The Lion EPK
The Lion is a one-man folk musical telling a true story of survival. With a guitar in hand, Ben confronts his turbulent life's journey from a rift in his childhood to his own brush with mortality. During 70 minutes of songs, monologues and virtuosic guitar playing, Ben tells an inspiring story of love, loss, despair and hope that reminds us how, even in our darkest moments, music, family and community can help us find our true voice and the strength to 'Weather the Storm'.

      Love all the so called 'flops' 'Me and Juliet'; 'Pipe Dream' and especially 'Allegro' saw it in concert at the Barbican in the early 1990s and it was fab.

    Great singing, decent arrangement, and she's acting the role. A lot of girls sing this song like they're happy--because of course they are, it's a great song, anyone would enjoy it. But the girl singing the song is miserable, because she's nuts about this guy and he's married to somebody who is wrong for him, but he can't see it (yet). I wonder if Allegro would have worked better if the character of Emily had been given a bigger role in the story. Probably Hammerstein wondered the same thing.

    the line “how can i live up to this” sends shivers down my spine and is maybe my favorite line in any musical.

    LYRICS: Who needs a lot of space? Who needs a lot of light? I’ll get myself a chair A pad and pen to write A ficus for the corner And some pictures hung just right And I have almost everything I need I’ll take some wooden crates And make a makeshift bar There’s an antiques fair in Rhinebeck I’ll just borrow someone’s car Some curtains for the window And some daisies in a jar And I have almost everything I need So it’s a bit dark So it’s a bit damp I’ll just close my eyes, Pretending I’m at camp It’s going to be great It’s going to be fun With a prayer for good luck And a bucket of Windex This room will be perfect For one The smell of baking bread Some good books I can read A fire escape for dreaming And a heart that’s finally freed A brand new life without you I’m a happy girl indeed And I have almost everything I need I have almost everything I need.

    Is there a video of one of the performances? It seemed in the preview that there was quite different staging in this production compared to others, and more dance. I would really love to see how Charing Cross Theatre deals with the book and music. This production looks absolutely fantastic from the little bit I found online!

    These lovely lyrics mean so much to me, as the moon has had a personal significant since I was 7 and my dad told me I had the same name as the Roman moon goddess Diana. I've only recently discovered Mr. Fraser's remarkable voice (and impressive CV!), and his interpretation of this song is both stunning, and gently calming, as I have no idea as to when I will be able to again hug my granddaughter. It was good to find a convenient way to donate from the US, as I have streamed and watched many filmed British stage productions during the past few months. Thank you to everyone involved in creating this video, am grateful to contribute in a very small way to benefit people in the British theatrical world, and am looking forward to when we can all attend and enjoy live theater again.

    Aw. How utterly gorgeous. Like the very best songs it achieves its poignancy through a clarity and simplicity that’s very moving. It’s message could be applied to so many occasions in our lives and I think it’s going to be around for a very long time. Beautifully arranged and performed too. What a fabulous idea.
