Thanks :cheese: hehe
it's so AMAZiNG!! i had a burnt copy, but not anymore -cries-
it really is beautiful, one of my favorite Zazus!
I have mp3's aswell, but since I collect original CD's, this one is a "must have" hehe.
The sound quality on the Japanese TLKOB soundtrack is probably the best out of any of the TLK cd's I own, it really sounds like it was recorded right out of the pit! (And it also includes Mufasa's ghost speaking to Simba in HLIY reprise!!!) :wow:
I was lucky, I mean very very lucky, to find a copy on Amazon.com which is where I purchased it (I was too cheap at the New Amsterdam, I had already over budget on other stuff before I even saw the Japan TLKOB CD) and I think I got it for $26 or so which is a $4 savings over the $30 they're asking in New York, but don't quote me on that because the price may have gone up again.
I like most of the tracks on that CD better than the Broadway cast recording!
There are some to find on ebay, mostly around 25 $, but everytime they popped up, I couldn't really afford it *grrr* haha.
Ha, money. BACH!!! i just bought a crazy *** dress for NESA Banquet, so money...eh yeah, noexistint
NESA Banquet is this fancy end of the year dooba for my school that everyone dresses up for and there's a dinner, senior roasting, and the director of the school tells us the musicals and plays for next year which is like a HUGE thing. So yeah.
if i didn't have money before-BACH!
We used to do themed banquets. :lol: My senior year it was a toga party. :lol: I think Ayers has a picture of my sister and I in our togas in his office. ;)
The Netherlands CD is pretty cool too. :)
HA! i'm gonna ask him
My uncle has the cd, so im gonna ask for another burned copy...hopefully one that my brother WONT break this time round
Tim sent me a copy of the Japanese cast. :D I loves it. :lol: I ordered the Netherlands one last night and I'm going to order the German one soon too. :D
The Dutch CD kind of sucks in my opinion :lol:
Haha, due to the translations mostly. I just don't like them :s
(*edit*, at least the translations from the movie songs)
Nala has a super voice though.
I just like all of them...it's not that I wouldn't understand...at least part of it...it's just I don't even listen to the text mostly ;)
I like some of the orchestrations on the Dutch CD. And most of the other versions (Japan, Germany, etc) have some awesome ones too. :)
Yes, Nala's voice on the Dutch CD is incredible. My favorite track on that CD is probably "Can you feel the love tonight," the way it's arranged and sung in Dutch is beautiful. It took me a while to get past the "throaty" voice and accents that the Dutch have but beyond that, I love the CD.
And Hasira_Kali, you definitely earned the JTLKOB CD by winning Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! Sorry I kinda forgot about that interview, it was so long ago now I think we'll cancel it, I'm still not sure if I am going to bring the show back next month or not, it all depends on how many people are interested in playing.
Yeah, the Dutch and their accents ... Anyone who wonders: no, Flemish does not have that accent (the G for instance) ^_^
*ahum* hehe
Interview?
Ooh, but you *must* host a new show :cheese:
I just got home again... Lots of tech problems tonight. And costume issues. :lol: Young Simba kept tripping over his tail and Scar's mask wouldn't come down when Mufasa says "Is that a challenge?!" Mufasa's went down and then he pulled it back up really fast. It was pretty funny. And the gopher wasn't there. The trap opened and no gopher. :lol: Zazu was all "I hear you! Go on! I hear you!" It was pretty funny. :lol:
Oh and I really had to use the restroom during the interval because I had a margarita before the show and the gossip in the lady's room was all about how nice Wallace's arms were. :lol: One girl was like "At least Simba's going to be hot for the rest of the show." I was thinking "And how!" ;) When he swung out, a bunch of the teenage girls in front of us flipped out and were jumping and being hormonal. :lol: It was hilarious.
;) <--- A link. :D
YOU MET WALLACE! Yay!!! Good for you, you finally did it!!! :D
That's funny about the gopher, what Zazu said... XD How weird there was so many problems that night. XD Kind of sucks if that was your first time seeing the show.
Oh my gosh I had a weird dream last night... I dreamt I saw TLKoB and after the show I met the guy who played Zazu and he let me hold the Zazu puppet and he showed me how to make it talk and things like that... It was so cool... :D :lol:
YOU MADE IT! We're all so proud of you!! How was it, how was it, how was it? How were his hands? Nice? ;) :lol:
btw...a sham there were so many problems...but then again...it would be funny to se something different in a while (that with the mask tho, happened in London once when Mufasa's didn't want to go down - they just ignored it...haha :lol: - and then Scar just pushed his one back, turned around and started walking really fast :lol:)
When I saw TLKoB in Portland with Tim and Starlioness, when Simba confronted Scar, telling him to tell the truth, and then when Scar yelled, "I killed Mufusa!" and the lights start to flash... I saw that Scar's mask fell off onto the floor. :lol: And then Scar grabbed it and ran off the stage... :D Good thing he wasn't in the scene right after that... Then it's the scene with the lionesses and everyone else fighting the hyenas. Of course by the next time you saw Scar he had his mask back on.
HasiraKali, did you tell Wallace how many times you've seen the show there in San Antonio? :p And yes tell us what it was like meeting him!
HK haha...hormonal girls?? :lol: haha(which btw. made me laugh so much I almost feel of the chair, nevermind...)...I bet if you weren't that "grown up" and didn't know better you'd be all crazy too ;) :lol: :p
AH! That's a picture of my house!!! (Majestic stage door)
Claps for Amanda! Did you meet my best friends eveh?!?! (Dam, Phil) Or my lover? (Derek) Ha. On my night Ed feel while going up the stair in Be Prepaired and took Bonzai with him. :lol: Which young Simba did you have, the shorter chubby one or the taller one that's been on broadway? i had the shorter one and he was that great, and tripped alot.
Did you catch (eric right?) Scar? He like ran out of the door and i didn't get to talk to him. i was so sad. i only saw him once at the hotel for like a second. He was telling a joke to the Shenzi understudy.
is that you in the picture? because it looks like a girl from some pictures in Ayer's office.
Ok so here's what went down. I didn't get to talk to Wallace and Ta'Rea too long because... well I coulndn't really speak. :lol: We were standing at the door (Which is a lovely shade of red btw) and dancers and stuff were coming out. I saw a wildebeest mask hanging on the wall right inside the door, so that was cool. So we're standing there and Aaron Conlley and Young Nala came out (I forget her name :eek:) I got a picture with him which is on my friend's camera. I bent down to take the picture with him and he suavely put his arm around me. :lol: It was pretty funny. Then we're standing there and a few stage hands came out (I gave them props ;) ) Then my friend and I are talking and I hear the door start to open so I look and freeze in mid-sentence because Wallace and Ta'Rea just walked through. I just kind of froze and she kept talking. Wallace stops to talk to a little girl and I kind of move over to him. A couple of those hormonal girls cut in front of me though when they hear him tell the girl he played Simba. Their mother was talking to him about how nice his body was and he was turning really red and blushing and stuff. It was so cute. I didn't say anything like that, even though I definately thought it. ;) When it was my turn, I was shaking so hard. Here's our little convo:
Me: Hi... could I um get an autoggraph and a ppicture?
Wallace: Definately! No problem. (as he's signing my Playbill for me) how did you like the show?
Me: I loved it. I've been trying to get back here to meet you for weeks.
Wallace: Oh? Well I'm glad you finally made it! :)
He handed my playbill back to me and I got a picture with he and Ta'Rea. Then I got her autograph and that was it. I didn't talk to them very long because I they were saying they had an early rehearsal today and I guess they wanted to get to their hotel and catch some sleep. But it was really awesome to meet them. I'm going to try to go back there again next week and maybe actually have a real conversation with them.
"Hi! My name is Amanda. I came back here last week but this time I can actually talk. How're you? What're your plans after the tour? I love your album by the way." :lol:
I didn't go to bed until after 3am last night because I was so excited and worked up. :lol:
Oh and Gaz, why would I get a picture of some random girl with Wallace? :lol: Yeah that's me.
Shut up. :lol: i was just making sure! ;)
Soooo...did you talk to my lovers?!?! NO?! B-b-but they're so coooool!
When i went there was noone but ys&n's families, ShenziU/S's sister and Phil's boyfriend...and then me
HA! YES!!! THE MAAASK! Steve let me touch it! (the security guard) Me and him are like THiS! *crossing fingers* :cheese: i just ran in real fast, touch, run out. Then he laughed at me.
"You want to see it?"
"Wha?"
"The mask. You can go in and touch it"
"*GASPETH* REALLY?!?!"
"if ya want"
"*squeak*"
:lol: that's me! :hehe:
No they didn't come out while we were back there. I was pretty much a puddle after Wallace anyway. :lol: Maybe next time. :)
uhum! There has to be a next time...just think of alllll the things you have to say and forgot ;) :lol:...but the hormonal girls still rule!! :lol:
Oh my God, Amanda !! Finally !! :cheese:
And was it worth it, ha ... ha ... HA ?? ;)
*edit*
I thought I'd join you for a bit, and made my own Simba avvy ^_^
It's Etienne *wOOt* the original Dutch Simba.
Couldn't find any other pictures then those though in his Simba outfit :(
(need a DVD drive, so I can take nice screenshots of the DVD I have that came with the CD, hehe)
Come everybody, say huray for Etienne!! :lol: ...btw. he's such a sweetheart ;), looks so young on those pics (how old is he anyway :confused:)
YAAAY Amanda you did it! I'm so happy for you. And cool that you're already planning your next visit to chat with him, you should do a short interview session or something and post it here :lol:
And you got to meet Ta'Rea Campbell too!!! We missed her in San Jose unfortunately, she's one of my favorites in the show, awesome voice.
Funny story about the hormonal girls too, we certainly didn't see any of that when we went to the stage door, we were the only ones there! So yeah, major props to ya for getting the courage to talk to Wallace, what an awesome experience for you. Be sure to share the rest of your pix if you can get them! (I'd love to see Ta'Rea in her street clothes, is her head still shaved? It was in Portland according to a promo video I saw)
As for the show, wow that is certainly a lot of mistakes! I truthfully didn't even notice in Portland when Scar's mask fell off, though I totally believe Sharifu I think they do a really good job of covering up any mistakes they do make, so the first timer would think it was part of the show. But the "lost gopher" part, that would be weird seeing nothing and hearing the voice.
I have an example though of how having seen the show before makes it easy to recognize mistakes:
I do remember in Portland that Simba forgot one of his lines, and it was REALLY obvious too - the part just before CYFTLT when Timon goes, "Whatever she has to say, she can say in front of us, right Simba?" Well, Wallace definitely blanked for the next 10 seconds, he just stood there in the corner of the stage pretending to be in deep thought, and after about 5 seconds, Timon repeated very slowly "Riiiight Simba?" and during this time the offstage cue person finally saved Wallace and he was able to come up with the correct line, "Maybe you'd better go. From previous viewings of the show (including the other Portland performance i went to) I knew that there wasn't supposed to be a protracted pause here, but if it was my first time seeing the show I'd totally think it was just a part of the script!
(I forgot whether it was at our performance Sharifu or the one where I went with my other friends, but the other time he said the line almost instantly! Hey, it happens to the best of them)
Oh and I have a question for the San Antonio crowd: Do the center-stage ballet dancers in CYFTLT go up in the air or not? I remember in Seattle they did but at all the other places they stayed on the ground, I guess it depends on the theatre and the rigging devices they have.
:lol: Yeah you know I always thought his arms were nice... Haha. I hope you can talk to them again! :cheese:Quote:

Haha... I would say there were girls like that on that Saturday afternoon Eric and I went back... But I'm sure you all read that story I wrote about it, a while back in this topic. ;)Quote:

I'm so glad Eric and I went back. I don't know why I didn't think about that on that night after the show. But I think it was Eric that thought about it, good thing he did. :cheese:
Actually I only meet some hormonal girls once in LD, but it was really fun, there were six of them, from like 14 to 30 :lol: and they jumped on every single guy coming out of the theatre, telling him how yummy he was as Simba ;) (I sat there and was like, damn, didn't you even look at his face or were his biceps more importaint ;))...unfortunately I had to explain to each that I am NOT a part of this team! ;)...then later on Simba came (believe it or not they waited for him for more than an hour) and was literally attacked...they were like grabing his hands and getting all over him when they took photos...which I, must say, DID NOT like but it was so funny I just couldn't stop the fun and save him, haha :lol:
As for Ta'rea, she has a myspace too ;) :
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endid=63882976
I have no idea, there's like, nothing to find on him :sQuote:

*edit*
I did find, that before TLK he entered in StarAcademy and did pretty well in Idols.
And he went to this TLK trainingschool (don't know if they did that everywhere?) before he actually joined the show.
Still, no age found.
Wow HasiraKali, I noticed Wallace added you to his myspace! :wow:
I would love to add him too but I feel like I don't really deserve it... I mean he is so popular and well he doesn't really know me, but I can always leave him a message.
He's got a myspace music profile...I don't think he would mind you adding him :)...besides you can always frist send a message and then put add ;)
Nathalie...I think they all have to go to a training school for the lead roles...and when they finish with it and play the role of Simba, Nala, etc. they become instructors for this role in that same "school" :)
*yay* I find the age !!
In an article from November 2003 is says "the 26 year old Amsterdammer".
That that makes him now 29 :cheese:
*edit*
I just read, that the people who wanted to audition had to go to this school, and then out of those people they made the choises (also for the other characters)
Etienne was chosen out of 3.500 Simba's o_O
updiduuuu!! wow! hahaha, that's cause he's cute I bet ;)...and yeah, just wanted to write that about his age :D, he looks young for his age anyway :D
Apperently, lots of people though who saw the musical when he was still in it, said that his singing stuff wasn't all that good.
But now I read he got picked out of so many, he must have been good, haha.
Better then Danny at least :cringe: haha
For those who haven't seen him, this is Danny Yanga, the 3rd Dutch Simba.

http://www.dannyfansite.nl/Fotos/Pre...201_resize.jpg
Look at that smile :gasp:
:lol: That smile really annoys you ha nathalie ;) :lol: ...well, I think Etienne sings great, I like the higher voices...AND he's cute ;)...but Danny...OK, I don't mean to sound harsh but...(has been erased for authors protection :lol:)...are they planing on keeping the "smile monster" till the end?!:cringe:
He looks kind of nice when he isn't smiling though *blush* haha
Yep, he'll be there till the end.
And yeah, his smile freaks me out o_O
And his voice is nothing like all the other Simba's.
Also, what the others don't have, he still has this accent (from Suriname or Africa I guess), which you hear very good when he sings.
I find this videoclip of him singing "Shadowland" ?
(I always mix that one up with "Endless night" haha)
clicky
Well, he's a good vocalist, but I think his voice doesn't really fit Simba...and it's Endless night :)
But you can't really take the accent bad, he's trying ;) In London, you'll notice that Brian has an American accent when most of the others are soooo English...I like it tho :confused:, sounds more like the movie Simba :D
I don't really mind the accent, I just thought I'd point that out, haha.
But yeah, he sings good, but I don't know, I'm not a fan of his voice, hehe.
I wonder who they will take to play in Shangai ('cause I heard they would take an international cast?), and who will be the French one :cheese:
Maybe Roger Wright, since he's been in the original London cast and the legend of the lion king in Disney world in Paris :lol: He must have learned some French then :D...in Shanghai, I just hope it won't be a Japanese one...I don't know why I don't like Japanese Simbas...they all seem so skinny and small to me...and Simba is supposed to be a hottie, aight ;)
