Yes, that is Zazu. He's also shown in another place in the video where they're putting the orange tips on his wings. Also near the beginning check out the drawing of the gazelle on the wall, definitely a gazelle from Lion King. And near the end they show a person working on a puppet's hand. That looks a lot like Timon to me.

Wallace is a big improvement over Brandon Louis. Actually all the new principals are an improvement over what was dumped after Costa Mesa.

I love Meg Bussert. She was my inspiration when I was growing up. She's the reason I chose the theatre as a career. I remember seeing her do Kathie in The Student Prince at Pittsburgh CLO with Mark Jacoby in 1982. I wish I was closer to Pittsburgh so I could see SOM.

A Standby is a performer who does not have another role in the show and only goes on when the principal they are standing by for is out. A lot of times a performer will be a Standby for several different characters. An Understudy is a performer who has another role in the show (usually in the Ensemble). Most principal roles are covered by both a Standby and Understudy. Using Lion King as an example, suppose a Standby was covering the roles of Timon and Pumba and both performers were out. Th

re: Question for anyone who's been to the Orpheum theatre in San Francisco

There's two balconies in the the Orpheum and the second one is high and a long ways back. I've never seen a show from the front, but you probably would need binoculars to see faces from there.

"No Time At All" from Pippin.

Too funny! Sounds like the story of my life.

re: Which 'LION KING' Tour is coming to my city?????

You'll be seeing the Gazelle Company. The Cheetah Company will be in Portland at that time. I've only seen the Cheetah Company (which is excellent - especially with the recent cast changes), so I don't know how good (or poor) the Gazelle Company is.

Meg Bussert - the best Marian ever. Revival with Dick Van Dyke. It played City Center in the summer of 1980.

re: New National Tour Listings....
Feb 2 2005, 03:04:34 PM
Great Listing! I too would like to see a current cast list for each show. I'm always wondering who's in it or is so-and-so still in it, and it's impossible to find that information anywhere. Even calling the theatre doesn't work. Other than a major star, no one has a clue who else is in the show.

re: Worst Understudy Ever?
Jan 25 2005, 02:29:26 AM
Absolutely the worst understudy ever is Michael Rawley who understudies Scar in the Lion King tour. This guy isn't even High School quality. Embarrassing to say the least. Who knows how he ever got cast as an understudy to a leading role.

I prefer The Lion King. I've never seen the Broadway company, but the actors in the tour that I saw (except for a couple of the principals who were excellent) were nothing to write home about. But, it's beautiful to look at and has a wonderful story and music.
