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

 Lion King September 3, 2008
Richard L. Wells (Yorba Linda, CA USA)
Took forever to get it, ordered 07/13/08 and received 08/02/08, but well worth it as it is the original Broadway Cast recording. Awesome!
Love it!!! June 7, 2008
M. Conley (Chicago, IL)
We've taken the kids to see the lion king broadway musical twice and this CD has all of the songs from the musical exactly as they are in the show. The kids love to listen to it--and so do I! The music is absolutely beautiful.
The best "Lion King" April 7, 2008
K. Bodshaug (Milwaukee, WI)
We have seen the movie and own it. We just saw the live Broadway performance and enjoy the differences in the music very much. My son refuses to listen to the movie sound track anymore. This CD is the best!
Lion King Review March 2, 2008
Justin F. Livingston
I do not own the soundtrack but I saw the show live on tour in Philadelphia and it is absolutely AWESOME!!! The soundtrack is a must-buy and if the live show is stopping in your area on tour it is a must-see!!! Two big thumbs up for The Lion King!!!
Worth the price! January 19, 2008
A. Harris (Detroit, MI USA)
My children and I saw the play (loved it) and went home and immediately purchased the soundtrack from amazon. Every since, they've been playing the CD over and over. It's brought a lot of joy into our home (and car, and other people's homes...we take it everywhere!) for such a reasonable price.
