Music reviews of The Lion King (Original Broadway Cast Recording) (Special 2-Disc Edition)
Music Review: Capture the magic of the live performance of The Lion King
Rating: 5 Stars
The Lion King is an extraordinary live musical theater experience and this two-disc CD/DVD set gives you a touch of the magic of the live performance. The CD is the soundtrack of the original Broadway cast singing the hits; the second disc is a DVD taking you behind the scenes in terms of how the hit musical was developed and you see the sets, actors and dancers wearing the puppets on stage; the make-up; and very interesting information about the process to bring the hit animated movie to the live stage. This two-disc CD/DVD set is wonderful for anyone who loves the live stage production of the Lion King. Until Disney Studios decide to allow a DVD of the entire live performance of the musical to be made this two-disc set is the next best thing. Inside the jewel case there is also a booklet giving you the credits and dialogue of the musical. This Special 2-Disc Edition captures the moments of magic brought to the stage in The Lion King. Note: The Lion King touring musical is a must-see for anyone over the age of three--I plan to see it every time it plays in my area and I've already seen it three times!

Description of The Lion King (Original Broadway Cast Recording) (Special 2-Disc Edition)
2 Disc: CD + DVD. Over 45 million people worldwide have come to discover the wonder, the majesty, and the truly one of a kind experience that is The Lion King, the world's most spectacular musical. Hailed by Newsweek as "a landmark event in entertainment," The Lion King is a breathtaking adventure that stretches the boundaries of Broadway, from the heart of Africa to the plains of your imagination.THE ALBUM:
The score features Elton John and Tim Rice's music from the animated film along with three new songs composed by the duo and additional music by Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor, and Hans Zimmer. This original Broadway cast recording combines powerful vocal storytelling, authentic African rhythms, and contemporary musical influences.
SPECIAL BONUS DVD:
This all-new addition to the release takes you behind the scenes of the London production of The Lion King for an exclusive look at how the story was adapted for the stage. this is the first time video footage from The Lion King is available for purchase.
An Oscar win might suggest a score that would need a miracle to be bettered--but this colorful stage adaptation of Disney's The Lion King does so with flair. Composers Mark Mancina and Lebo M worked closely together to fuse the movie's many disparate elements. Where there was a veritable army exercising creative influences for the animated tale, this brings it all under the wings of a like-minded few. This is genuinely apparent as one track flows into the next. The African rhythms--both vocal and in instrumentation--come across as authentic and original all at once. No doubt this is largely through Mancina's passion for peculiar instruments and the possibilities suggested from nightly live performances. "Grasslands Chant" is a good place to hear this. The hit favorites are here of course, but both "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are pleasingly unrecognizable with chorus and shifting beats. Better still is the likelihood they will now be eclipsed by some of the new numbers. Mancina's own "He Lives in You" being a strong contender. With a sound mix as crisp as you'd hope to find, this is rousing stuff. --Paul Tonks
