Another original Broadway cast recording from my recent New York City adventure, and the CD is fantastic. I've always loved the music from the movie, mainly because it does such a great job of combining African rhythms with pop stylings, so I'm thrilled to have all of the additional material that was written for the show on this CD. Most of the new stuff is beautiful african chant, along with some new character songs (I'm not so impressed with those pieces, but they aren't bad!). As far as the performances go, I think the Rafiki that I saw on Broadway was better, but the young Simba on the recording is much better than I saw live.Labels: cds, disney
