On the African prairie, endless life is multiplying and gestating. The sun rises from the center of the stage, and all the animals on the grassland come in from all directions of the theater, naturally blending into the moment of life. A newborn lion king, a story about love, courage and human weakness begins. Disney's musical The Lion King kicked off in The Passion of Life.
The musical The Lion King is a major breakthrough for Disney. In addition to the music, scenery, lighting and sound effects, the audience can also have a rich sensory experience. All the characters are represented by puppets that move synchronously with the actors, which not only does not restrict the actors' performance, but extends the body language of animal gestures expressed by the human body to another field. Compared with the original comic book of The Lion King, the musical "The Lion King" has added more African native colors. "The Lion King" on the stage is no longer just a story for children, it depicts the human nature under the interest struggle more deeply.
After the happy and glorious blessing ceremony of the little lion king, the scene immediately changed to the darkest corner of the kingdom. There, Scar, the brother of Mufasa, the lion king, complained of unfair fate. Scar, who is bent on the throne, is bent on revenge because of the birth of Simba, the little lion king, which makes his hope of becoming king more and more slim. Under the hereditary system of succession to the throne, if the hope of being king fails, I think he can only blame others, right? Of course, the reason why Scar became the so-called villain in this play is definitely not the injustice of fate. I think he is a person who lacks love, confidence and faith. The desire for power became his expression. If the story of the Lion King is used to imagine the childhood of Scar and Mufasa, Mufasa, who was born to be the king, must be the focus of everyone, and all expectations for a better future are pinned on him (it should always be in the spotlight, just like Simba was in the glory kingdom when he was a child. On the other hand, although Scar grew up in the same family, her parents' eyes were focused on Mufasa, and Scar had no chance to be loved and didn't know how to love. No one told him the value beyond the throne, so he took power as his belief. After all, this is the biggest difference he can feel from Mufasa. However, the characteristics of the characters portrayed in the play are exaggerated, but we can infer that everyone's personality is formed for a reason, which is just my point of view.
So, when Simba grew up, Scar used Simba's exuberant curiosity to pave the way for her to the throne step by step-planning the murder of Mufasa and Simba.
Let's look at Mufasa again. I think the most touching part of the whole play is that under the starry sky, Mufasa patiently taught Simba the meaning of becoming a king, the natural continuation of life and the true meaning of courage. Whether it's cartoons or musicals, this passage and Simba's helplessness in losing his father always make me cry. In The Lion King, Mufasa represents love and wisdom. Although half of Mufasa died to save his son, his wisdom runs through the whole play with Simba. I think this profoundly reflects the parent-child relationship in real life. Parents' wisdom comes from rich life experience, but these life truths still need their own experience and profound thinking to really understand. When children are still ignorant, a lot of wisdom in life is incomprehensible. In addition to ensuring the healthy growth of children, parents' biggest task is to let their children learn these wisdom, cultivate correct concepts and avoid any possibility of going astray. However, for children who have not yet understood, these truths only represent constraints. We must wait until we have a certain understanding of people and things before recalling these constraints, so as to truly understand the wisdom behind them.
Under the deliberate arrangement of scar, Mufasa died unexpectedly. Sad and at a loss, Simba fled to the jungle and began a completely different life experience. In this jungle, he met Pumbaa and Timon. They have a completely different philosophy of life: forget the past that cannot be changed. Is forgetting really the best treatment for the past you don't want to face? The starting point of forgetting the past is to unload the heavy burden of the past, because when people can't let go of the past, they often change some values about things, especially their views on themselves. Such a burden sometimes forms a negative prejudice, which makes people's minds narrow and unable to absorb and accommodate other thoughts. I think the carefree growth of Pumbaa and Timan and Simba has a positive impact on Simba. If Simba has been obsessed with the pain of the past, perhaps he will not be able to appreciate friendship or develop a sense of responsibility eager to protect others, and then he will not be able to face the past and return to that glorious country.
In the glorious kingdom ruled by scar and hyena, animals can't live as usual. The food chain is destroyed and animals migrate. Although Scar got the throne, she didn't get the love of the people. A scene was cleverly added to the musical to illustrate the doubts in Scar's heart. Scar asked Changsha Zu, the front of Mufasa, why he didn't get the love that the king deserved. People whisper his name, but is it good or bad? Only look at the scar of superficial value and don't reflect on what you have done. But stubbornly believe that when he has a queen, others will respect him especially, or at least one person can love him responsibly. Here, the human face with scar longing for love appears in front of us again. But the scar of believing in power can never understand how to be loved by caring about his kingdom; So he will never be satisfied with his power.
The description of love in The Lion King is actually implicit and strong. When Nora, Simba's playmate of the same year, was forced by circumstances to leave the glory country, she met Simba again in the jungle. They developed a love story because of their nostalgia for the past. No matter how open the western culture is to the expression of feelings in our oriental eyes, I appreciate the performance of love in The Lion King. The love between Simba and Nana is very romantic, but it also gives Simba great strength, so that they can return to the glorious country together and regain their lost homeland. I think it's great to work together for the same goal. With the characteristics of a lioness, Nana's role is actually very modern. She represents the maturity and independence that modern women should have, and also fully demonstrates her courage to fight for the future. In the musical, the actress who plays Nana shows this temperament incisively and vividly with her rich and sonorous singing voice.
The Lion King is an intriguing story, and the amazing stage performance captured the hearts of all adults and children. After watching the whole drama, Rafiki's funny, little Simba's lively and unrestrained, and Sha Zu, who kept quarreling from beginning to end, all had impressive performances. This musical is quite successful and worth savoring.
Musical "Cat"; Feelings after reading it.
When I got on the subway from school to Tianhe Gymnasium, I didn't feel that I was simply taking the means of transportation-I boarded a route leading to my dream, and the destination was the end of four years' waiting, the realization of hope and the sublimation of reality.
Cats.
The eyes flashing in the dark on the poster of the venue once made me yearn for, once made me look forward to and once made me dream.
I never dreamed that I could be in my favorite city, without going back to new york or waiting for London.
Enjoy my favorite musical in the movie.
Arrived at the performance venue almost an hour in advance, and specially put on a more formal new dress.
"It's like an ignorant and boring little girl dating a handsome and charming first lover for the first time." I laughed at myself in the mirror.
I can't help it I can only blame this lover for being too perfect to deserve my infatuation.
Sitting in that rare VIP seat, every minute is as long as a century.
I know it's Guangzhou with the light on outside. She has taken off her immature coat during the day and lured the world with enchanting makeup. But I have no intention of thinking about it, and I have no intention of seeing it. The stage in front of me at this moment has become my whole world.
When the light goes out, I feel like crying.
Staring at the stage, it seems that I can't see how any jumping elf came out. This is a huge and heavy loss. I began to resent why humans have a physiological code that "must blink".
Hehe, it suddenly occurred to me that fish don't blink just to see cats, do they?
People around me inexplicably turned their heads to the audience entrance behind them, but I waited until I really felt someone around me.
Here they come.
Less than a meter away from me, the dancing elves danced and ran happily, and their gorgeous footsteps seemed to bring shining light in the dark.
The midnight dance drove Jellick's cat crazy.
It also fascinates me.
The cats asked—
"You were born blind? Can you see in the dark?
Can you look at the king? Will you sit on his throne?
Can you say that your bite is worse than your bark?
When you walk alone, are you a cock walking on the road? "
......
I'm not, I can't-that's all I can answer.
Continue to worship cats.
"Because Jericho is true, Jericho is true.
Jellicles society, Jellicles society
Jellicles society, Jellicles society
Jerichos can, Jerichos can. "
......
You are really, really cute.
"Practical cats, dramatic cats.
A pragmatic cat, a fanatical cat
Speech cat, Delphi Oracle cat
A suspicious cat, a cat with indigestion
A romantic cat, a pedantic cat
Critical cat
Fable cat, metaphor cat
Statistical cats and mysterious cats
Political cat, hypocritical cat
Pastor cat, hysterical cat
Cynical cat, Jewish cat ... "
I miss song for you, too.
Cat, mouse. cockroach
For the supporting role, I also want to offer my most sincere praise.
The second time I watched the cat video, I found a phenomenon that shocked me very much-every cat is so serious all the time. Even a kitten who is not noticed, even a small role standing at the end, is always trying to shape the image of a cat with its own expressions and actions, regardless of whether anyone pays attention.
The cats walked off the stage while whispering to each other.
There are two humble cats beside me. They make a charming sound like talking, telling us why a cat has three names.
A cat that doesn't even know its name says "name, name, name …" and always maintains the charm and pride that a cat should have. He is so close to me that I can hear his breathing and snoring, just like a cat.
There is also an empty chair curled up in front of me, scratching his ears like a cat from time to time.
I, a man who has had four cats, of course love him.
They are so charming and beautiful.
If cats are serious, it is inevitable, because this musical is called "cats" after all, because I am the audience in front of them after all.
So, what about rats and cockroaches?
In this musical called Cat, rats and cockroaches on the stage can't be said to be eye-catching characters, can they?
A perfect work is like a world. All the actors should work together with Qi Xin, otherwise, it is meaningless.
The mice and cockroaches in Cat must be doing the same thing over and over again in every performance.
But they are still so serious.
We can have different attitudes towards life.
However, even if we are rats and cockroaches in cats, we should be serious rats and cockroaches.
Rum tangtag
Rum Thumb Tag is a curious cat, yes, a curious cat, probably the most popular one.
When he came out with a meow, I heard the girl take a deep breath.
And myself, I am too lazy to hide my spoony smile.
Rock cat Ruotengtag always looks gorgeous, telling everyone that he doesn't like what he gets, but he always wants something that doesn't belong to him.
Of course, his unruly, unruly, charming and affectionate attraction is not only Victoria and her beautiful young female cat.
And the audience applauding.
I remember the video of herding cats, a junior high school music teacher. When the rock cat appeared, everyone's eyes were tightly hooked by the small TV set. That night, I chatted with a boy who was not very interested in foreign music. Although I can't see each other's expression through telephone chat, I know he is smiling when I talk about Ruotengtag.
-"That guy is so handsome."
This handsome boy has such a skill that everyone who sees him can't help laughing.
The screenwriter used the technique of side contrast brilliantly, from the obsession of the little female cat to the arrogance of the hero cat monk Tripp, which made the whole appearance of Ruotengtag more interesting.
This happy cat, this charming cat, won warm applause from the audience.
He put on a proud smile to thank everyone and blew a kiss to the little mother cat beside him indifferently.
How cute can a spoiled cat be? Just look at Ruttentag.
Wu. Grisa Bella
I think it's impossible for anyone who has seen cats not to be impressed by Griz Bella.
I have always admired the actor who played this charming cat, not only because Sarah, whom I admire, once played this role.
Look at her tattered clothes and her aging face.
I can't help sighing.
That can make the ghost of the opera house deeply fascinated by her. Christine is ridiculously beautiful; Miss Saigon's beauty is unpretentious, and every smile is deeply fascinating; Not to mention the charming revenge girl in Chicago. ...
It happened that Cat was the greatest musical in Broadway history, and the most important female character appeared as an old and ugly image, which was also spurned by everyone.
Barstow Fo Jones, a rich cat on the stage, is holding a spoon and swinging his chubby body, which immediately reminds me of Lagerhorn in Hewlett-Packard. Everyone danced with him, but Grize Bella had to leave sadly. I looked at her. When she left, she looked back at the stage several times with nostalgia, and then continued to walk away with faltering steps.
At HBP, Lagerhorn said that when he learned that Filch had caught Draco who broke into the Christmas party, "there is nothing wrong with wanting to go to the party".
There is nothing wrong with wanting to go to the dance. I want to cry when I think about it
It's hard to leave the world that once contained me, travel and take risks. When I'm tired, I want to go back to my original place and take part in a rare carnival.

Monks Tripp's introduction on the leaflet is a bit funny-"A cat is the owner, and it listens to all directions to protect its family", which is actually quite appropriate after the joke.
Anyone who knows me better knows that the desktop of my computer has been Akai Shuuichi for a long time.
But now, the desktop of my laptop is monks Tripp.
They are actually the same role, except that Hugh is the steel wedge in the FBI and monks Tripp is the steel wedge in Cats.
It used to be thought that the name "hero cat" may be a mistake caused by ambiguous translation, and the correct translation is "protagonist cat".
Because without him, the whole story is not a story.
But a closer look reveals that the title of "hero" actually suits him very well.
He is the most reliable confidant and second-in-command in Jellick's Cat.
Although his ability to plan performances is open to question, he is really a good cat.
Old Wei Bo is the leader of the cats, and even Jottentag, who is proud of everything, sings praises affectionately (monks Tripp is not the only one who is surprised by this).
Although I can't win the respect of this strange cat like the old commandment, I can also feel that cats including Ruotengtag have placed deep trust in him.
In the absence of Bob, the old commandment, monks Tripp is responsible for leading all cats to behave themselves and do their own thing.
Later, the old man was kidnapped, and he once again shouldered the burden of taking care of all the cats. It was he who recognized the old commandment "Bo" pretending to be McVittie, and then he was the first to rush up and fight with him. After McVittie escaped, he was trapped in the dark to comfort other cats injured in the battle. ...
This makes me feel that as long as monks Tripp is around, no matter what happens, no matter what happens, there will be a hero to give you the greatest support and protection. Then, no matter how dark the surroundings are and how terrible the situation is, you can have a deep sense of security.
Alas, it's a pity that there is no such person in my life.
Qi. space
The first scene ended with a Chinese lyric "Memories". I hurried to the bathroom at halftime, and I was glad I was in a hurry when I came back.
When I got back to my seat, there were thunderous cheers around me.
Because cats leave the background to play in the audience.
I looked around to see if Ruttentag was there, but suddenly I found a furry thing curled up at my feet.
The cat scratched its ears lazily and yawned. It was very cute. I looked at his lazy eyes and froze in surprise.
Then a girl stubbornly ran over and hugged his friend who wanted to accompany him enthusiastically to take pictures of her.
I immediately had the idea of "going to hit the wall" because I didn't bring my camera.
I wanted to squat down to at least say hello to the lazy cat, but Mongo Jerry and Lampotti suddenly appeared with their acrobatic gorgeous dances, which scared me to stop.
Lampotti played with a puppy ornament on a spectator's bag with great interest, and then ran away off guard. Then she "stole" a lady's handbag and hid aside to "share the spoils" with Mongo Jerry, which caused everyone, including the handbag owner, to laugh.
As I watched with great interest, I felt something behind me.
As soon as I turned around, I saw the sexy and mature civet dancing lightly (I forgot the name ... anyway, this is the sexiest one ... I think she is a civet ... well, it was later wrapped in cloth by a magical cat and turned into the original one ...), and the lazy cat looked up at her and slowly left. Then, a beautiful little female cat appeared, as if comparing with her companions to see who was more beautiful.
So, two stunners posed in front of me.
What? Tianhe gymnasium? Don't!
I'm certainly not anywhere in Guangzhou!
I'm at Jerry's cat's ball, in an unknown place!
Ba. Macavit
Compared with Victoria's difficult solo dance in the first act, Jenny's tap dance with cockroaches and mice, Shuai Shuai's modern dance and the magnificent performance of thieves and cats in the second act, the second act doesn't seem so dazzling.
However, Gus's sudden change into Grotta's still surprised me, a person who has only seen videos. I also like the way Skip Spinkins jumps around the "train" that everyone builds with lampstands and other things. The song "Happy Moment" by Lao Jiebo made me sigh "Why summer is delayed and when time will flow away", but what really attracted me was the song "Horse Cave", in which two female cats danced charming and sexy, and criticized Macavette's evil with beautiful voices.
Throughout the evening, the lyrics that moved me the most were "We have to find the old Deuteronomy". McAviti took the old captain away, injured the cats and cut the wires. The cat sings so helplessly, so sadly, which makes people feel pity.
The injured cats comforted each other in the extremely weak light.
But even if everyone is scarred, even if everyone is at a loss, they can still comfort and help each other.
How can people not do these things that even cats can do? !
When everything around us is shrouded in darkness brought by sin, there are still kittens who can find light, light and hope.
At least, we still have love
Macatee? Napoleon of the criminal world, what are you? !
Nine. Amazing!
There is nothing to be afraid of in darkness and nothing to be afraid of in sin.
In the world, there is always magic.
There is always a time to turn on the light again.
Mr. Misto Fries, the magic cat, made a gorgeous appearance and danced that classic ballet.
The audience began to be enthusiastic and cheered warmly.
It suddenly occurred to me that in our life, there will always be times when all the light sources are cut off.
Of course, McVittie has escaped.
However, there is nothing to be afraid of.
As long as you are willing to believe in the magical power of love and courage, Mr. Misto Frith will always appear.
The magic cat may not be a real individual, but a savior created with everyone's love-he can dispel all the darkness and haze for us.
I can't help rethinking the world I love deeply.
Love and courage, which I have believed since I was eleven years old, how can they be left behind after betrayal and separation?
No, right, no.
I found that the cat was so similar to my beloved Hewlett-Packard, so I couldn't help clapping when Mr. Mistofires was walking in circles, and I didn't feel tired at all.
I still want to count how many laps he can turn, but after only a few laps, he is already a little dizzy. But when he stopped, he was still calm and powerful.
Amazing!
Haha, I think magic has always existed.
Sure, sure.
History. Memory
Hearing the melody of griza Bella again, I knew I was going to hear the memory for the third time.
"Memory, turn your face to the moonlight.
Let your memory lead you.
Open the door, come in.
If you find the meaning of happiness there
Then a new life will begin.
Memory, alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the past days.
I was beautiful then.
I remember when I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory reappear
The smoky days are over.
The stale cold smell of the morning
The street lamp went out and another night passed.
Another day has begun.
It's dawn, I must wait for the sunrise.
I have to think about a new life.
I can't give in
When the dawn comes tonight, it will also be a memory.
A new day will begin. "
The soft melody makes people want to cry.
In fact, when I first heard this song, I didn't know what a cat was, and I didn't understand the lyrics at all-in primary school, my best friend gave me a CD as a birthday present, and sarah brightman's Moonlight Goddess collected all the moon-related songs of this Moonlight Goddess.
I am deeply fascinated by the femininity of Moon River and the lightness of Hijo De La Luna, but I feel very confused when listening to Memowy, and I really can't think of the relationship between memory and the moon.
Without careful consideration or examination, this problem was deeply buried in my heart. It was not until four years ago that I first saw a video of a cat.
Looking at this abandoned cat, it took me almost all my strength to hold back my crying in the music room.
Even after hearing countless memories, I still wanted to cry at that time.
Is it true that all the beauty and happiness will grow old?
So what else do we have besides memory?
XI. Closure
Griz Bella finally made a positive result, washed away the lead and set foot on the road outside the cloud; The old commandment warns us that "cats are like you" and leads cats to sing the most gorgeous and meaningful songs.
I thought I would be sad at the end of the musical, but I was laughing.
I smiled from my heart.
With the main theme, all the actors came out one by one to thank the audience. I stood up and applauded, beating the time hard.
Ruotengtag's popularity is still very high, because when he came out, everyone cheered the most warmly, followed by Grize Bella.
It's depressing that I was the only one screaming when monks Tripp came out, but he still bowed to us in a very gentleman's manner.
Then the cats walked off the stage for the last time and merged into the audience. Lampotti bared his teeth at me, and the arrogant civet cat walked by lightly. Victoria smiled innocently and sweetly, and Grize Bella stopped stumbling. Ruotengtag made the girls fall into a state of anthomaniac. ...
The lights of the venue were finally re-lit, and the once lively stage became deserted, as if what we saw just now was just a gorgeous and ethereal dream. An enthusiastic audience shouted "Anke", which caused many people around to make fun of it.
Although I don't want to be separated from the lovely cats, I know that the gorgeous dance is really over.
Even if we can do it again, it will still be over.
There is no dance that will never end, and there is no dream that will never wake up.
The reality is what we must face.
However, thanks to the cats, I attended a dance that I will never forget.
Thank you, thank you.
