It was amazing... I was skeptical b/c I'm a huge fan of the book and the movies. But I was blown away, and as Katherine said the music was beautiful and the stage was astounding. They had to make a special stage for the show (which involved a 3-4 rings which spun in separate directions, and each ring was split into pieces which raised independently of each other, as did each ring; they used this for scenes when they climbed mountains, and Mt Doom)... they used the bouncing stilts like they used in The Lion King for the Orcs and Goblins... and Gollum's performance rivals Andy Serkis'. And at the end of the 1st act, was the Balrog scene... Gandalf turns his back to the crowd, the lights dimmed, orange lights turned on behind a curtain and a silhouette of the Balrog appeared... suddenly we noticed a warm breeze hitting our faces - they turned on heated fans blowing at the crowd to make it seem as if we were there - and then something starting hitting my face... when the lights turned back on, I saw what was hitting me... black confetti and streamers, which represented ashes. Absolutely amazing how they broke the 3rd wall and involved the audience. So... Don't knock it if you didn't see it :) I saw LOTR The Musical in Toronto.

Hey lets take a beloved cult classic, write terrible songs, hire people who can't sing or act, and fill it with jokes fifth graders would think were lame. It was terrible!! The musical started saying it was based on Evil dead one and two, but the majority of the dialogue was Army of Darkness. This could have been brilliant, but it wasn't even bad in a good way.

The music is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for the setting of Middle-Earth. And the production was amazing; the things they accomplished on that stage were nothing short of jaw-droppingly astounding. Such a shame it's no longer on the West End.
