Looking for TLKoB midis

[HasiraKali]

Hmm... I don't remember who my first Nala was. And my Playbill is packed away. :(

[Zaya]

Guess TLKoB virgins are rare around here :confused:, and we already posted so many pics and everything...any idea ;)

[HasiraKali]

Hmm... I'm having all kinds of weird images running through my poor sleep-deprived head right now. :lol: So here's Josh Tower...

[Zaya]

Oh, that looks nice ;)

I'm going for the whole production here, found some "copyrighted" theatre pics on the net that actually looked alright:

This is apparently the London cast:

And this one of the US touring casts...it's small and stuff, but I like the colors soooo much

And another one, think it was the London cast too:

[HasiraKali]

Where'd you find those? I've seen the first one but not the other two. :D

[Zaya]

Aha! It was somewhere on webshots, someone took those pics with a NEW camera and they turned out nice...lemme try and find that link

Finally!:

[HasiraKali]

I found some more pictures. :D

Simba from Hamburg says "Yes!" :lol:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/Image26.jpg

A German Zazu for Gaz. ;)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/Image1j3.jpg

And German Scar has a goofy look on his face in this one. :lol: And Timon looks like Elphaba.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/Imaglke22.jpg

[Zaya]

Where did you get the Hamburg Simba ;)
Uh, Scar, scary rather than goofy, lol and Timon really does look "Wicked" :lol:

[HasiraKali]

That picture came from a site called thatmusical.de this page (http://www.thatsmusical.de/news/weiter/2/) The google images search page showed a really cool picture of Scar and Nala too but I couldn't find it on the site. :(

[Zaya]

I'm browsing that site, but can't find anything else either...maybe they've already put it away...so HK, when are you planing to go to the stage door again? Isn't the company leaving on the 21st?

[HasiraKali]

I might go on Wednesday. I want to go on the 21st after the show too but I don't know when they're actually leaving. I know they have a few days off before the next stop but who knows. If I don't make it, that's ok though since I accomplished my goal. :D

[Zaya]

Oh, nooo, I thought your goal was to be friends with Wallace the great ;)

[HasiraKali]

Yeah that too. :lol: I want to tell him how big a fan I am too.

[Zaya]

haha, worship him and stuff ;) ah, all the Simbas deserve worshiping anyway!! ;) They're just tooo cute and sing too good :D

[HasiraKali]

Oh not worship him. :lol: That might make him uncomfortable and that's the last thing I want to do. I felt so bad for him when those girls starting hounding him about how good he looks and he was so obviously embarassed.

[Zaya]

Haha, the hormonal girls aight ;) Yeah, worshiping is only allowed behind closed doors and four walls :) But it's nice to see them blush all the way if you say something nice about them :D

[HasiraKali]

Blushing is cool when it's caused by a comment not driven by hormones. :lol:

[Ryoga]

I saw this a few weeks ago, and it was so damn awesome that I had to see it again. I am going Thursday yeah!

[HasiraKali]

Awesome! :D I was going to try to get tickets for tomorrow but then they asked me to stay late at work. :( But it's ok. I'm going Wednesday. ;)

[Ryoga]

Oh wait, you are going to see it a The Majestic right? Sad, only one day apart :lol:

You think you are going to go see it in Austin next year?

[HasiraKali]

Sure. Austin's only a little bit away. ;) Probably not as many times as I'm seeing it here but enough. ;)

[Ryoga]

How many times did you see it here? I'm afriad to ask :lol:

[HasiraKali]

I've seen it five times so far. I still have two more. :) I don't want it to leave. :(

[Sharifu]

I know what you mean, it's sad once TLKoB leaves... Then it's just too far away to be able to see it affordably. (Usually)

[Zaya]

:( For me it's always that far away...but maybe it's a good thing...if I had it across the streat I'd probably go every second day ;)

[Sharifu]

:lol: Yeah... I would go at least maybe once a month... Maybe more if the tickets were cheaper :p :haha:

[Zaya]

But hey, they might give me a free ticket for every ten I buy, or a gift...yeah right! Like in the movie theatres here ;)

[Sharifu]

I remember Jespah telling me, that TLK fans should get discounts on TLKoB tickets. :lol:

[HasiraKali]

:lol: That would be nice. Of course there's always student rush. ;) But then you can never really plan when you're going and hope that someone doesn't show up.

[Zaya]

Yeah, that's just stupid...I like to have best seats and know exactly when I'm going...btw...I made a picky inspired by the musical today,is in the mirage or however it's called

[Sharifu]

I did type a message to Wallace on My Space and he wrote back to me and I requested to add him as a friend and he added me. ^^ Yay.

[Gazelle]

That was one of the most annoying things when i was Timon...the makeup! Not that Zazu's wasn't just as crazy, but all that GREEN!
:lol: i don't know who's face is funnier, Scar's or the Timon puppet's.


i've been talking to Wallace over myspace. He's so much fun. He keeps sending me jokes from Phil(pumbaa) to me. :lol: Apperently the other day Damian(timon) fell on his face...twice. Aww... lol.

[nathalie]

OMG, I was browsing through this thread, and I came across this dumb post of mine :lol:

I'm never gonna see the musical. Now there's something new :p

[HasiraKali]

He didn't write me back. :( I think I'm going to cry. :(

[Zaya]

HK, probably he was busy back then...then forgot bout the message, no biggie, don't cry :(

[HasiraKali]

Maybe. :( We'll just pretend that's the case even if it isn't. :lol: But he's still going to make me cry later. ;)

[Zaya]

Ha, you know what, my Simba, even after all this time, still won't answer me sometimes, makes me cry like crazy...:( :)

[HasiraKali]

Someone tell him he made me cry. :lol: And not because he's a great Simba. ;)

[nathalie]

Ooooooh, Amanda ... do I spot butterflies? :p

[HasiraKali]

Butterflies? :lol: Nah. I'm ok now.

[nathalie]

Good, you're in denial ^_^

[Zaya]

That is a totally different thing...when you see him swinging on that rope and then jumping and his tenor! And how he looks at Nala when they stand each on their side of the stage...OMG, Imma cry and a river of tears comes out :lol:

[HasiraKali]

What are you talking about, Nath? :lol: And are you invisible?

It looks like they're playing football or something. :lol:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/TLKoB/pouncinghamburg.jpg

[nathalie]

No ... I am *watching*

points at siggy :p

And you're still in denial ... I see through you :p

[HasiraKali]

Sneaky. ;) But what exactly am I in denial of?

And I just noticed that that picture is flipped. Simba pounces Zazu from upstage left not upstage right. :hmm:

[Zaya]

It's true tho, the denial thing - look how she changes subjects, with that football picky ;)

You denied the butterfly nini, tho you have them dancing round your head and Wallaces for that matter :lol:

[HasiraKali]

But what am I in denial of? I can't deny something if I don't know what I'm denying. :lol:

I'm just trying to keep things on topic with random pics. :lol:

[Zaya]

Oh yeah, I usually forget that we're supposed to talk bout the musical, but we are, we are! We're talking bout Simba and denying nini's :D

[nathalie]

come to Yahoo then, we can talk random there :p

in denial --> you cry if Wallace don't right back --> butterflies ... :cheese:

[Zaya]

Yes yes, a yahoo Simba conference :D

[Gazelle]

i wish i could find crazy cool *** pictures to share... :emo: :lol:

[HasiraKali]

Ok so I just got home again. I waited at the door for like 20 minutes and no one came out. :( And it took me forever to get out of the theater because there were TONS of little old ladies there so I'm thinking most everyone was already gone when I finally got back there.

Anyway... the cast has changed. I knew contracts were coming up but I didn't know it would changed in the middle of the San Antonio run. Here are the changes and my little analysis. :)

Scar : Kevin Gray - Mr. Gray is a former Phantom so I was kind of sort of hoping to see him before the tour left, even though I love Mr. Yando. So he was ok. He's still trying to get into the role, you can tell, but he's not bad. He screams a lot too. :lol: I was looking at some of my Phantom stuff to see if he was a screaming Phantom too since those are the best Phantoms. ;) Anyway, so he wasn't the most screaming of the Phantoms I've heard but he was definately loud. It was kind of hard picturing him as Scar because I kept picturing the mask with a mask on. :lol:

Mufasa : Nathaniel Stampley - Ok so I was sad to see that Rufus Bonds Jr. had left. I simply loved his Mufasa. But Mr. Stampley was pretty good. His "They Live In You" made me cry tonight. That's a first. And there was some pretty good chemistry between he and Young Simba. I love the way he delivered the "I'm only brave when I have to be!" line. He kind of yelled it and then went all comforting. I like that better than just saying the line because that's how parents really are. :lol:

Zazu : Timothy McGeever - Ok I was REALLY sad when I read this one. Mr. McGeever has a nice singing voice but again you could really tell he was still trying to find himself in the part. He said "whoop!" a lot and it got a little repetitive. No one got the joke about the IJCWtbK curtain tonight because he said Ikea instead of Peir 1. We don't have Ikea here. :lol: He has potential though, he just needs to get comfortable in the role. :)

Bonzai : Rudy Roberson - He was actually pretty good. He did say "wild-debeasts" which made me laugh. He has a really gravely voice. At times it sounded like he had one of those sore throats that make your voice all scratchy and painful. It was just when he was talking otherwise he was ok.

Shenzi : Danielle Lee Greaves - She was really good. She had pretty good comedic timing and an awesome voice. Overall a very good Shenzi.

There were also a lot of ensemble changes as well. All of the costumes of the new peoples looked really fresh and new. You could actually tell that Zazu's suit was blue instead of a weird blackish bluish colour. Twas nice. :)

Oh... and GO SPURS GO! :lol:

[Sharifu]

Whoa... That's a lot of actors changing in the cast.

HasiraKali, are you saying that you wrote Wallace a message and he never wrote back to you? Well at least he added you to his friend list.

[Zaya]

Nathaniel Stampley? He used to play in London, I think he left just before I first saw the show...but then it was Sello Maake Ka-Ncube and he was in my oppinion the best Mufasa ever, he had such a wonderful voice, really strong and confident, but spoke in a way that fathers should tell bed time stories to children cause it like swung you into extasy :lol: and he sang even better than the orginial Broadway Mufasa...

Why do they always change the same actors....it's so similar in London! They change Scar, Mufasa, Zazu, Timon, Shenzi and Rafiki...Pumba, Simba and Nala definitely stay ;)

[Gazelle]

WHAT?!?! Wh-bu-NO! That's evil!

He killed the curtian joke?! He's a discrase to Zazus

That's so sad that no one came out...i would have like, cried. The stage door is my home! Not my second home, my HOME!

[HasiraKali]

Audra: Yeah I wrote him a message back when Zaya first found his myspace. I was added at least. :)

I thought the curtain joke was funny but I know what Ikea is. Most other people probably didn't because we don't have them here.

[Sharifu]

Hmm... TLKoB is coming to Los Angeles later this year... The only time I see it coming California in the future. Still kind of far for me though... Well I would only do it if I had the money and a friend who would want to go with me. ;)

[Gazelle]

i was really planning on going and seeing it again, but i don't know...now that they changed cast...eeehhh...i don't think id go if i can't see my Derek <3

[Lion_King_300]

Dang, that's a lot of cast changes right in the middle of a run like that, seems highly unusual. I think Rufus Bonds has been Mufasa at all the TLKOB performances I've been to with the exception of the NYC one, and I agree he plays the part magnificently.

I guess that means that Larry Yando and Bonds are done for good now, :( which is quite sad news, hopefully their replacements can get settled into their roles quickly, they certainly have big shoes to fill!

The new Mufasa sounds good though, maybe I'll get to see this cast in Orlando this December.

Oh, and good news!!! I'm going to China this summer for a week to see my mom in Beijing, and we're going to arrange to see TLKOB during its run in Shanghai during the first week of August!! :wow: The trip was my high school graduation present from 3 years ago and I haven't gone yet. The cast will be mostly the Australian cast from Sydney and Melbourne too, so it will totally new for everyone and I'll be sure to take lots of pics and tell everyone about it, I am SOOO excited! Still got about two and a half months to wait though.

oh yeah, looks like the Circle of Life finally pulled ahead in the poll too, 23 to 22... but it's still close.

[Gazelle]

Oh kick ***!!! i wanna go!!!!!!!!!!! :emo: i'm only like 5', i can fit in your cargo yeah? please?!

[Lion_King_300]

And on the topic of the "shower curtain" joke from the IJCWTBK scene, here's a list of the places that Zazu mentioned based on the city:

Seattle: Once "Ikea," Once "Pier 1" (I believe understudy said "Pier 1")
Portland: Both times "Pier 1"
NYC: "The Guggenheim" (drew big laughs)
San Jose: "Ikea" I was surprised at this because I didn't think there were many Ikeas down here, apparently I was mistaken.

But the San Antonio story is funny, I can just imagine what it would be like to have no one laugh after Zazu's line... that would be awkward and embarassing to say the least!

[nathalie]

Wauw LK300, that is awesome !!

It's odd though, that it's gonna be an English performance, since maybe not many people in China know English, hehe.

[Ryoga]

Well, well, well. I went to see The Lion King on Broadway in San Antonio at The Majestic downtown last night. I read HasiraKali list of cast changes, and since I on'y saw it once before with the old cast, I can tell that the only one who I was disappointed with was Zazu. Do not get me wrong, the guy who plays him now did a great job, but the one before him was so much better. I was a little weirded out because I didn't think they were going to change right in the middle of San Antonio and right near the end of their time here, but I enjoyed and spent way to much money on merchandise. I am going to miss it. I have to wait for the Austin production, which won't be for a while!
:(

[Gazelle]

YES!!! DEREK PWNDs ALL ZAZUS! *gafa*

[Sharifu]

That's totally awesome Tim! I remember you telling me about this and I'm glad you can go!

[Lion_King_300]

Originally posted by Gazelle

I couldn't agree more, hands down he was the best I've seen play the part. I was pretty disappointed with the Zazu understudies as a whole, not that they were that bad, but that Derek was so much better. His voice, tone and inflection really really REALLY sounded natural and very much like Zazu, he had that challenging puppet and his acting perfectly in sync, and he was so funny.

I hope his contract gets renewed and he stays with the show.

And yeah Nath, it is odd that it will be in English, but I also read that: "The show will be performed in English at the Shanghai Grand Theater, and SGT staff is translating the libretto into Mandarin for projection over the stage" I'm not quite sure what that means. They can't possibly have English AND Mandarin chinese at the same time??? Does anyone know how they plan to pull this off?

:confused:

[nathalie]

"for projection over the stage"

That kind of sounds to me, that they will project the translation onto something?

[Zaya]

The projection looks like the thing they do in operas, they for instance are sung in italian and there is a narrow screen over the stage on which they project the text in dunno, german, or english, etc.

Kind of like subtitles in movies, just that it's above the stage ;)

[imported_Rafiki]

Yep, I guess so! I saw this those... uhm... above-titles... :Ooo: over here when I saw a "Best of Musical" show. They projected the texts on big screens above the stage. But mostly to help the people to be able to sing along...:yuck:

[HasiraKali]

If they do the projections for TLK like they did for Phantom when it was there a few months ago, the projections will be down the side of the proscenium. I have a picture somewhere on my other comp. But here's a pretty good pic from someone on WebShots. :) Piccy (http://community.webshots.com/photo/242200181/1242202063051792498UaUfKx)

Oh and Ryoga... what happened with that guy that um shot himself outside the theater last night? Was it chaos getting out? :eek:

[Zaya]

Oh, yes, that is another way of putting those somewhere..but the lion king with sub-up-titles sounds funny :)

[HasiraKali]

We saw an opera in Houston one time that was preformed in English but it still needed subtitles because you couldn't understand a word these people were saying. :lol:

I was looking around and I can't find any info on the show being in Austin. :confused: I'll ask some of my Austin friends. :D

[Ryoga]

Woah what? This is the first I heard about it! Did it happen on the 18th or the 19th, because I was there the 18th! But damn. I had almost bought tickets for the show on Friday. Wish I did.

[Zaya]

Oh, yeah, in operas I'd need a translation, written and as subtitles ;), no matter what the language is :lol:

[HasiraKali]

Oh I'm sorry I thought you went Friday night. :lol: This is what happens when you're nocturnal... you get your days all mixed up. But apparently some guy shot himself outside the theater during the show around 10. It had nothing to do with the show but I was just wondering what the chaos getting out of the theater was like.

[Gazelle]

WHOA!?!?! Huuuuuuuuuh? Are you serious? That's odd. i haven't heard anything about that. Steve(stagedoorsecurety) didn't call me! Bad Steve! lol

[Zaya]

Gazelle, you like know everyone aroud that theatre ? :confused: :lol: what about that weird guy that stands behind the door and looks at everyone with suspicion? :p

Btw...will you get the pictures you made with your friends backstage soon :D :cheese:

[Ryoga]

What exactly did you mean by waiting by the backdoor HasiraKali? Do meet the cast after every preformance? I wish I had know that!

[HasiraKali]

They have to leave the theater sometime. :lol: They come out of two doors actually. Most of the dancers come out the Empire's door and the rest come out the Majestic's door. :)

The guy didn't shoot himself in the back alley, he did it right in front of the main entrance by that old ticket booth there.

[Zaya]

They should have some kind of underground tunnels so they come out a few blocks away from the theatre :lol::evilgrin:

[Gazelle]

Well, i LiVE at the stage door, so me and Stevie are like "dis!"

What's great about the stage door at M is that their hotel is seriously like, what, 20 feet to the left! MY pictures? if you're talking to me, it was a new throwaway so i'll finish up the roll tomorrow at my early b-day party.


Hey Antonians, during your show did they use a cut version of The Madness Of King Scar? That was ONE thing i meant to ask Derek (<3) but forgot! (dammit!) i sware they go from
"There he is, no, there he is AND THERE!"
"Calm yourself sire (or you'll get another one of your splitting headaches)"
...to...
"Oh very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu?"

Skipping the actual MADNESS of the song! that really annoyed me. Was that how it was in your show?

You know, I noticed that too! I was like, this does not seem right :lol::confused:

[Gazelle]

and i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! LOVE LOVE LOVE that song! i was so looking to that part, and it never came...it never came... :cringe:

[HasiraKali]

I mentioned that a few pages back. :lol: It was still cut even with Kevin Gray the other night too.

[Zaya]

I don't understand how they just cut it out :confused: I mean, what do they get from it? The show maybe gets shorter for 4 minutes or something...not even that long...

[Gazelle]

oop. Sorry. Didn't relize

But still it was driving me crazy. That's really odd. i think that parts really funny too. Makes me sad.

[Zaya]

Funny, cause in London they never let that part out...I was always wondering...do they have the part where a giraffe and the cheetah are walking around the stage,alone...anywhere in US? Cause I always thought that was inserted to give the ensemble time for changing costumes ;)

[Gazelle]

Yes, the cheetah a widely loved ensemble character from my understanding. My mother loves her.

:lol: in *my* shows that was DiFFENTLY what that scene was used for. :hehe:

[HasiraKali]

The cheetah scene makes me laugh :lol: The giraffe looking back. :lol:

I'm sad though. :( Tonight's the last night. I don't want it to leave. :(

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... for those of us around here... shall we plan a roadtrip? :D

Linky (http://www.utpac.org/2006/month.php?monthNum=03#267)

[Zaya]

Are you going to see it tonight HK? :D

[HasiraKali]

I am. Second row. ;) I'm excited. :D But sad. :( But at least now I know when I can go see it again. February. At least that's not as long a wait as it was to this time. :lol:

[Zaya]

Awww, stage door stage door ;) hope you catch them, it's worth a try :)

[HasiraKali]

I tried last week but no one came out after I was back there for a while. I'll probably try again tonight though. :)

[Gazelle]

AWWWWW!!! You're right! That's so saaaaaaad...

Tell me how it went!

[HasiraKali]

Sorry to double post but I just got home.

The show was amazing as usual. Kevin Gray has actually improved and so did Tim McGeever. He was much better tonight. He still said Ikea and no one laughed :lol:

And the sadness... Wallace wasn't there. :( We saw an understudy, Kehinde B. Hart. He wasn't bad but I was really looking forward to seeing Wallace. :( I really liked some of his reactions to the other characters. It's always cool to see different interpretations but again, I really wanted to see Wallace so I could kind of say bye. :(

[Gazelle]

i just said my long goodbyes to Wallace, and we were talkin back and forth for while over myspace. B-b-but... :tears: DEREK! i love you! i had a dream last night, it wasn't Derek, but i dreamed that i fell in love with a Zazu (actor ofcouse), and we started dating, and he would always draw Zazu/Timon art. :lol: Weird huh? sorry, just thought i'd share that with everyone...

ha, that would suck, and be soooo okward if it were me, and no one laughed at the curtian joke...ugh that would suck! But atleast people like the "THiS WASN'T iN THE CARTOON!" right? That was by far in my favorite line to say during my Zazu run.

*sigh* i'm gonna miss it...

[HasiraKali]

Yeah people still laughed at that one. :lol: I wish I'd gotten a note back. I'm going to send a card up to the theater in Tulsa to say thanks for the wonderful memories. :D I was going to get one of those big cards and drop it off at the door before the show, but I ran out of time. :hehe:

[Gazelle]

Aw! That's such a cute idea!

Dammit, i need some kinda contact info for Derek! Damian and Phil too!!! By the way, if anyone finds sites or pics or such for them, please share. unlikely but just incase. i don't have time or the patiants to go search...aw that makes me feel bad... :lol:

[HasiraKali]

I'll see what I can find. :)

I think I found Derek's email. :evilgrin:

[Gazelle]

Har, if youre kidding that's NOT funny!!!

Otherwise, GiVEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HasiraKali]

I PM'ed you. :)

[Gazelle]

You are awsome!!! You just made my day!!! THANKS!

[Zaya]

Wouldn't you just loooove the view from the stage :D

Where did you find that second one? I've never seen it before. :D He looks familiar but I can't place him. :hmm:

[Zaya]

Reall, wooooow, I found something you don't have, wow I'm good ;) JK

But yeah, he's familiar, and it's driving me crazy that I can't really see his face :(

and I can't remember where i found it, will go check everything now :)

[HasiraKali]

Do you remember what the original file name was?

[Zaya]

Oh yes ;)

00085289-0EAB-1F57-92AF80C328EC0000

hahaha :lol:

No, it's true, really :)

[HasiraKali]

:lol: Can't find anything. :( I've run out of search terms too. :lol:

[Zaya]

Yeah I thought it was a good idea too, untill i saw the file name :lol:

I'm totally browsing trough the whole London musical page, maybe it was there somewhere :D

[HasiraKali]

I wonder if you have anything else that I don't have. :lol:

[Zaya]

haha, maybe I show them all to you on yahoo photo share sometime ;) but I must say, I don't think there is anything else:lol:

[HasiraKali]

I want to put them all up somewhere but I think that'll take too long. :lol:

[Zaya]

oh, you could make a webshots account
;) and load them all, then unload them ;)

[HasiraKali]

:hmm: Could do that. :lol: Or I could make a giant zip file :lol:

[Zaya]

Hmmmmmm...Maybe I do the webshots thingy...:D

ah, I can only download 10 pics at a time :grrr:

[HasiraKali]

If you download the webshots desktop dealy you can upload as many as you want at a time. :)

I wish I had a bigger version of this one

P.S.: Do you have that study guide from the London page, it has some pictures in :D

OK, we're gonna fill this thread with pics, just not too many at the time :lol:

Awww, totally cute, didn't have that one ;)

[HasiraKali]

That first one is Josh Tower yeah. And the Scar and Zazu one is from the Netherlands site isn't it? :) I wasn't able to get the studyguide from the London site.

Here's another one from Sydney of those kids. :)

Vince Harder as Simba in the musical 'The Lion King' in Sydney.

Renee Castle as Nala, it said they are from Toronto 2004.

[Zaya]

Aww, yeah I know those second ones :D are really detailed ;)

[HasiraKali]

There's another on that site of Scar, Nala and Zazu that makes me laugh for some reason. :lol:

[Zaya]

A, yes, Scar, Scar makes me laugh on that pic :D he looks so goofy :D

Turanga Merito :D
http://images6.theimagehosting.com/29LION_wideweb__430x255.jpg (http://www.theimagehosting.com)

I really like this one but don't know who they are :(

http://images6.theimagehosting.com/lion_king_2.jpg (http://www.theimagehosting.com)

[HasiraKali]

That's who that is? I didn't know who the SImba in that first one was. I've got that second one on my other comp. I'll check it sometime and see if I have it labeled :)

[simba2662]

Well I have just over a week to the final show in Melbourne. Im lucky enough to have front row seats again to the last show after seeing it twice in Sydney.
Im gonna have the best night but im sure i'll be sad knowing that I wont be able to see it again. Lucky memories last a lifetime ;)

[Zaya]

you're gonna see the closing show! Amazing...and sad actually :( But let us all know how it was :D

[Gazelle]

i love the closing show, because you can tell when actors add little things in. it's so cute! i the only example i can think of is like at Anthony Rapp's last show doing RENT he said a line-
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we gather her to say our *SNiiiiiiiFF!* Goodbyyyyyyyyyes!" And the whole cast bursts out laughting

Another cool thing about last shows is like when i saw Oklahoma's last night and they were all hurring to get on the bus, and 'Meg' couldn't sign my playbill cause she was in a hurry so she gave me a free t-shirt instead. :lol:

i'm so sad that TLK is leaving! Sadly, Derek hasn't emailed me back, but i'm still having fun talking to Wallace atleast. Now if i could only get info on Phil and Damian... :cries:

[Zaya]

Yeah if you look at it in that way..but then again...they might not come back :( I can't even imagine people I know in London quitting the show, I'd totally miss their random theatre conversations =D...stopping the whole thing would be like the world is ending for me :lol: ;)

I hope Derek does write back to you Gaz, I'm sure it would be amazing for you to talk to him bout his character too :) But hey, you still have Wallace then :D

[Gazelle]

:lol: you know what, as much as i love all for of the big lugs, just being invited to walk with them to the hotel, sitting chatting and sippin coffee was the most fun i've ever had, and i will never ever forget them, whether we stay in touch or not! i still love them <3

[Zaya]

:( Yeah, awesome times...I was just thinking about it yesterday, like, all the things that happened to me trough the past year with that cast (breakfasts, coffes, trains, busses, houses...love...:lol: ), sometimes seem so unreal, but totally unforgetable :)

[HasiraKali]

I don't know if this has been posted or not but it's cool. And it's five minutes long. And it's got Jason in it. :D

Great video! Good diversity in the selection of clips from the show, and I always enjoy listening to Julie Taymor's production insights. Thanks for linking it.

[Zaya]

It's not working for me :( Just loads and won't run :(

[HasiraKali]

I had to save it to get it to work. Just right click->save as. :)

[Zaya]

oh yes, now it worked...I had that clip but this one is better quality, imagine how great that one must have been...;) But I love it, cause they really stuck so many highlights in those 5 minutes...everytime I watch it it's like...I HAVE to see the musical again...right NOW :lol:

Looky look, what I found ;)

Yay! The rest of the picture. :lol:

Simba 1: Raaaaaah! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/TLKoB/hamburgsimba.jpg

Simba 2: Eeeeee!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/TLKoB/JoshTowerk.jpg

The part of Simba 2 was played by Josh Tower. I'm not sure who Simba 1 is. It's either Gino or Etienne. I think it's Gino.

[Zaya]

sooo...SImba stoned:

Yessssssssss!

[HasiraKali]

I love that pic of Steven Allerick. :lol:
And Wallace. :D *wubs* :lol:

[Zaya]

Yeah I thought we didn't give enough Wallace pics...so any others are more than welcome :D

[HasiraKali]

Is it just me though or is S.J. Hannah's head the same width as the mask in that pic? :confused: :lol:

The Simba shadow puppet for those that haven't seen it on the London site. I think it was the London site. :lol:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/hasirakali/TLKoB/pic-land-shadowsimba.gif

[Zaya]

Hahaha:lol: poor S.J.H. his head is a lil broader than that from most Simba guys...or is it cause of the edgy cheekbones :confused: :lol:

[HasiraKali]

Either that or it's the angle the pic was taken at. :hmm:

[Zaya]

Are you making excuses for him ;)

[HasiraKali]

:lol: No I'm just trying not to insult him because I have nothing against him. :lol:

[Zaya]

:lol: I love the new avy :lol:

[HasiraKali]

Thanks. I had to do it after our convo yesterday. :lol:

[nathalie]

That Simba 2 you got there is not Etienne ^_^

But that jump would explain Etienne's knee injury, haha

[HasiraKali]

I'm pretty sure it's Gino. The jumping one anyway. :lol: The other one is Josh Tower. He has nice eyes.

[Zaya]

Should we leave you and Josh pic alone, so you can measure the depth of those eyes ;)

[HasiraKali]

:lol: That huge picture of him is better ;)

[Zaya]

Oh yes, you could almost count the number of glistening drops on his chest...:lol:

[HasiraKali]

:lol: He's not as glistening as Roger though. ;) That man can sweat. :lol:

[nathalie]

Did you ever stood on a stage for that long, underneath spotlights and jumping all over the place ? :p

[Zaya]

I have, I know the sweaty feeling ;) But Roger is still the winner of our "glisten Simba boy, glisten" contest :lol:

[HasiraKali]

Yeah I know those lights get hot. I worked with them for four years. ;) I burned myself on one once. :( Not fun.

Zaya: :lol: New avvie, I sense.

[Zaya]

Do you? :D btw check post your art thread, Simba is ready ;) and come to yahoo, I have a great glisty pic of Roger, you're gonna love it! :lol:

[HasiraKali]

I just saw him. :lol: He's amazing. :D Oh and I just logged on to Yahoo. :)

[Sharifu]

:lol: HasiraKali! Your avatar you have now is sooooo funny!

[simba2662]

Well now that I?m back from Melbourne I?m feeling :(
That was definitely the last time I will see the Broadway show but what a way to go out.
It had been almost a year since I watched the final curtain come down in Sydney and as the show rapped up I couldn?t have asked for a better night.
I jumped in my seat, which was in the front row and went through the little show bag that everyone received. The lights went down as the music roared above the savannah and there was simply no place else in the world I wanted to be.
The whole show ran so well except for 1 of the puppets in 'I Just Cant Wait To Be King, his costume just wouldn?t sit on properly.
As the last scene finished up everyone stood on their feat cheering and clapping for ages as gold confetti was sprayed everywhere.
Scar said a few words thanking everybody for their involvement just like he did in Sydney before the curtain dropped and stayed down :(
I didn?t want to leave the theatre but eventually did and thought I would try my luck around at the stage door. It was packed but mainly from the casts and their families, so with my Julie Taymor Broadway book I was able to get plenty of autographs and even have a quick chat to Rafiki and Mufasa ;)
It really was just a perfect night and something I will never forget.

I have a picture/article from the local paper but i'm not sure how to attach it. I'll send it via email if anyone is keen to see it :)

[Azerane]

That's really cool simba2662. I went and saw the show in Melbourne too :) I went in August last year for my birthday. It really is an amazing show and that's really cool that you got some signatures.

And with the article/picture from the paper... if it is just an image, then you need to have it hosted on the net somewhere, like at www.photobucket.com then you paste the link to the image in type.web.address.here If you don't have a photobucket account and don't really want to create one, send me the pic and I'll happily host it for you on my account for you :)

[Aride TWT]

May i join someones pride?

[HasiraKali]

This really isn't the topic to join a pride. Unless you are a Simba boy and would like to join Zaya's or my Simba boy harem. ;) Try Pride Rock or one of the RP sections. :)

[Zaya]

hahahaha :lol: HK! :lol: Making sure we only get the best of the best and 100% authentic Simba's in our harems aight ;) :lol:

Simba2662 we'd looooove to see pictures :D

[HasiraKali]

I need to make a siggy banner with all of my harem members on it. :lol: Maybe I'll do that once I drag my lazy butt to the living room. :p

[Zaya]

But but...how will you put on London Simba if there is no pic of him anywhere :(

[nathalie]

You must take one then :D very sneaky so he won't see ^_^

Thanks for the great story simba2662, I definitely know how you feel - the withdrawal when the show leaves your city - quite a depressing feeling especially being in Australia. :( I hope you will get to see the show again sometime down the road, glad you got to meet the cast and get autographs. I have never been at the finale performance for any TLKOB production, sure sounds like it was a lot of fun. It would be so cool to see the actors come out and speak to the audience, in full costume, after the show, that would be really meaningful and special as a fan.

I'm going to be seeing pretty much the same cast you saw in Australia in Shanghai, China this summer, in fact I just bought the tickets today, we'll be sitting in the section directly behind the VIP stalls, can't wait. Date will be August 15th.

And I'll be posting more now that Finals are over... I know you've all missed me so much <sarcasm> but it's been a tough past few weeks. It's a little hard for me to comment on the glistening chest of Roger Wright, though :lol: but any discussion of TLKOB is good discussion of course!

If you want to send the article/photos to me by e-mail simba2662, I can host it on my school web server to share with everyone.

[HasiraKali]

Oh come on Tim, you know you like it. ;) :lol: But seriously, I did miss you. I was like... "Where's Tim?"

[Linda]

THE LION KING MUSICAL, in London!! It was totally very unbelieveble GREAT!! Now I?m even more obsessed with the Lion King!! I cried, laughed but I hardly couldn?t see.. We had a great seat but this little kid in front of me couldn?t deside if he schould stand or sit down so he JUMPED! I got so annoyed.. But It was TOTALLY the best!! Loved it!!

:D :cheese:

[HasiraKali]

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

I'm going to go ahead and merge this with the TLKoB thread though. :)

[nathalie]

haha, I love the banner HK

[Zaya]

HK, you excluded London Simba...I don't know...should I be happy or sad ;) But I love it :lol:

Linda...LK in London...you liked it...really? :evilgrin: Tell me more...:evilgrin: :lol: Any understudies? How was the cast...how was Mufasa?! I'm curious, I haven't seen the changed cast yet :D:cheese:

[nathalie]

I'm sure Zaya is interested on how Simba performed ? :p

[Zaya]

Grrrr, Nathalie, how could you guess that ;) :p

Yeah I wanna know if he rushed the keyboard guy again at Endless night :lol:

But really, I'd love to know about the new Mufasa (the old one kind of...wasn't my type :eww:) and I think they also replaced Shenzi...and Ed :confused:

[HasiraKali]

I left Brian out because he's yours ;) I have another one with Etienne and Gino but I wanted to leave some for Nath. :lol:

[nathalie]

Oh, but you can put Gino in ... I only need Etienne :cheese: haha
And you can also have Danny *lol*

[HasiraKali]

:lol: Nah, you can keep Danny. If I take Etienne off, I'd need another one to add. :hmm:

[nathalie]

Well, add Danny :p I never wanted him in the first place :lol:

*hmm* I get this feeling Danny isn't so loved ... haha

[HasiraKali]

Nah, I moved Wallace, Josh, and Clifton over and put Jason in the middle. ;) I'm gonna change it over right now. ;)

[nathalie]

haha, you can squeeze loads of Simba's in 500 pixels :p

so, who's who? :cheese:

[HasiraKali]

Of course you could put zillions of Simbas in there. :lol: But then you really couldn't see them. ;)

It goes Gino Emnes, Vince Harder, Roger Wright, Jason Raize, Wallace Smith, Josh Tower, and Clifton Oliver. :D

[nathalie]

girl, you obsessed :p

and you saw them all on stage aswell?

[HasiraKali]

Haha not all of them. I've seen Jason and Wallace. The others from just various clips and stuff. But if they're good enough to hook me from a clip, they're pretty good. ;)

[nathalie]

and apart from that, you're thinking "if they can glisten ... they got me hooked aswell" :p

[HasiraKali]

:lol: Roger is the most glisteny. But yes, that helps. ;)

[Zaya]

Why do I feel left out here!! :lol: I want it to sparkle too! :D

[HasiraKali]

I could make you one if you want. :lol:

[Zaya]

btw. I see you upgraded your collection ;) What about Turanga Merito or what was the Australian one :confused: and the japanese ones :D - maybe the one in that clip ;) :lol:

[HasiraKali]

:lol: The one that was um a little scrawny? :lol:

[simba2662]

The Australian cast are so amazing. Buyisile Zama who plays Rafiki is so talented and has such a gorgeous smile. Her voice is so strong, its just a shame those clips of the Australian production are really poor quality.
Geno Segers (Mufasa) who has taken over the role from Jay, Tony Harvey (Scar), Terry Bader (Zazu) and Jamie Mcgregor (Timon) are all just amazing, you couldn?t ask for better performers.

I have sent the email off so that newspaper article should be up soon (Thanks Azerane). I also had my video camera outside the Regent theatre getting in all the surroundings and another Lion king on Broadway clip that I have on video, which has more footage from the opening scene, which is not on the Dvd, or any clips I have seen on the net.
It includes an interview with Julie Taymor and info on the New Amsterdam. I'll try to upload some as soon as possible ;)

[nathalie]

B...b...but ... I want something sparkly too :(

"Which is not on the DVD", you mean the TLK DVD ? Since I haven't watched for like a year, I can't even remember what's on it and what's not, haha.

[HasiraKali]

Geez. Everyone wants sparkly. :lol: Oh and I'm curious about these clips as well. ;) Can't wait to see them. Wasn't Geno Mufasa in Sydney and then Jay took over in Melbourne? Or am I on some sort of hallucinogenic drug? :confused: :evilgrin:

[simba2662]

Yeah the Lion King DVD sorry.

I think it may be the "hallucinogenic drug?" ;)

Aww thanks! :hugs: It's good to be back.

Yeah Adult Simba is my favorite characters in the show, but not exactly for that reason! Your new sig banner is just awesome too Amanda, great work on making that.

I finally completed by TLKOB shirt collection today when the shirt with 3 lion head logos arrived, that one was really hard to find! I'm pretty sure I have every TLKOB T-shirt that been sold (not counting the touring cast sparkly glitter shirts) there's 13 in total that I have.

Still want that snowglobe though, maybe they'll be selling merchandise in Shanghai for a little cheaper than in the US, doubtful though.

And.... drumroll please... I think I have something that might be of great interest to everyone.... check out this link:

A Lion King on Broadway DVD??? NO WAY!!!! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9146183033&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1)

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

Yes, it's for real. I have only one copy, the original which I paid a LOT of money for from the original seller, and I'm selling it so someone else can enjoy it. For some reason it won't read on my computer but it works fine in any Region I dvd player, the quality is surprisingly good.

I do know one thing - this is the only copy of this being sold in the entire world, and I need money for my trip this summer... :evilgrin:

Geno Segers (Mufasa) who has taken over the role from Jay, Tony Harvey (Scar), Terry Bader (Zazu) and Jamie Mcgregor (Timon) are all just amazing, you couldn?t ask for better performers.


Oh that sounds great! Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it now. Some of the past Rafikis I've heard have been a little weak, particularly during the Circle of Life opening, so that's welcome news.

You wont be dissapointed.

With regards to the dvd, I didnt think you could sell any pirated or illegal coppies on ebay ?

[Daniel]

you can sell tv programs on ebay cos they are on the public domain, and films as backup copies

but i'm not sure

Here's the article that Simba2662 sent to me to post here for you guys. And of course, photobucket shrunk the pic down but you can still read it and see the pic well :)

Thanks for sharing that with us Simba2662, I know I don't have anything to compare it to but I thought the Melbourne cast was amazing!! Scar was simply incredible as was Adult Simba and Timon and Zazu.... well really, everyone was amazing!

[HasiraKali]

Awesome. :D I really do think Geno was in the show before Jay though. :lol: Oh well, I'm old, my mind is slipping. :p That DVD is really cool Tim. ;) (not that I've seen it or anything >.> <.<)

No, it falls safely within Ebay guidelines, in fact that is where I got it in the first place. As long as the video is a "home" video (shot privately) and not by an official company like Disney then it's okay to sell it. I wasn't sure about this but there are a LOT of auctions on ebay selling burned DVD copies of the Lion King show at Animal Kingdom in Florida, for instance and also the TLK parade.

In fact, I heard it is illegal to sell recordings of TV shows on videotape, but as long as you shot something with your own personal camera it becomes your property. I guess in the end it's the theatres fault for letting whoever shot this footage do it.

I can't imagine the person that shot this went the whole show without being caught or talked to or told to stop, it almost makes me think that he had special permission to do so from the theatre ushers/manager or somebody of higher power.

[simba2662]

Thats great then, hope it sells at a high price.

The clips of the Sydney show was definitely Jay and Geno came in later. Geno signed my book and the cast booklet had him playing Mufasa ;)

Hey I missed you too Tim! ;) :hugs: And wow, I can't believe you're selling that DVD! You paid a lot for it! But it's nice to let other people see it. I hope you make a profit from it. And it's awesome you get to see TLKoB in China, hey, you're selling it in the same month I'm seeing it in London. ;)

[Zaya]

Hey Tim, I missed you too, you always have the longer posts :D and you can write now more instead of me (cause it's my turn now to do exams ;) ) Oh, look that DVD is an LA cast one ain't it? :)

[HasiraKali]

It's the same one that I showed you Z. ;)

[Zaya]

I knoooow ;) shhhh :D

Yeah, I remember watching the "They Live in You" clip from the Sydney show and Jay's singing voice did seem a little weak, no doubt Geno is better.

Who is the Adult Simba now? It's not Vince Harder still is it?

[Lion_King_300]

Yes it's the LA cast, back in the starting days of Rufus Bonds as Mufasa who's still in the role today. Moe Daniels as Adult Nala has just an incredible singing voice, she's the best out of all the Nalas I've seen, even live in the theatre.

And... has there been another copy of this DVD floating around somewhere??? Or a different DVD entirely?

:eww: :lol:

Ohh and I added screenshot links to my Ebay auction page. That might have been a little risky but I've had a lot of requests.

[Zaya]

Yeah it's LA, London Simba used to be part of the ensemble then, that's why I kinda know about the cast and stuff :D

To the Australian cast...I think it's Turanga Merito..or am I wrong? :confused:

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:


Couldn't you make another copy of it? :(
I would be the happiest lioness around if I could see that musical but unfortunately I can neither afford going to see it in real life nor buying a dvd for more than $51.00 + shipping costs atm...=(

[HasiraKali]

That vid is on the underground trade. It's highly limited though which is pretty cool I guess. :lol: It's a really good shot and a pretty good cast. And yeah, you can hear London Simba on it. ;)

Vince Harder is in my harem. ;) :lol:

[Zaya]

Yes :D Yes :D, you can hear London Simba :lol: I had to ;)

Oh, really, you locked up Vince too...Did you buy a bigger closet now that there's so many of them ;) They have some good ones in IKEA...and if you're going there, don't forget to buy one of those shower curtains :lol:

[HasiraKali]

:lol: They're crammed in there pretty tight. But it just makes it more fun when they fight for who gets to come out and play each night. ;)

[Zaya]

Ahaaaa...there's the catch...So I should put my only Simba :lol: :( into that shoe box with someone else, just so he gets to fight...gets more exciting then ;)

[HasiraKali]

Yeah. :lol: You could put like a cardboard cutout of another Simba in there to try to trick him into being all tough. ;)

[simba2662]

Yeah its Turanga Merito.

Vince Harder performed the first time i watched the show and I thought his singing voice was ok. The other two times it was Turanga and although he's not the strongest singer he plays simba very well.

Vince left the cast to audition for the X Factor. The show was a huge flop and although he was in the final group I have not heard anything from him sinse.

[nathalie]

May I point out that if you wanna talk stuff about that DVD (which isn't legally made I presume) you take that to your PM's ? ;) Thank you ^_^

@ Neola, you that far away from Hamburg?

Exactly! I'm gonna do that...he won't notice anyway in the dark ;) I'll say it's Etienne :lol:

Trying to think of him being all tough and stuff but I can't really see him like that haha :confused: He's too sweet :browlift:

[nathalie]

Hey, Etienne is mine :(

I never saw him IRL though, but who cares :cheese:

:lol:

[Zaya]

Haha, now don't worry, it'll be just a pic of Etienne, stuck on one side of the shoe-box...when mine sees him, he'll get all tough and start fighting for me, aww, now that would be nice :D

so we both get profit from it :lol:

Yes, I couldn't be mach further away...Hamburg's in the very north of Germany and I live at the southern border...very very far away :(

[nathalie]

Yeah, I was never the best a geogrophie ^_^

[Neola]

Haha, yeah it is...12 driving hours I think =(

And yeah, I'd prefer going to London anyways, I don't like the German version that much. I don't have the money though.
