Who was Mufasa?
Who was Mufasa?
Shaun as Mufasa, Jonathan as Simba (when we saw him in 2006 he was Brian's understudy), Lindiwe as Rafiki (she's been doing it for 9 years now that I know of)
I love them both ... I kept telling Adam: it's Shaun, he's cute ! It's Jonathan, he's cute ! haha :lol:
Wait, Simba as Simba? 8O
The earbuds are so cool, and the plushie is so cute!
Everything moves, it's arms, tail, legs and head.
They didn't have the plushie when it was here sadly. I want it so bad. :lol:
It was all expensive though, blah. But since I was there, haha!
Hey, you guys remember Jead? You know, a fellow Mexican TLK fan? Well, she went today to see TLKoB in Mexico city! :D (It was her first time seeing the musical, so she had a blast xD).
I asked her about it, and she thought the song lyrics were pretty well adapted, with some minor changes. Shadowland, for example, here now it's called Tierra Gris (Grey Land).
In regards to merchandise, she said there was plenty (she got a t-shirt and a coffee mug), and I asked her if she could see if they were selling a CD album of the Mexican version. She couldn't find any though, and later found out it hasn't been released yet, buuut it has been confirmed in the main site that there will indeed be a CD released soon. Rest assured, I'll be on the lookout for that.
I suppose it will be available everywhere in the country, so I might end up buying it here. I'll let you guys know when I hear more news :)
Ooooo, don't even think about it when you see it, please get me one and gimme your paypal !! :D
Wpw, that's great news! Thanks for sharing. I'd also be interested in the CD. :D
Haha alright, I'll get it for you both xD
In the main site they only say it'll be released "in a couple of weeks", with no specific date yet. But that's from May 14th, so I still expect it pretty soon ^^
I also noticed some changes in other song titles, like The Circle of Life, in the movie version it's El Ciclo Sin Fin (The Endless Cycle), but now in the musical it's El Ciclo Vital (The Vital Cycle).
In the same way, Can You Feel the Love Tonight was changed from Esta Noche es Para Amar (This Night if for Loving) to Sientes Este Nuevo Amor (Can You Feel This New Love).
I personally welcome this change, it does sound much better :D
EDIT: oh and there's also this
Attachment 780
That would be awesome! Many thanks :)
I think the French, Japanese and Spanish lyrics were changed in the musical, too. And I know the German version also had some changes compared to the version shown in theatres. So it's quite common and not really a big surprise, I'd say. But I' really curious about the changes :)
Don't forget me!
Dutch was also changed.
That's the season I never went to see it in Holland.
Who wants to hear 'can you feel how the love is growing, in this jungle night' and 'everything breaths and is alive' (circle of life).
Its terrible in my opinion.
I believe I just can't wait to be king translates into 'ill will be the boss of this land' (if I remember the title correctly).
Noted :ayecapn:Quote:

It's understandable they wanted to go a bit of a different direction, but it needs to make some sense.
First part actually translates into "can you feel the love growing", which still sounds OK in the Dutch version, but then "in this jungle night" ? And that's a 100 % accurate/literaly translation, it's laughable, lol.
I also want the CD if it really be released.
Well, I just can say Emilio you should not lose the opportunity to see this show in your language.
Do as same as i done: get a plane and go to mexico city watch it there as soon as possible. It's an unforgettable experience.
Oh I really want to go see it in Mexico when I get the chance, of course :D I think that around July/August may be a good time to travel there.
I'll get a CD for you too :)
I've bought the deluxe picture book 3 weeks ago in London, and in the back it shows where the musical has been so far.
It only goes until Brazil, so Mexico from this year isn't in the list.
But it does say, it was already in Mexico in 2008!
Ah yes, I remember that. I found out that they had come to Mexico only a few months later :lol:
In my defense, I had only been a TLK fan for about one year. It was the same year I joined Lea, if I remember well :p
I think Mexico is going to release that cast album when the show has left the country :lol:
Have you seen the show yet Leor? (or did I miss this somewhere)
Eugh, I know, they're taking embarassingly long -_- worthh mentioning that when I contacted them to ask about it they told me to be patient and that it would be released sooner than I expect. I don't know, I guess it's just politics xP
I haven't been to Mexico City, so no, I haven't seen it yet :( I'm still hopeful that I'll go there soon before the year ends. I don't have many chances to travel lately
I'll just post this here.
This is actually the promo-single they made in France for the musical.
As you can hear, you can definatly hear the actors playing Mufasa & Simba singing along.
The guy has that typical Mufasa voice.
This is one of my favorites in every single language out of every song.

Here's my favorite Simba *sigh*.
Jonathan Andrew Hume, he's now the lead in London for quite sometime again, and was also in Signapore.
Those of us who were at the London meet in 2006, he was the understudy we got that evening.
He's definatly grown in his performances, me & Adam saw him last May he made me cry, haha, this clip from Signapore is already "old".

SEPTEMBER 11!!! :roar:
Finally! There's now a release date for the CD of the Mexican production, and it's September 11 :cheese:
I hope I'll be able to order all your copies soon, or maybe I can preorder them in stores here, I'll investigate ^^
They posted a picture of the covers being printed. Maybe as... some kind of proof xD

Excellent, are you going to buy all of the soundtrack for Lea members or they accept international shipping? ;)
Well, so far 4 people here have requested me to get it for them, so I plan to buy them and send them to each of their countries :)
But I could ask if there'll be international shipping, I guess
Wow, thanks a lot Leor!
I'm really looking forward to the CD now! :D
Can you get me one as well, pleeeaaase? :cheese:
Is there a website with merchandise then, that also will sell the CD?
My guess would also be, ordering from a website would have more shipping costs to a foreign country ordering it directly.
Sure thing! I'll get one for you as well :) when the time comes you can PM me your address and I'll give you my Paypal account ^^Quote:

I could order it from Leor but I believe the international shipping will cost more than the CD itself. >.<
Yay! I should play it in class and see how my kids react. :lol:
Emilio, when you have an exact price of it, please let me know before getting my copy, as right now Brazil is suffering a serious economic crisis, the dollar exchange rate "exploded" (was 2,20 now 3,70 and still rising) and I may not be able to buy mine right now :(
Was because of that I didn't participate in this year secret Santa. As every thing here are tremendously expensive right now.
Aww I'm sorry to hear that, Thiago :( the dollar exchange rate has quite rised here as well in the last few years, and it has us concerned here too, so I can somewhat relate.
I'll tell you the price as soon as I learn about it. But if you want I could keep a copy safe for you, and send it your way whenever you're ready for it, zero pressure :hugs:
Thanks Emílio, I really want it but I need to see if it fits in my incoming, as beside the exchange rate, everything here almost doubled its price, but my wage is the same. I never saw a so huge economic crisis as this one...
I will get it, if you can secure one for me, I think in the end of year, when we receive a extra money for Christmas, sure I will get it.
Alright, @nathalie;, @HasiraKali;, @Kirauni;, @s-tlk; and @ThiagoPE;
Sorry that this took me a few days, since I went on a little trip this past weekend, but I should let you guys know that I have purchased all your CD's, and they should arrive at my home within these days :D
They each costed 126 Mexican pesos, which is about 7.50 USD. I have yet to see about shipping costs, but for the time being you can send me a PM with your address. Once I know the shipping costs I'll let you know ;)
Thiago, I got an extra CD just in case you wanted it. I'll keep it safe for now :)
Thank you so much!
Whooow! I think s-tlk will get in contact with you about the address, since it's easier to send the CDs to one address in Germany. He'll then pass everything on to me. I hope ;)
Man...I'm so excited! :timonrockon2:
I'm crossing my fingers for the shipping costs not be so high.
But less than 8 dólares of the CD was surprising cheap in my opinion.
If it ends being less or near 15 dollars, I may get next month.
