    This song is great! I love that the Rangers are just listing landmarks and Merry and Pippin insert these random non-sequitur lines about food.

    When the elves are singing "Hilya! Hilya! Auta! Hilya!", I can't help but hear "Hiljaa! Hiljaa! Auta minua!" instead, which literally translates to: "Quiet! Quiet! Help me!". 😅

    If the songs of this was interwoven with the soundtrack in the films, the movies would just be more rapturously God-tier.

      The Musical was a financial failure and got shut down fast.
      I only recently even became aware of it, and sadly, there's no video version. It's lost to time besides this sound track.
      "The show was first performed in Toronto in 2006, before transferring to the West End in June 2007 with a record £25 million budget. By the time The Lord of the Rings closed one year later in July 2008, it had become one of the biggest commercial flops in West End history."

    It only had 1 run in London a few years back because it cost so much to make. It also had a small thing in Canada at the same time.
    Some videos are around youtube, but they only ended up filming a few, as no dvd was ever released. There is however a 2 disc cd still floating around on amazon which I bought which has all the musical numbers.

    • @emmelineburdett8537

      I also have the CD. The show was excellent 🙂

    • @andrebrynkus2055
      @andrebrynkus2055 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Toronto run was first, lasted longer, and had a run time that was twice as long. It was all around a better show for your money in Canada.

    1:52 will always give me goosebumps. This goes for the whole song, but especially this specific part just SOUNDS like travel. It makes you feel like Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, like you're setting out on a big adventure on a beautiful day. I think if Tolkien didn't LIKE the musical, he would've appreciated it

  • @clockworkjunkie_9120
    @clockworkjunkie_9120 3 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    I'm still so sad that I never got to see this musical... I'll never understand why it was considered such a flop either. 😔

    • @Accio_Eloise

      It cost about £13m to produce and then got some bad reviews when it opened which affected ticket sales. At the time it was the most expensive stage production ever and they struggled to make back the cost of the show. Supposedly one of the actors got their leg caught in the stage mechanism during one show and got severely injured but I can't decide if that's a rumour. It ended up being canceled less than a year after it opened. in 2015 they updated the official website to say "COMING SOON", but it has since been all but removed, and the website is basically blank now.

      Me too. Had the opportunity to see it with friends...who then decided they all wanted to play Halo 2 all day instead.

    • @andrebrynkus2055
      @andrebrynkus2055 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I saw one of the original Toronto showings that were over four hours long. It was an incredible show and you could tell that it was expensive considering the number of actors needed on stage at one time, the many costumes, and the very elaborate sets. (A mountain rose out of the stage.) It was just too expensive to make and they couldn't put on enough shows in a week to be profitable.
      After it closed the producers tried to save face by saying that Toronto wasn't a sophisticated enough city to sustain it. It sounded pretty stupid to say that as this was in 2006 and LOTR was still at its height of popularity three years after Peter Jackson's third adaptation. The show moved to London and they significantly shortened the production to just over two hours. It lasted even fewer months in London. (I guess London isn't sophisticated either.)

      Hmm... well, all I can really say is that I'm relieved its existence hasn't disappeared completely. It's a shame, but at least some aspects still remain (songs, a few scene clips, etc.)
      For that, I'm glad. :)

    Any violinists know what the technique used right at the start of this song is called (If it has a name)? That sawing sort of sound, it kinda goes through the whole song sort of like a pedal point.

      "The Green Dragon"
      Oh, you can search far and wide,
      You can drink the whole town dry,
      But you'll never find a beer so brown,
      No you'll never find a beer so brown,
      As the one we drink in our home town
      As the one we drink in our home town!
      You can drink your fancy ales,
      You can drink 'em by the flagon,
      But the only brew for the brave and true,
      Comes from the Green Dragon!

      Iona Fraser-Collins I didn't even know you left this comment! I'm just going through the comments on my uploads and saw this. It was the Lord of the rings musical on the west end. It was the most expensive musical to ever be created at the time, but unfortunately it didn't complete its world tour and wasn't fully recorded. It was teased to return in 2015 which I got stupidly excited about, but then nothing came of it :( I'll find a link to the original musical trailer, though it may be very low res. I'll comment the link once I've found it :)
