Looking for TLKoB midis

Mags! I love Mags. :D They're such sweet penguins. I got to play with one of Friday. Twas awesome. :lol:
Alas, I have only seen TLKoB once. But it was such a big deal to me, I pretty much memorized the whole thing while we were sitting there. :loL: I think I've said before that I cried before I even sat down. But I did see it with most of the original cast. I didn't see Heather Headley or Sam Wright since Heather had moved on to Aida at the time and Sam was only doing matinees for some reason. But I did see Jason Raize and Tom Robbins (from whom I bought a whole bunch of stuff from on eBay ;) ) I'm seeing it in 44 days though. :D I'm so excited. I've already put my no spending rule into place so I can buy all the stuff at the booth. :lol: And I'll be getting other souveniers as well. ;)

Anyone going to see it again in New York?

If I go to New York in June to see Lestat, TLK is also on my list of stops. ;)

Oooh, you might be able to see if they still have that Japanese CD there? *blush*

:lol: Nath's motives are revealed. ;) If I go, I will check for you. :)

Euhm, well ... I can't help it :(

But thanks, would be awesome if you could check it :cheese:

I saw a few new things, that weren't at the Portland traveling production last September. The TLKOB charm bracelet, which went for $20, had charms of the logo and all of the character's masks on it, I was going to get it but decided to see if it went for cheaper on Ebay, but it doesn't look like it: Here's a link to one in auction


Lion King charm Bracelet

And what a funny story about getting the autographs, looks like you had a lot of fun. I would have liked to ask the actors some questions and interact with them but it was already really late and I figured an autograph and a picture was enough of their time. And I'm glad you got a good pic of the tigers that was so cute!

And ironically while I was away I received the TLKOB watch in the mail... and I've never ever seen this at the Traveling gift shop either, and I don't remember seeing at the New Amsterdam! Paid $26 for it, probably a lot less than retail. It's really nice with a gold and silver plated metal band.

The scarf is fairly new, that might have been at Portland but I'm not sure. That's really all I remember, but there were a few things like the beanie hat with logo that weren't at the gift stand before but have been around for a long time and they were being sold at San Jose for some reason.

That bracelet is cool. :) I shall get it. :lol: I'm tempted to just get it right now on ebay there but then shipping would make it just as much. I saw those watches at the New Am when we saw the show. They had that version and another one with a leather band, which is the one I got. The face and everything looks exactly the same though.

Oh yeah, one more thing that surprised me - the Souvenir programs (the fold-out one with the full-color pictures) is now $20! It used to be only $10 for the longest time... but now it comes with a "sampler" CD from the soundtrack with five songs on it, which of course we all have already, so we're being asked to pay $10 more for nothing.

$20 for a program is a little ridiculous! IMO, the best deal at the gift shop is the beach towel for $20. It is really high quality and it's HUGE (it's like 3 feet by 5 feet)

But for you Amanda the best deal would be a free picture and autograph with Wallace Smith, right? 43 more days... :gasp:

Exactly. :lol: I'll probably go crazy and buy a bunch of stuff I don't need anyway. I'm awful.

Wow lucky! I want to play with one! :lol:

Wow HasiraKali, now I do remember you saying that you saw TLKoB with Jason Raize in the cast. (That's pretty cool you saw most of the original cast) You're pretty lucky. When did yo go? So it must of been a long time since you saw TLKoB.

I wish I could of had more time to look at what was at the gift shop, but I was in a hurry after the show since we wanted to get autographs. But that shirt really caught my eye. :D

And I agree with you Tim, $20 for a program is a lot. I think it's silly that it comes with the sampler CD. Because people seeing the show for the first time will already hear all the songs when they watch the show, (or already have it like us, even though we've seen it quite a few times already) and I think most people buy the soundtrack CD after seeing the show. I did the first time and so did Muruwa.

We went back in 2000 or so. Programs for most shows have been increased to $20. It's weird. :hmm: The one I have from NY was $15.

From memory the programs in Australia were only $10 AUS... or maybe $15 :confused:

Thanks Audra ^^

A day or two after the show, this 14 year old boy, named Louie asked me how the show was. (He's been living here at my dad's place with his mom and sister, a long story) Anyways, he told me that his friend's mom had front row tickets to TLKoB when it was in San Francisco, and his friend didn't want to go. :gasp: (But his mom made him) I was like, "Whaaaa?" Then I said, "Well why did his mom buy tickets in the first place?" Then Louie told me his neighbors gave it to them, because they were moving. (Or something like that) Then I said, "Man she should of sold them! I wish someone would give me free TLKoB tickets!" :lol: (And front row too!) I did ask Louie what his friend thought about TLKoB after seeing it, and he just said it was ok.

Just found this Med quality broadway comercial. Think its in Dutch but im not sure. You can here parts of The Circle of Life in the different language ;) Sounds Great

That's an awesome commerical!

And yeah it's Dutch. ;)

I remembered there was this Broadway page:

http://www.broadway.com/gen/show.aspx?SI=1263#

and that there's a long video thingy there...

Probably you've seen it, but anyway.

It's getting so close I taste it. The Simba sweat that is. :lol:

Zaya I've never seen that page before or that video! Thanks for that it was awesome! The more TLKoB videos the better!!! Mwhaha! :evilgrin:

Ewwww HasiraKali tasting Simba sweat... :lol: Haha.

More then 900 post of reply in this topic.
I do think we really need a new forum for The Lion King on Broadway ;), Just a suggestion ;).
