VID REC: The Lord of the Rings - Lord of the Rings Musical Press Reels
Musical Artist: Original London Production (full cast and crew list available on the website linked below), Music by A.R. Rahman, Värttinä, and Christopher Nightingale, Lyrics by Shaun McKenna and Matthew Warchus
Length: 9:57
Website: The Lord of the Rings - On Stage
Why you must watch this vid:
I was fortunate enough to see one of the final performances of this at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane (thanks to my boyfriend who got tickets and drove us from Cheltenham, risking congestion charges and braving London traffic to take me for my birthday as a surprise) and it was AMAZING TO THE MAX. Just watching this video someone put together of some of the press reels of this musical have me tearing up with nostalgia.
This was the most expensive musical production ever staged, and It. Is. GLORIOUS. I wish it were still playing so I could go back and see it again, but at least I have YouTube (and my memorabilia)! I highly recommend surfing around YouTube to see other clips of this musical (look for the London production rather than the Toronto production). It's the familiar story reinterpreted for the stage, and it fills my Drama-teacher soul with glee.
