Did she recently join the US touring cast? I mean I've seen TLKoB with that same cast 3 times before seeing it in San Jose.Quote:

I know she left London last April, so don't really know...I heard she was part of the international cast then...
I saw the show last March, so I might have seen her. Her picture is in my programme, but I couldn't say I recognised her in her costume, so it may have been an understudy? But the woman who played Rafiki in the show I saw was fantastic.Quote:

:D
I bet it was her, I don't think understudys ever got to sing when she was with the show ;)...Did they say anything about the understudies before the show? :confused:...Don't you get a little paper with the programme if someone is being replaced for that show?
I don't remember, lol. They did announce who Rafiki was played by just before the show started, but I can't remember who it was, lol. I don't know if that's usual.
If they announce it then it means it's an understudy ;)
Just got home again. :D Night of the understudies. :lol: Not too bad really. And I made a friend at the merchandise stand. :lol: He was bringing stuff over for me to look at and being really nice and friendly. :) He was telling me that some things are being discontinued once they run out here and that some new stuff is coming in on Thursday. ;) I'll post pictures of the stuff I picked up tonight tomorrow sometime.
Still haven't made it to the door yet. :( My sister said she's dragging me back there next week. I'm nervous. >.> <.<
Ohh... don't make me come over there! :gasp:Quote:

Please, do it for me, for yourself, and for the rest of us! What a great story you will have to tell everyone and memories that you met Simba himself! Isn't that what you always wanted and dreamed of?
Don't be nervous - they're not gods or world-famous Hollywood stars, just normal people like you and me that work together to bring an amazing story to life.
It would be a good idea to go in a group rather than by yourself. Maybe you can even get your parents to come with you? Or perhaps make friends with someone in the theatre and offer to go get autographs together. I think that might ease the nervousness, I would have been more nervous going by myself but with Audra and Eric there it was easy.
One thing's for sure, if you keep saying "I'll be there next week" pretty soon you'll run out of weeks!
Yeah I know. :( I'm too shy. It might be easier if my best TLKbuddy was around but he's not here right now. I'm going next week I swear. Even if I throw up all over the place, at least I'll have a story. :lol:
o_O I'm pulling out all my trics since last year to get to Paris and London, and you are seeing the show every week?
That amount of money will almost equel the cost of my trips :lol:
Yeah. >.> <.< Still have 4 more times. But then it'll be gone and I'll have no idea when it's coming back. :( Unless I go up to Houston :lol:
Really go see them! They are really nice normal people just like us! :lol: Really when you talk to them, you can tell they're really flattered and they don't think they're anymore speical then us.
Wallace is sooo nice. Hehe.
Got bored today, surfed the net and found this picture....I was like all crazy!!! Loooook there's London Simba, wearing a "one by one" dress, beign part of the original Los Angeles cast...at the Jay Leno show! ;)) Just needed to share with someone, got all hyper cause of it ;)

btw. If anyone saw this or recorded (tho i doubt...it must have been like 5 years ago :( ), he or she will be rewarded for any information :lol:
The link isn't working for me. :( Buuuut... I did record this. ;) I don't have a way to get it uploaded though. :(
if any of you get this cast in your city you should DEFiNiTLY talk to them!!!! They are so funny, and so nice!!!
i had a coffee with Wallace, Derek, Damian & Phil. (simba ,zazu, timon, pumbaa) They're so nice! Phil is halarious. He brought his boy friend with him:
Phil- "Steve, this is my best pal, Timmy!"
Damian- "Eh heheh, you're so funny."
Wallace- "You two better stop before you scare the kid away."
Derek- "Aw nah, Gaz loves us too much. i wouldn't be suprised if she followed us the rest of the tour."
Derek actully gave me a free Zazu (the white broadway version) plushie! AH! i hugged him to death!!! <3
i was in a TLKoB workshop last summer 4 times, twice as Timon (which was hell actully), once as Zazu (my all time favorite roll of mine), and once as a Tech intern. So it was really fun to talk to them about what it's like to do it for so long...while TRAViLiNG!!! They shared some really funny stories like rehersal screw ups, or what goes on back stage. ironicly enough Derek shares his dressing room with 'Scar'(name Eric i think), Damian with 'Ed', and Phil with Wallace and 'Bonzi'. ;)
They are the sweetest people on the planet! i'm going to miss them so much! Kali, they haven't left yet right? i reeeaaally want to show up at the stage door some night so i can see them again <3
PS- Why isn't The Madness of King Scar or The Morning Report on the poll?! :gasp:
They're leaving May 21st I think. Wanna go with me to the door? That would really help. :lol: I'm not a psyco murderer, you can ask Ayers. :lol:
Here's the pick, downloaded it, hope it works now:

the guy all the way left, at the back, blue-orange :lol:
LOL. i talked to ayers today, and just so you know he remembers you! :cheese: He said "Oh yeah, she was one of the few who LiKED me." LOL. Not to put you on the spot or anything, and i promise i wont tell, but really...did you like Ayers or were you completly devoted to Fraser? i've seen some pictures and heard stories about Ayer's first years at NESA and how nobody liked him. So sad.Quote:

i LOVED talking to actors at stage doors so much! especally here because it's hardly anyone every goes to the stage door! it's semi kinda sorta hard to find. Atleast if your seats arnt near the front on the floor level. (the door guard is like my best friend!) And since their hotel is literily 10 yards away, so they're never in a hurry. i've had great converstations with casts and such but NOTHiNG like THEM! i heartz them!!! :DQuote:

Haha, the big happy lion family,I miss that sort of thing...I used to go eat breakfasts with them before the matinees and they were always acting crazy, making fun of some random guy in te ensemble who's pants once fell down on stage and had his whole but on display singing all happy :lol:...I even went to the backstage place a few times and I almost died laughing cause they were making this stupid faces when getting painted and constantly imitated each other as in "how you acted or perform on stage" :D...
anyway don't want to spam this tread :), am still looking for somebody with the Jay Leno show...anybody? :(
I can't find anything on the episode, no date, no episode number, and checking aaaaaaaaaaall of them on the Jay Leno episode guide, that'll take weeks.
Otherwhise, it would make things easier looking on LimeWire.
Yeah, been checking that too...I know it was either 2000 or 2001, or maybe start of 2002?..don't think there is anything on LimeWire...well at least I'd have to know the episode number...but maybe Hasirakali knows it if she recorded it? :confused:
Yeah I like Ayers. It was difficult at first because his style is so different from Frazier's. He was the teacher I honoured at the suma reception when I graduated. He wore a Winnie the Pooh tie. :lol:Quote:

And which door do you go to? The one inside the theater house left or the one in the alley? I don't know which one to go to which is another part of my problem. :hmm:
Oh and the Leno performance was right after the show opened in LA so around 2000 or so? I'm not sure of the exact date.
I found something...the only performance I got was Season 10, episode 2133, but that was in February 2001 :)...now let us begin with the digging ;)
but it's like different from page to page :confused:
I searched that Season and episode but it's coming up as being in October 2001 and I know it wasn't that late. :confused: I'll go look for my VHS with it on it in a bit.
October 2001 will do, the database I found (I putted the url somewhere ...) did only show them by number, but when you clicke on it, it showed the date aswell.
I know. I looked in season 10 episode 2133. But I don't think it was after September 11. :confused:
Usualy they invite them right after the show starts tho ...but maybe it really was that late...in October 2001...cause of the dreadlocks..nevermind ;) well I can't really find that episode anyway...Oh Limewire, you useless thing you ;)...:tears:....
Hi Gaz,
That's really cool to hear that you were involved with the show! I'm really curious to hear what the TLKOB workshop was like, being female how did you get to do the roles of Timon and Zazu? It sounds like it was a lot of fun. Please share any more stories you have with the cast members if you remember any.
P.S. I'm also a little confused, it seems that you and Hasira_Kali go back a ways, but who is "Ayers?"
Good luck going to the stage door, maybe you can help Amanda finally meet Wallace and the others! Be sure to take some pics.
Gaz goes to the same high school I went to. :lol: Tis a crazy coinkydink. :D I really want her to help me out. :lol: And Ayers is the technical theater teacher/director there. He gave me a Financing for Dummies book for graduation in December. :lol:Quote:

Alrighty, thanks for clearing that up! I thought Ayers was one of your teachers or something :lol:
I wish I knew someone at my high school that liked TLK. When's the next time you're going to see it Hasira_Kali?
I finally voted in this poll, even after all this time of posting in this topic. :p I picked The Circle of Life, just because I love all the animals and it's just a really neat part of the show. (Shadowlands is my favorite TLKoB song though)
HasiraKali and Tim, I love your new avatars! And Zaya I always liked yours. ^^
Thanks Sharifu! It's nearly impossible to find TLK media footage showing Mufasa's ghost mask from TLKOB reprise (I think it's shown only once in any video media online, does anyone know how I got the avatar pic?)
And no I did not take this picture in the theater! :evilgrin:
Gosh, it seems so long ago that I wrote this poll, and if I could go back in time I wish I would have changed it to "favorite song/scene" and included the dances like Lioness Hunt and Shadowland in place of "Jungle" and "Elephant Graveyard" which aren't very specific. And what was I thinking when I put "Circle of Life reprise" as a choice??? :idiot: But then again it only gives me 10 options and there are more than 10 songs in the show, so I'd have to cut some out anyways.
I actually asked the mods a while ago if I could change the poll but it had already gotten underway so we decided to keep it the way it is, oh well.
I knew it was going to be between "Circle of Life" and "He Lives in You Reprise" the two most powerful and memorable parts of TLKOB, both of them have been leading the poll at one point or another and Circle of Life is only one vote behind... though I voted for HLIY it was a virtual toss-up for me.
Still can't wait to hear about the TLKOB Workshop and what went down in there!
Tomorrow. :D And where did you get the picture in your new avvie? :DQuote:

Gina Emnes from Hamburg. I flipped out when I saw the pic. :lol: I've actually been finding a lot of pretty cool ones that I'd never seen before. :DQuote:

Sharifu, thank you :) I believe you already read about who that is, but anyway,it's Alexia Khadime (London TLK)....
LK300 - I have one pic of the He lives in you part...but I believe you've alread seen it...but I'll check the clips I have...
So you say Gino ha ;) is it just that specific pic or is it Gino in general :lol: lemme find something then...
p.s.:Gino sings on the Hamburg the lion king cd you know...
I have stuff from Gino aswell on DVD (bonus DVD that came with the Dutch CD), since he replaced the original Dutch Simba for a little while.
So I got my VHS with that Leno performance on it found. :) I watched it last night, and it was funny... not meant to be but it was. I asked my friend about getting it transfered to a computer so I can upload if for y'all and she said she just needed to get the equipment from her mum when she goes back to the house. So I'm not sure when I'll have it up but hopefully not too far from now. :)
:wow: wohaaaaaa *dances, dances*...I'm gonna see London Simba in the orangeish bluish carpet, looking like the prince of Bel Air :wicked:
btw. why was it funny :cheese:
It just looked awkward. :lol: And the music was really really soft so it looked like Clifton Oliver was just having a random seizure or something. :confused:
:lol: Hahaha...well then...do they show the ensemble at all or can you just see the orange blue red yellow whatever heads swinging in meditation ;)
