Title: Really, really tragic
Product review: In spite of how it looks, this is NOT the London cast from the current Lion King production. This is a singing group called London Theatre Orchestra and Singers. It is NOT put out by or affiliated with Disney in any way. The songs are similar, but words have been changed (reasons unknown). Even the familiar lines from "Circle of Life" are wrong (example: the line "through despair and hope" becomes "to the cir-ra-cle"). The beautiful Zulu chants so prevalent in the Broadway recording are literally gibberish here. True, Zulu isn't easy to sing, but any fool can read the lyrics from the B'way CD booklet and do better than this! "One by One" is so wrong (and so badly mixed) that I burst out laughing halfway into it. If you are looking for a comedy recording, this may fit the bill. If you want a really, really good musical experience, buy the Broadway cast recording.
