Was so glad I came from the US for this, and glad I splurged to see it twice in one weekend. Please, please, please release a CD of the music for purchase!!!

There is an amazing album of the original show (lord of the rings the musical) with much of the same music

Oh my god, hearing the "Shine forever" made me cry lol. I never got to see the original production but have been obsessed with the music and videos for years and years. That gave me such chills to hear and see it reinvented.

It was EPIC! Loved watching this at the Watermill Theatre. How they managed such an ambitious play in a small setting without comprising on the acting, choreography and music is outstanding. My favourite theatre experience to date. It isn't everyday you see Gollum playing the fiddle!!!

Absolutely loved this production! Having seen it on the west end multiple times, this filled me with joy and nostalgia and the smile never left my face throughout. Having it between the intimate stage and the gardens was a master-stroke, and really felt like you were at the Shire. Can't praise it enough. 👏🧡

@theknack101 6 ай бұрын

Looks pretty cool. So is it an outside production and that small set is just for the promotion, or does it take place inside and is just really intimate? Looks pretty cool either way, would be cool if it gets brought over to the US eventually.

@lamplight8470 6 ай бұрын

I didn't see it myself personally, but based on what I've read online it does take place inside eventually (the beginning and the end are outdoors with the indoor part in between).

@@tonywatermeloni9833 Really? I'm surprised at that. How did you find that out? I did read a letter from my Tolkien collection in which JRRT responds to a man who wants to make a movie of LOTR but Tolkien refused cuz the guy wanted to change some of the names and didn't want to adhere to T's devotion to language... and this was in the late 50s if I recall.

a scaled down version of the show that played London's theatre royal Drury Lane some 15 years ago...I sat through half of that massive production untill the sets failed to move and Gandalf had to be evacuated manually from his platform...a valiant effort it was but these books are just too expansive for a 3 hour show..frankly it and its music bored me senseless...but maybe this present production has found a way to do it...who knows
