Exaaactly. But yeah they closed it due to poor ticket sales in 2007. Pretty sure it only opened in 2006, too. I'm hearing however that it's doing well overseas?

[Simon Spier]

Thanks for the info!
I havent even heard of it

[Izzy Lightwood]

One of my favorite musicals period is Aida. I was surprised to find out is was a Disney production. And Elton John & Tim Rice did the music, so of course the soundtrack is amazing; they worked their magic on it just like they did with Lion King.

[Simon Spier]

I havent heard of that Musical before!
Sounds interesting

[Izzy Lightwood]

It's great.

A classic love triangle: Aida, a Nubian princess, is captured by an Egyptian captain, Radames. He soon falls in love with her and saves her from a life of hard labor and instead gives her as a handmaiden to the Egyptian princess Amneris, his future bride. Set against a backdrop of loyalty, betrayal, and forbidden love. Aida is the story of three people who are forced to make difficult choices that will alter history forever.

I fell in love with it as soon as I heard the songs.

[Simon Spier]

Oooh! That sounds really interesting!

[Izzy Lightwood]

So much love. It's a gorgeous story.

[Simon Spier]

Now I want to see it!

[Izzy Lightwood]

Yeah I wish they'd play it somewhere close to me.
I know they recently had a production in the Philippines. As if there had to be another reason I wanted to visit.

Here's one of the songs from it, with Heather Hedley (who sang on the Lion King II's Return to Pride Rock album) and Adam Pascal (RENT)

[Simon Spier]

Wow! That song is really beautiful!

[Izzy Lightwood]

Isn't it? I love it so much.

[Simon Spier]

I want to see this play now!

[Izzy Lightwood]

That'd be sweet if they did a production anywhere in Canada

[Simon Spier]

They totally should do it!

[Izzy Lightwood]

Even local productions would be awesome.
