"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

And holy hell that Simba was STUNNING.

She is also on the new official press version of Circle of Life.
But to be picky, I don't like how they chose to eliminate (been drinking) the black and white eyelids from her makeup, it just now looks strange with all that yellow.

Posted: 5/3/10 at 6:03pmHave to say... saw the show 1 year ago with this cast, they were good. But not a big fan of the show really, saw it twice now still not a big fan. The cast was great though :)

Posted: 5/3/10 at 6:12pmI think the Simba is Ako Mitchell who's playing Eddie in Sister Act the musical at the moment, you guys might have heard him in the Sister Act cast recording... I might be wrong, it might not be Ako at all, he just looked really familiar!

It's Andile Gumbi, who is also on the 10th anniversary recording as Simba.
This Rafiki is Brown Lindiwe Mkhize.

Helloooo Simba.
Great voice, too.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Posted: 5/3/10 at 8:18pmThe current Rafiki on Broadway was the only person who helped keep me awake.
#23This is One Crazy Rafiki, Y'all.
Posted: 5/3/10 at 9:37pmWell, the current one on Broadway is lively, but her voice is a little irritating at times, however, she has been playing Rafiki forever, starting in Toronto (and closing the Toronto production) I think she has been with the show all together for about 10 years.

Amazing singer. If she joined the Broadway cast it would be the first time I'd even think about going back to see that boring ass show since it opened 13 years ago.
And I didn't know Jason Raize had died. I just read about it, that's horrible!
