subject: The Lion King New York Broadway Show [print this page] Kids who were able to watch the 1994 animated film called Lion King werent able to forget this Walt Disney movie. It has become an inspiration of todays Lion Kings classic Broadway Musical that suits best for the whole family. As we can remember that the story is all about the young lions story named Simba. Her mothers name is Queen Sarabi and he is the son of the King Mufassa the king of their tribe. He had an uncle who has a plan of killing his father so that he can become their King. In the event his father died. He believed that its his fault why his father died.
At the Broadway musical show you will see that they scrutinize every detail of his life journey and how he comes home to complete the circle of life. It has been on stage for thirteen years. In fact, it has become one of the longest running shows in the history of Broadway. It keeps showing in Broadway and going strong today. It is good to be watch by kids at 6 and up. Of course, it is for adults also. It is more delightful to see more success of this show and become stronger.
The Lion King musical is different from other musical for their characters are animals. A delicate costumes and superb acting is a requirement. They really have to make their animal costumes realistic to make their characters realistic. This is to make their performance stunning. The actors portraying giraffe need to wear stilts while others are portrayed in life-sized puppets. The actors portraying lead characters like King Mustafa need to wear masks.
Another substance of a good musical show is their songs. Most of the songs they use are written by Elton John and Time Rice. This only tells us that the story is giving us lots of life lesson to learn. Their songs at act 1 are Circle of life, The Morning Report, I Just Can't Wait to Be King, Chow Down, Be Prepared and Hakuna Matata. The most remarkable of them all is the Hakuna Matata. It shows how relax and how easy life would be. This is what happens to Simba when he meets Timon, the meerkat, and Pumbaa, the warthog when Simba fainted in the middle of the desert.
The Act II songs written by Elton John and Tim Rice are the madness of King Scar and Can You Feel the Love Tonight. The song Can You Feel the Love Tonight in scene II is the moment where their Hakuna Matata life ends. Instead, this time is for Simba to make a decision whether to go home and take his throne as king or to deny it. It is not really an easy decision to make. Since he still remembers what happen to his father and he still blame his self of what happened.
It is going to be answered if you watch it live at Broadway. This 2 hours and 40 minutes or more musical show absolutely filled up lively musical scene and with inspiring story.
