubiera gustado verlo con los actores originales, los primeros que hubo en Broadway (sobretodo me hubiera gustado ver a Jason Raize), pero en fin... me pillaba muy pequeña. xD Voy a ir este Septiembre a Londres, y tengo intención de pasarme por el West End a verlo. No es Broadway, pero también mola. xD

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

go see it. don't question yourself about seeing it. don't think about not seeing it. It is amazing. a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
Wow, this is an awesome video. I LOVED this production. Did you notice that when Rufus Bond, Jr. comes up, his character "Mufasa" is spelled "Mafasa"
