The Road Goes On - The Lord of The Rings Musical 

Dude same! My cousin and I have a country drive route and this song is always a staple

Us too 😊

Hahaaa I only recently realised some of the composers were Finnish and I’m look at it thru a different lens too haha

"rapturously God-tier" 👌👏

구구기획99Entertainment tell me about it!! It gives me goosebumps and makes me happy every time I hear it ❤️

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."

I am considering driving 10 hours to go see it... That is so rediculous, but I still may do it

I saw it in Chicago on its opening night! It was amazing! Well worth the flight out there

I also have the CD. The show was excellent 🙂

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.

Now you know why it is more magical

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.

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. :)

I wish I could find like a full recording of it, but it remains incredibly evasive

Welcome to the fandom. These stories are treasures and though many appreciate the works few enjoy it enough to find this song. Since your here, though, I can assume you are not a simple casual fan. I hope you enjoy the adventures of Arada

I LOVE this song :) all of the tracks are from the Lord of the rings musical, it was on the west end about 7 years ago :)

+HisForeverr omg i love it all! LOTR has been my favorite movie and everything for 20 years!

I dunno. It sounds too good to be sang by two drunk Hobbits. But, you are Gandalf, so I guess I shouldn't argue. :)

"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!

That's "The Cat And The Moon" from the same show

me and my mates sing this when we hang out to play DnD, haha!

Mrcxbpi.

It sounds a bit like the Martelé bowstroke to me, but I'm a beginner myself so I may be completely wrong. 🤔

I absolutely adore this song and we sing it to our son 😁

Eloise I can see why - I’ll be singing it on my walks from now on!

I guess Morgoth hasn't gotten on RU-vid in a while...

E.E. Dunn Being ejected from the world itself does tend to have that effect on a guy. ;)

Whoop 3 dislikes... looks like one of the Nazgul joined up.

4 likes...must be denethor smh

Gotta love that in 2 years only 2 more people have disliked it though.

I'm afraid they were never officially released. :( It would be a case of doing some Google research to look for them!

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 :)
