The Lion King Broadway Soundtrack - 09. The Stampede

[@Jayalaw]

Watching this live is quite enthralling, and suspenseful. We saw a touring production where the "tree" was situated relatively far above the stage, and you're praying that Simba's safety line doesn't snap while the dancers are mimicking a stampede.

[@niamsworldpatel9844]

No because I was on the front row on the show and this scene actually gave me massive chills. The way the puppets were rotating and the masks were truly terrifying!!

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

This song perfectly captures the suspense, the intensity, the fear in this scene. And the singers and music tell you that a tragedy is about to happen. Spectacularly put together

[@Kamifox1]

I saw the broadway version live the other day, I really hope I wasn't the only one in the whole theatre that almost became a mess of tears when Mufasa died. I mean, that bit always did it in the film but still.

[@SuperGirl-eq1le]

I cried too!

[@_Lindsey_Beth_]

I cried multiple times during The Lion King on Broadway! I was even crying during The Circle of Life because of all the crazy puppet animals!!

[@bifiankin]

I saw it in bristol in the hippodrome it was really good

[@Kessigah]

Wait Mufassa dies? Spoilers :(

[@AlcmeneUndertaker]

We all cry here

[@josephbacon9918]

... Long ... live ... the KING! I think Scar was actually referring to himself with this line. Then again, it could also just be very cruel sarcasm toward his brother.

[@caseybeasley-bennett6851]

It's just a final taunt for Mufasa

[@PH0B0PH1L1A]

also a hamlet reference

[@starsun6363]

Could be both

[@IJest]

Traditionally, when the king dies they've already named the successor, and he's set up to take over the moment the old king dies. "The king is dead. Long live the king!" In this case, Scar placed himself as the new king because he's planned to kill Simba. So, you're right on both counts.

[@icantcomeupwithagooduserna2581]

It's just to say how much of a great villain Scar is.

[@MunchkinJax]

in the play I was in, the back row of wildebeest had to catch mufasa as he fell. If we didn't catch him Right he would have broken his tailbone. During the practice the day before the play we almost dropped him. Its pretty funny to look back on because he was a swearing mess

[@heathervontater5726]

The sopranos in this song though. Bless my soul.

[@gareoutdoors3931]

probably because of the sacrifice that Mufasa put up to save Simba

[@kak4191]

When you're Mufasa's wife but low key want him dead so you join the stampede incognito. (True story. We needed more bodies onstage. I couldn't keep myself from laughing during the mourning scene.)

This composition is so strong that it doesn't even need words to tell the story! One of my favorite pieces of music! I loved The Lion King on Broadway, especially this part with all of the gazelle on the rotating wheel, it was definitely crazy to watch!!

[@anddestroyit2654]

I remember the panic as everyone got into their positions ready to run down the isles when we did this at school. This is one of the scenes I would really have liked to be in the audience for when we did it because it.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

Doesn't matter which version of this score you listen to, or which version of the scene you watch, the gravity of Mufasa saving Simba from getting trampled, only to be murdered by his own brother always hits HARD.

[@asailijhijr]

Dude! Spoilers.

[@EditorOfSL]

I don’t know if this is true for all the versions of this show, but when I saw it in London back in 2007, Mufasa shouted Scar’s name as he fell and I remember thinking “Okay, how come Simba didn’t hear that and put two and two together?”

[@nonamegiven19xx]

Because he is a cub watching his father be trampled to death and probably unable to process even that let alone some garbled word over the din

[@marisal48]

My dance recital used this one year. The theme was 'New York City Rhythm' and the last scene was Lion King. The advanced pointe girls used this song. Let's just say it was the favorite dance out of the recital.

[@AdmiralOctopus]

I've seen this production twice (once in London when I was 11, then again in Bristol last night), and it's really impressive how they did this scene. I think the London version may have been better due to having a larger stage and thus more space to work with the background elements, but they were both very good.

[@kornygerm]

the actor who plays simba is just running in place while the wildebeest chase him.when Mufafa shows and tries to break his way through, he saves simba..later its just the head of scar telling mufasa, long live the king and mufasa falls to his fate.
