Okay, I found this out about a year ago, but there was a legit Lord of the Rings musical. I'm talking live-stage acting, singing, dancing, the whole deal. How I discovered this was by accident. I was browsing Middle Earth related music and a song from the musical happened to play. I instantly fell in love with the song and searched for more and *poof* I became hopelessly enchanted with a musical I never saw.
Unfortunately, it stopped running in 2007 (or was it 2008) and get this: THEY NEVER RECORDED IT FOR DVD
Why?
I don't know, but they should have!
Fortunately, there are some clips on YouTube (including a lot of behind the scenes footage) and I was able to get the album for my birthday so at least I have the music.
Seriously though, I adore this musical. The music, the songs, I love it all!
Why?
I don't know, but I enjoy it!
This is my favorite song from the whole thing: Lothlorien
Can anyone guess which characters are singing in this song?
(Also this was the second song I heard from the musical, and when I first started listening to it I was writing at the same time so when random snippets of lyrics reached my ears I ended up taking the entire song out of context and was very confused because what I thought they were singing about and what they actually are singing about were two very different things.)
This was the first song I heard: Now and for Always
You can probably guess which two characters sing this song.
(I kid you not I loved this song after I heard it for the first time. I listened to it over and over again.)
And finally, I will provide pictures of the characters we all know and love as they are portrayed in the musical.
