I never understood why they didn't do dvd's in the quality of this clip for every Broadway show they produce. They could make so much money that way. Don't they realize, not everyone can see the real thing? And for those who can, they'll still see it, but also purchase something like this to remember it. There are so many shows i'd love to see, but can't see them cause i live on the other side of the United States. :(
what i love about galadriel in this song is that unlike in the movies, because of time, you really get to see how much she loves lothlorien. it is her creation and those that live there are her beloved ones.
Although storms may descend, Mountain and valley may quake. For the days that remain, This is the promise I make. No shadow fall across this land, Before the wind and fire I stand, And you my child will know no harm, Enfolded in my arms, Lothlórien!
Honestly thought this would be around for years to come. GUTTED that I missed it!! It looks and sounds simply gorgeous and should definitely return to the West End!!
When I first heard that LOTR I was a little iffy thinking we hardcore fans have gone a little to far but after much research and many hours in google I think entirely different now. I like how they used the ribbon dancing to represent the lightness in elves movements and idk something about Legolas singing seems so right. I PSSH im speechless!
1) Laura Michelle Kelly is drop-dead GORGEOUS; especially when she's blonde :3 2) Her voice is BEAUTIFUL 3) How the Fleck is she doing aerial work when she's singing like that!?! she's so amazing xx
So glad they released an offical video of this song, it's my all time favourite from the soundtrack, and was blown away by it the first time I heard it. Micheal Rouse's voice and portrayal of Legolas is simply wonderful
Laura Michelle Kelly looks and sounds like a goddess. This is absolutely beautiful. I play this song so much and I can't get over how amazing her voice is. Great melody and lyrics too. So ethereal. SO AMAZING.
Oh my god, this is so breathtaking beautiful, Laura Michelle Kelly has such a powerful and soothing voice... Still have shivers all over... Can't stop listening to it!
this guy is incredible - he sings like an angel - this is exactley how an elv would sound !! galadriel of course is fantastique as well! great voices & an astounding show...
Trust me, it was. My wife and I went to London just after Christmas 2007 and saw the matinee performance on Saturday, December 29th. We pretty much went just to see LOTR. It was magnificent.
@bwyfan19 Due to tickets, it simply wasnt covering the large amount paid out. Which I hated, I'm a young Drama student and I will tell you that this was for me, the MOST magical and fantastic show I will EVER see... I came out in love and I hope and pray, that this will grace our stages once more... It deserves it! Maybe on a certain aniversary of the Lord of the Rings!
I feel like this was amazing to see live. I always seem to find out about the best things after they end. Beautiful singing, amazing stage presence. All of it just looks so wonderfully amazing.
@aviva0017 No self-respecting Dramaturg would allow gibberish to be used in place of Elvish. It's definitely Tolkien's own Elvish. It's been a LOOONG time since I've translated any Elvish, but here's my translation: "Golden land! Oh, green radiance! With the grace of spring, Nimrodel (a river in Lorien) and grief passes. Oh, Golden land! Oh, Golden land! Golden land, oh green radiance! Dawn rises. Lothlorien!"
best london show i ever saw - the sets were fantastic and the audience participation magical. wish we could have seen it again - it closed far too quickly. Good musical memories on the CD and here on youtube, thanks.
How have I not come across this?! Wow. I have been remiss. This was absolutely wonderful to watch, and a real memory jerker. Having seen LOTR about 5 times now in London, Lothlorien is one of my favourite numbers, and it's GREAT to see footage online. Official footage too....which makes me wonder....DVD release....hmmm... Hope so!
@misskellyjoyce Oh, Tolkien never described Legolas (or any other character) properly. I think the quotes that gives hints about his looks is that he is "fair of face" like all elves and that he's "a strange elf clad in brown and green". There's also a passage when he shoots the fell beast when Frodo looks up at him and it says something like "the elf's head was dark, crowned with the night sky's silver stars". This is the line that most likely gave rise to the discussion about his hair colour.
Okay, I haven't read the books. But I have seen the movies and I respect them very highly. But this....this is incredible. This song is so beautiful and I think it shows the spirit of Middle Earth. As for people saying that this isn't a 'Tolkien vision', I respectfully say that this is how someone interpreted it, and that we all should respect this version. :)
This is such an amazing song!!! I always think i wont get chills and then BOOM she hits that high note and i get chills! It is so amazing its my ring tone too!!!!! HAHA i sing it so much i think i anoy everyone
the most beautiful musical i have ever seen, and I've seen a lot! I saw it twice and would love to see it again. Apparently there isn't a dvd available? if anyone knows differently Id love to find out!
:) saw this live about 3 years ago. atmosphere was incredible, the perfomance, stage. costumes, musical. wish I could go back to london nd watch some others, or even this if its still showing.
i saw this at the drury lane theatre in the west end it was the coolest musical i have ever seen. in the intermission orcs were going through the isles it was awesome.
Wonderful! Everytime I watch the "old" Video from the webside I wished to see Michael´s performance. Absolutly wonderful! Hope to see the Musical this year ...
Isn't it time someone put together all this footage and turned it into a DVD of the film. There is a soundtrack and I wil never understand why the final performance wasn't filmed and marketed. A gross oversight on someone's part and a real loss to all us lovers of LOTR.
Lord of the Rings was a great show, i was very sceptical before going to the show, but it did win me over. The problem really is, alot of people were put off if they have never read the books or seen the films so may find the show confusing. The fact that it was Lord of the Rings and people thought it may not be suitable for families. And the fact that it is such a technical production it needs a very large theatre, which means that there is always more seats which need to be filled
Omg I love this musical so much. I've seen it in London twice and would have gladly gone again if I could. I still listen to the cd a lot. There isn't a single song I don't like.
@Amocktus I'm not so sure. There is a huge demand for it amoung those of us who know of the show. I think that if enough LOTR groupies got togather it could work. This show is supposed to be the most amazing theater experince on earth.. it would be well worth the cost.
@RybakAndEdenLover You SHOULD meet her. Come to NYC and see her in Mary Poppins. She's returning July 19. She is wonderful in the role and she's a sweetheart! I've met her a few times. :D
@TheMickiRae Its not actually stated whether Legolas has blonde hair (Although I like him better with blonde hair :P) , but they just decided to make him dark for this adaptation.
This show actually ran for something over 300 performances. Had to to make up that 25 mil it cost. As an avid LOTR fan(movies, books, games) I wish that I was British and could have gone and seen this.
i went to see this in april with my drama college, i had heard it was going to e good but i had no idea it would be quiet as good as it turned out to be!! if u havent seen it then u must! it ends at the end of july!
Hey hey! :) Me too! I hope it's coming to Singapore too! :P There's hope I think... They're embarking on an Australia and Far East Tour. The last time I heard something like that was with Phantom back in 1995 which also did a Far East Tour and that included Singapore! Fingers crossed that this superb production comes to Singapore! :)
@donniedarko88888 Theature Royal Dury Lane in London. I live in Seattle but was on a school feild trip and whatched this show a few days before it closed. Absolutly Amazing!

@tongeli It was VERY expensive. The production cost $25 million to put on. I don't know the full extent of why they decided to discontinue the show, but I do know that the cost of it had something to do with it.
@Amocktus I was lucky enough to see this show in London a few days before the show closed while I was on a school trip from Seattle. Amazing and I hate musicals!
@Serena2009ification I know, I just meant the ending of the song, there are like three different recordings with three different musical endings to the end, and this is my favorite

this actor (legolas?) has such an incredicble, pure voice.
Not sure why they can't put this on dvd or blue-ray. They clearly had the needed audio and camera equipment.
So glad they released an offical video of this song, it's my all time favourite from the soundtrack, and was blown away by it the first time I heard it. Micheal Rouse's voice and portrayal of Legolas is simply wonderful

Love It:) I wonder why it never got popular, this play is so amazing.

This is the second musical that gives me chills, after Wicked.

Galadriel's voice is going to drive me to insanity. why can't i sing like that? my sister can. ugh. what torture.

Laura has a nice voice, great singer! plus, she is graceful
His voice is incredible! I think i'm in love.

And the fact that it is such a technical production it needs a very large theatre, which means that there is always more seats which need to be filled
I saw this ages ago, i dont really remember much of it apart from when the orks jumped of the stage and ran through the audience! it was epic :D
Omg I love this musical so much. I've seen it in London twice and would have gladly gone again if I could. I still listen to the cd a lot. There isn't a single song I don't like.
Really beautiful song, I love it. I'd like to see that show once...
There are no words.. The stage. I LOVE IT!
The stage is as cool as Lothlorien itself.
Elven music, :-) Love it
i really hope it'll come to singapore! this song's a killer! the elven language chorus is haunting me!!
Why couldn't I have lived in Britain (or afforded to go there) and discovered LotR in 2007-2008?! I wish I could see this whole musical!
i would love to see this amazing performance again!
@Amocktus I'm not so sure. There is a huge demand for it amoung those of us who know of the show. I think that if enough LOTR groupies got togather it could work. This show is supposed to be the most amazing theater experince on earth.. it would be well worth the cost.
I went to see this in London whilst it was on and it was brilliant, made for an amazing day out :D
wow the music for this is BEAUTIFUL! Now it makes me wanna go out and buy it...I wish this would come to broadway!
@RybakAndEdenLover You SHOULD meet her. Come to NYC and see her in Mary Poppins. She's returning July 19. She is wonderful in the role and she's a sweetheart! I've met her a few times. :D
I can't believe this MASTERPIECE of musical theatre is closing on July T_T I wish I could see it once more before it goes!
this show was sooooooooooooo amazing! i loved this part soooo much!
@TheMickiRae Its not actually stated whether Legolas has blonde hair (Although I like him better with blonde hair :P) , but they just decided to make him dark for this adaptation.

I saw it in toronto...it was so incredible!! I wish I could see it once before before it ended
This is phenomenal, and I personally like this ending better
i went to see this in april with my drama college, i had heard it was going to e good but i had no idea it would be quiet as good as it turned out to be!! if u havent seen it then u must! it ends at the end of july!
The show was amazing! Such a shame it closed down :( Would kill to see it again!
Legolas' voice is so mysterious -- it fits perfectly with the words. Anyone know where I can get the CD?
Her voice is beautiful. Love the flute.
Ditto on that... she has an astounding range...
Hey hey! :) Me too! I hope it's coming to Singapore too! :P There's hope I think... They're embarking on an Australia and Far East Tour. The last time I heard something like that was with Phantom back in 1995 which also did a Far East Tour and that included Singapore! Fingers crossed that this superb production comes to Singapore! :)
Ah god... I so wanted to see this musical, but in the end, I didn't go. Sucks. I think it would have been amaaazing and absolutely mindblowing.
I played Bilbo Baggins in a the hobbit play when i was a teenager it got me addicted to the lord of the rings saga
You mean Lothlorien. Lorien is Elfish for 'gold' :P
@donniedarko88888 Theature Royal Dury Lane in London. I live in Seattle but was on a school feild trip and whatched this show a few days before it closed. Absolutly Amazing!
OMG, THIS IS PERFECT, JUST PERFECT
This show is so amazing.
I love this song
Isn't it time someone put together all this footage and turned it into a DVD of the film. There is a soundtrack and I wil never understand why the final performance wasn't filmed and marketed. A gross oversight on someone's part and a real losses to all us lovers of LOTR.
How is it that you hold such awesome?
So much respect for you just because of 7
words.
This is beautiful!
@tongeli It was VERY expensive. The production cost $25 million to put on. I don't know the full extent of why they decided to discontinue the show, but I do know that the cost of it had something to do with it.
@Amocktus I was lucky enough to see this show in London a few days before the show closed while I was on a school trip from Seattle. Amazing and I hate musicals!
i hope they release the show on DVD if they d0on't plan on reopening it
This is like some insane love child of Cirque du Soleil and Andrew Lloyd Weber... I kind of love it...
Does anyone know where I can get the DVD for this? Thanks!
i wish i lived in london and could see this again....
Wish this show would come back already, 3 times wasnt enough!
bring this musical back to the UK!!!!!! please!!!!
it gives me goosebumps ever time!
do you now where it is still played? :x
sry.. for my bad english^^
but i would LOVE to see this musical :D
@TheFaenon there are other songs in the musical, in which they sing sindarin.. (:
beautiful
They should make a musical movie on DVD then, if it's too much for the theaters.
YAY full song
@aviva0017 There are real words, Tolkien created that language and it is definitely used. I don't know what they mean but it's Elvish
i really love this song. i love legolas' solo
Easily the best song from the musical
do you know if they are going to have a cd and or dvd come out?
or if not already have it out?
I love this song, too bad this show isn't in the US...
@TheFaenon It was actually quite successful when it played in London. :)
I could get lost in this music.
Galadriel is so gorgeous. I wish I could sing and look like her.
Dear Santa...
Amazing song!!!
@christrumpet1 its Sindarin or Quenia
i wish there was a love button
@Serena2009ification I know, I just meant the ending of the song, there are like three different recordings with three different musical endings to the end, and this is my favorite
Did Legolas sit on that vine or was it attached to him?
really? Not at all :( But how did the clips get released then, surely there must be footage somewhere
@Amocktus That looks hard. If you did that, wouldn't you be afraid of falling?
i love the intro
