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

Great Disney production March 10, 2010
YURIS J VELASQUEZ
I went to the Broadway production last year and loved it...
Like everyone in the world, I'd seen the movie when I was younger but the musical was definately out of this world... and so was the score! The vocals were amazing and the beats were phenomenal.

Great Original Broadway Soundtrack March 3, 2010
Susan G. (Connecticut)
Though this soundtrack's artists differ from the ones you will hear/see in the 2010 touring company, it is fantastic! This cd sold for $25 at the live performance of The Lion King that I recently attended. Amazon.com's price was right for a cd that is scarce on the internet.
