Editorial Reviews :
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.
Buyer Reviews :
I bought this CD at the Disney Store in the New Amsterdam Theatre right after seeing the Lion King stage play. I already had the original soundtrack from the movie, but the Broadway Cast version adds some songs and changes other originals. The voices of these actors are incredible. If anyone ever gets the chance to go to New York - see the stage performance and buy the CD - then you can relieve the most amazing production of our time over and over again!
