I've been blessed to see the musical twice on Broadway. If you haven't seen it, please GO. It's a traveling production. It's one of the most amazing experiences I have EVER had in musical theater and I have seen A LOT of musical productions on Broadway. What makes this stand out is stellar music, fantastic acting. unbelievable puppeteering (Julie Taymor's work is mind blowing!!). It's an experience that I hope all of you are able to have.
Since I am totally obsessed with this production, I bought the Original Broadway Recording of the CD when it first came out and it is one CD that I do keep in rotation.
By the grace of youtube, you can hear some of the recordings but again, I highly urge you to buy the CD or see the theatrical production.
What I love is that I have been listening to, "The Circle of Life" song in various languages via youtube. And, everytime I hear it, I have the same gut wrenching inspirational feeling that I can do ANYTHING.

SerenityLife,
I went to see the film with the music and have seen the same in Omaha close to where I live. You are very spot on about raving over the musical. I think everything works better on stage. The film is a bit claustrophobic but very well done. Glad to see you got to see this wonderful musical!
Yours truly, musikfriend
So glad to see you, musikfriend!! xoxo I appreciate that you saw the film. Wow, it was in Omaha too. I'm so glad the show is traveling. It's one of the best music productions. Julie Taymor is a master puppeteer. I saw something on TV about her training and was so fascinated by her work.
Big hugs, musikfriend xoxo
I saw a production of the Lion King in Toronto in 2003 and tears were streaming down my face, it was that good. A framed poster from the show takes centre stage at my house! Long live the Lion King!!
@darmuzz yaah! I'm so glad you saw it! I'm so glad the production travels too and you too advantage of that. I don't have a poster but I play my CD. I love it like you do. Like you said, "Long Live the Lion King!!"
I was a theatre major in college and I performed children's puppet shows as part of my first job, so I have a huge appreciation for big-scale puppetry. This year I saw "Warhorse," not a musical, but it had amazing larger-than-life animal puppets. But I love the story of Lion King, it has that real legendary quality about it, and the music from the soundtrack is fantastic.
