An Oscar win might suggest a score that would need a miracle to be bettered--but this colorful stage adaptation of Disney's The Lion King does so with flair. Composers Mark Mancina and Lebo M worked closely together to fuse the movie's many disparate elements. Where there was a veritable army exercising creative influences for the animated tale, this brings it all under the wings of a like-minded few. This is genuinely apparent as one track flows into the next. The African rhythms--both vocal and in instrumentation--come across as authentic and original all at once. No doubt this is largely through Mancina's passion for peculiar instruments and the possibilities suggested from nightly live performances. "Grasslands Chant" is a good place to hear this. The hit favorites are here of course, but both "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are pleasingly unrecognizable with chorus and shifting beats. Better still is the likelihood they will now be eclipsed by some of the new numbers. Mancina's own "He Lives in You" being a strong contender. With a sound mix as crisp as you'd hope to find, this is rousing stuff. --Paul Tonks

 Lion King a must before seeing live production January 6, 2009
J. Raines (Seattle, WA)
This Lion King CD arrived very quickly and was a big hit with my granddaughter, who I am taking to see the live musical production in March 2009. Great music!

Rebecca L. Bartels (USA)
I think that this is so much better than the film score.
I have tastes for most kinds of music and after seeing the musical I appreciate the music more.
I love the songs "Shadowland", "Endless Night" and both "They Live in you" you get a feel for the characters more.
Definitly worth buying!

Took forever to get it, ordered 07/13/08 and received 08/02/08, but well worth it as it is the original Broadway Cast recording. Awesome!
