Differences between the musical and moving picture

The musical incorporates several changes and additions to the storyline as compared to the picture. The mandrill Rafiki'south gender was changed to a female part because Taymor believed that there was more often than not no leading female character in the film.[eighteen] Rafiki was portrayed by Tsidii Le Loka in the original Broadway musical, and by Josette Bushell-Mingo in the original London production.

The Panthera leo Rex on Broadway showing originally at the New Amsterdam Theater (shown); it is now showing at the Minskoff.

Several new scenes are nowadays, including a conversation between Mufasa and Zazu about Mufasa'southward parenting and a perilous scene in which Timon finds himself nearly drowning in a waterfall while Simba feels powerless to assistance him. A major narrative add-on is the depiction of Nala'south divergence in the scene "The Madness of King Scar", where the mentally deteriorating villain tries to make Nala his mate. Nala refuses and later announces her intention to depart the Pride Lands and detect aid. She receives the blessings of the lionesses and Rafiki during the new song "Shadowland".

Like its predecessor, the Dazzler and the Creature musical, the show adds more songs to its stage product, including "Morning Written report", sung by Zazu the hornbill and later added to the film for the Platinum Edition DVD release. "Shadowland". originally featured on the CD Rhythm of the Pride Lands with Zulu lyrics equally "Lea Halelela", was adapted for the musical with new English lyrics.[19] It is sung by Nala, the lionesses, and Rafiki. "Countless Dark", also from Rhythm of the Pride Lands with Swahili lyrics equally "Lala", is sung past Simba while reflecting on Mufasa's hope to always exist there. "One by 1", from the Rhythm of the Pride Lands CD, was adapted as the rousing African-styled entre act sung by the chorus at the opening of the second act.

Many of the animals portrayed in the product are actors in costume using extra tools to movement their costumes. For example, the giraffes are portrayed past actors walking on stilts. For principal characters such as Mufasa and Scar, the costumes feature mechanical headpieces that can exist raised and lowered to foster the illusion of a cat "lunging" at another. Other characters, such as the hyenas, Zazu, Timon, and Pumbaa, are portrayed by actors in life-sized puppets or costumes. The Timon character is described by Taymor as one of the hardest roles to master because the movement of the boob's head and arms puts a strain on the actor'south arms, dorsum, and neck.[20]

Composer Lebo Thou led the original Broadway chorus.[20] The chorus members are usually visible in the production, rather than being hidden in the shadows as seen in some other musical shows.

A new section of the production, the Lioness Chase, features a particularly complicated dance sequence for the actresses, and the trip the light fantastic toe is made even more hard by the large headpieces worn during the scene.

During the show's run in China, Chinese elements were included in the musical. Ane of the songs was adjusted to a well-known Chinese pop song, "Laoshu ai dami" or "Mice Love Rice". The cast even cracked jokes and attempted conversations with the audience in Chinese.[21]

Equally of June 27, 2010, nine minutes of the Broadway version were cut, among them the entire "Morning Written report" musical number.[17] The song was as well removed from subsequent productions and bandage recordings, such as the Spanish 1.
