Haha, I think I'm scared!

A Lion King Christmas.. hehe.. now I've heard everything x)

It sounds quite interesting.. I'm sure Nath will have to add it to her collection

[King Simba]

Haha, now I've heard it all. xD

Though I'm with Uka - actually sounds pretty interesting yet sort of scary non the less.

[nathalie]

Haha, well, I'm not that fond of Christmas songs, but knowing that the cast from all over will sing it, and most of them have fantastic voices (in my opinion), yes, I would wanna have it ...

But since they only sell it in Holland at the theater where the musical plays, and on that website in ?, I might have to skip this one (and hope maybe someone will someday put it on ebay or something).

+ It's for a good cause, so ... *hehe*

[Simbaspirit]

are you sure its not bootleg??

[nathalie]

Nope.

If you read that quote box in my first post.

The CD will even be sold at the theater in The Netherlands where they play the musical.

The cover looks cheapish though I think, but I don't think the theater itself won't really be selling bootlegs. :s

Original record with the TLK cast from all country's.

[This Land]

Thats another CD to add to your soundtrack collection Nathalie if you buy it
Even though this album isnt really a soundtrack.

Thanks for sharing this with us, i would never think they would do somthing like this.

[nathalie]

But like said before, knowing that the TLK musical cast have good some great voices in there ... It's a must

I just need to find someone who is going to the musical in Holland.
Or wait till they appear on ebay.

*hehe*

Theater companies actually do this a lot. Phantom has a few albums of this type. And there's an organization called Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS that puts out a holiday album every year. TLK has been on it the past few years. I just ordered the CD btw.

[Sombolia]

<_< >_> That's um.. wow.

[Scorplion]

Okay, I could possibly... perhaps... maybe buy this if Jeremy Irons aka Voice o' Scar was doing all the songs.
And then he'd have to be singing them in a nasal 'I'm annoyed' voice. XD
Yeah. I'd buy that. Even though I loathe Christmas songs with a passion.
But this... meh. I think my overwhelming disdain for said Christmas melodies is just too much to overcome the want for more tlk stuff, sadly.

[Ralli]

Eh, I was excited for a moment. I was hoping the cast of the movie was going to sing in it... If some of them can sing...


I just thought it'd be hilarious to hear Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed doing a rendition of "Silent Night".


It'd just be fun to listen to- all of the songs. I could imagine Timon trying to steal the spotlight in one song and young Simba and young Nala singing "Zazu the Big Beaked Birdie", and just the characters in general interacting in some songs.


Except it'd be depressing sometimes, since Sarabi would be missing...And I'd hate it if she was replaced by someone else.


Ah, but these are wishful thinking...

[chaotic serenit]

I think Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick can sing, right? I know they've done Broadway together - at the very least, they're doing The Producers together. I think even Ernie Sabella has some theatrical experience.

It sounds interesting, but also somewhat ironic. A Christmas CD by a predominantly African-based story cast...

[HasiraKali]

Most of the cast of the movie can sing. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick were Broadway stars looooong before TLK. So was Ernie Sabella for that matter. He and Nathan Lane were in Guys and Dolls together as well as A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

[nathalie]

Odd then, that Matthew didn't sing in TLK 1 + 2 himself.

[HasiraKali]

It had something to do with how his voice was recorded. And his voice probably isn't really how Simba should sound. I can upload a clip of him singing something if anyone's interested.

[nathalie]

That'd be cool

I didn't even knew he could actually sing, haha

[HasiraKali]

Ok. I'll upload something when I get home.

[HasiraKali]

Ok This is We Can Do It from the Producers. It has both Matthew and Nathan.
