Better Than the Original Soundtrack

So, whatever you think about the origins of The Lion King, Julie Taymor's Broadway adaptation is a stunning mixture of theater, puppetry, music, and dance. I saw the original Broadway cast in 1998, in the first year of its run, and I was astounded. I was fifteen, and didn't expect much going in (it's hard to please fifteen-year-olds), but it honestly changed my perspective of both musicals and puppetry in regards to edgy, dynamic, mainstream theater.
In short, I immediately went out after the show and bought the soundtrack, and I haven't turned back to the film soundtrack since. Not only are the African lyrics more emphasized, but they added new African songs (Zulu, I think is what language they're singing in), and many new songs that only add to the magic of the show. And if you've never heard Heather Headley before (she played the adult Nala), you're in for a real treat. The song they wrote for Nala is stunning with Headley's strong, rich voice in the melody.
So, if you've seen the stage show, buy this soundtrack and relegate the film soundtrack to the shelf. If you haven't seen the stage show, you might love it anyway, though you might be a bit confused to hear songs that weren't in the film. |

Great music - few differences from the movie soundtrack

I have always liked the cartoon version of this. It's basically the story of Hamlet, where the king is murdered by his brother and avenged by his son. Though since this is Disney, the body count isn't quite as high as Shakespeare's version, and there's more of a happy ending. But still...
This is obviously different than the movie soundtrack. The voices are different, some of the lyrics have changed, and there are a few extra songs. My favorite extra is "They Live In You". That was on the second Lion King album from the movie (came out years ago - I've got it around here somewhere...) and I had forgotten how much I loved it.
This is quite a visual soundtrack (seriously - if you've seen the movie or the stage musical, you can picture the entire story as it unfolds.) There's the carefree happiness of childhood, the terror of growing up, and the peace (and maybe more terror) that comes from the responsibility of adulthood. And you gotta love a song by a flatulent warthog.
Hakuna Matata!! |
