Oh yes. It is a good day.
Leave these pics up here till Tuesday will ya, haha, so that I can save some when I get back home ^^
They're not going anywhere. ;)
OMG great pics Amanda, TY!!!
I browsed the international sites recently - unfortunately I found out that the South Korean production is going to close after over a year of shows. Here is a commercial advertising the grand finale:
Korean Lion King Finale
Too bad they didn't come out with a cast album.
That sucks about the Korean production. Maybe they'll surprise us and release an album. :D Doubt it honestly, but one can hope right? ;)
You should have heard the squeals when this one, the first one I found, popped up. :lol:

hehe HK ... it is a cool pic yeah ^^
me is home again, *saves Simba pics* :p
OMG people so much happening here, I'm sorry I was off for so long, had loads of work!
But here I am answering the questions:
LK3, yeah that's Brian signed right there (Brian Makiwane), he started performing at the Pentages in 2000, he auditioned for the role of Simba but as most of you won't know, they wouldn't take a South African for the role of Simba in the States, so he got into the ensemble (aka the right- from a viewers point-animal with sticks hahahaha) Btw the guys doin that are also the leads in one by one, are grass-heads in grassland chants, hyenas and wilderbeasts and they're back vocals at all the songs.
Actually, cause he performed so well they offered him the Simba role in London (cause in england they didn't really care about his nationality not being English or American or whatever) and fired the original London cast Simba, umm...what was he, Roger something (so the poor guy ended up in the legend of the lion king in Paris)
Brian was actually the first South African who got the role of Simba.
I'll ask him bout the poster if I'll remember.
(btw got one of those posters back home, got it as a leaving gift, they sign them for different occasions tho, sometimes just for friends, sometimes for auctions)
God, HK, those pics of South Africa!! It's Andile as Simba!!! He's my besties boyfriend, she's gonna go woooohooooo when she sees the pics hahaha! Have to send them to her RIGHT NOW!
Yes, he was Simba understudy and ensemble member in Australia; both Sidney and Melbourne and he performed in Shanghai too.
Anything else I forgot to tell!?! :D
Guess what! :D
I just found this little article here. http://www.loganreynolds.com/artist/Roni/index.htm
I have no idea how accurate it is, but my sister was telling me today that she saw it on another Broadway site too. She was going to send me the link but she hasn't yet. Anyway, Wallace is going to be Simba on Broadway! :D I'm so excited for him.
And on an unrelated note: Have any of you been to the DisneyStore site lately? I totally want THIS
Anyone? :lol:
I saw that bag, hated it *blush* haha
I liked those bracelets though ... not to wear, just to have, haha.
But can't order directly from the website, stupid 30 ? border-costs :grrr:
Also, Clifton Oliver, the original LA Simba is in the touring cast that's in Hawaii right now. http://www.khnl.com/Global/story.asp?S=7073884
I have the first original charm bracelet, which I got at London last year. I really like it. Even a lot of the women in my family liked it and asked me about it when they saw me wear it. :pQuote:

I would like to have the new color charm bracelet.
I still need to get the second one. It's my next purchase from there I think.
I'm SO happy for Wallace that he landed the role on Broadway, it really shows his talent and hard work! He's my fav Simba actor too, and now I feel especially privileged to have met him in San Jose last year.
I saw that tote bag too, and I thought that button flap thing on the top looked really weird, but I'll definitely be getting it soon - along with the color charm bracelet. I was thinking about waiting until the next time I see the show but I don't know when that's going to be!
This most recent stretch of time since January when I saw it in Orlando with Hasira_Kali is actually the longest (9 months) that I've gone without seeing TLKOB since I first saw it in December 2004 and the pangs are starting to come back again with a vengance! :evilgrin:
To temporarily satiate myself I just bought a huge lot of TLKOB stuff off Ebay from a cast member in the touring company, check it out! (According to her,these are only available to cast members and not the general public, I've never seen either)

I like this style tote bag a little better than the Disney store one, it has inner pockets too and the logo is bigger.
http://students.washington.edu/tim300/tlkob_jacket.JPG
I've only seen this jacket a couple times before on Ebay and I made sure to win it this time, I couldn't believe it fit me just right! It actually had the cast member's name on the front right chest which I am in the process of sewing a TLKOB logo patch over (which also happened to fit perfectly over her name - just my luck) - I wish my name was Brianna but unfortunately it isn't.
:lol:
I also got the promotional TLKOB sales video (which is actually just the 5 minute TLKOB video from lionking.net that shows Rosie and David Letterman, plus a couple extra minutes of footage)
And some various U.S. National Tour stuff like the watch, keychain and button:

All of her auctions ended Sunday night so I was expecting a bidding war but for some reason nobody bid and I was able to get all of this for $50.
I :love: eBay.
Oh yeah - and I also just got the book called "A Day at the New Amsterdam Theatre" which pretty much just chronicles a day of the TLKOB production sometime in 2005 from the wee hours of the morning to well after midnight when the janitors are cleaning out the seats.
It's a great book with some wonderful, rare photographs behind the scenes, it even shows stuff like the secret behind the "waterfall scene" with Timon rushing out of the elevator to get back on stage in the 15-second time frame he has in that scene.
The book is very hard to find - but if you can find it I highly recommend it.
Awww, that bag, yes, only available for cast and crew members :)
I've got that book. It's available on Amazon isn't it? That's where I got it. I also saw it at the Disney Store in NY and in Downtown Disney. It's an interesting book. :)
I need to get some stuff on ebay, but I also need to be good with my money. :lol: I'm getting ready to go to grad school next fall so I can get a "real job". :lol: Then I'll be able to afford more TLK stuff. :D
New pic alert! As I said in a previous post, Clifton Oliver has rejoined the TLK cast. He's with the Cheetah company, which is currently in Hawaii. That means Wallace has moved on. I don't think he's on Broadway yet, but he's on his way. :D Here's a picture of Clifton.

EDIT: Make that three new pictures. :lol: I just found these two. These are also of the Cheetah company in Hawaii. That means that the Gazelle company is opening in Dallas later this week... maybe I don't want to drive up there then. :lol: ;)
Some random lionesses...

Wanted to tell I had an idea of taking yall for a Lion King backstage tour if we could arrange to meet up in London in the future...but after a lovely phone call I got told I could take a max of 2 people...watch out...including me, lol...So I though it would be unfair to pick one :( But hey, if we do ever get to meet up, I promise to introduce Brian aka Simba and Gary aka Banzai to yall :)
Two people period or two people per night? I hate being on this side of the ocean sometimes. :lol:
That's "odd" lol, you can take 2 people including yourself.
So it's like going out with yourself, hehe.
