Jason had so much ahead of him, so much he could have done. I'm sad because he must have been in so much emotional pain to have taken his life. When I look into his eyes in the interview he looks like a child. I still cry when I see any of these videos of his work, I'm crying now. I hope you are in a kinder gentler place now Jason. You are missed.
Well unfortunately Jason is in hell. He isn’t in a gentle place he’s in a more extremely hot place called hell. That is because he commuted suicide and the Bible states that since Judas betrayed Jesus and committed suicide you will go to hell if you also commit suicide. It’s sad that he’s in hell, but that’s what you get when you give up your life.
@@MrStars-bj9yf The Bible states a lot of ridiculous things and that is because it was written by man. Written by men and used to create order. I wonder how much of the Bible you follow, and how much you ignore. Hope you have never worn blended fabrics (polyester), eaten shellfish, had sex before you were married. Your lack of empathy and understanding is disheartening, and far from the model Jesus Christ taught.
This musical is even better than the movie and the movie was awesome! I had goosebumps all over my body,I was almost crying because it's so great. I can recomment this musical to everybody! Can't get it out of my had since I've watched it. Great video,Jason and Heather are so great! R.I.P. Jason Raize,it's so sad that you're dead but you're at a better place now and you will never be forgotten!
I so wish that I had been able to see these two perform ... the chemistry between them is just right for their characters and they do an awsome job ... I am glad that I can still hear them sing these songs and I can almost feel like I am there .... Jason will be missed
Muita emoção e lembranças ao rever essa apresentação. Na Época do lançamento assisti 2 vezes no cinema, 2 vezes em teatro em São Paulo, Brasil. Compramos um DVD onde assistíamos também. Amamos. Que bom rever em Setembro de 2024. Parabéns sempre para todos os envolvidos desse espetáculo. Veraiz Souza, atriz e cantora d Brasil❤
Today, February 3, 2024 marks 20 years since Jason's death. It's a shame he decided to take his own life too soon. I don't judge him, he had his reasons and we must respect that, I just hope he now is in a better place and at peace. Always remembered never forgotten. Rest in peace Jason Raize Rothenberg.
I still can't understand, reading through the comments, this lovely gorgeous man Jason Raize is now in heaven....does not make sense. He's beautiful xxx
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! How I wanted to see Jason talking and acting in addition to singing! I have been ages looking for an interview of him! Thank you so much to the author! So much! Greetings from Spain.
"I really missed you" correction we really MISS you. Present tense. Saw the show probably a year before he passed. Didn't find out until over ten years later.
Such a sad tragedy:( what a waste of pure talented and beautiful person and actor! RIP Jason Raize! you are truly missed It just ruins me to see how talented this guy was and how much potential he had to be even greater:(
Jason Raize gives me the chills and the thrills every time I watch him in these videos or bootlegs of the show. He is the best portrayal of Simba in any Lion King thing, in my opinion. He really is The Lion King. He will be deeply missed.
I actually always find it really sarcastic that the (at 1997) most underestimated voices of the original cast are now probably the most hyped Simba and Nala (definitely rightful) Don't get me wrong I also love the others like Samuel E. Wright (although I find myself kind of preferring L. Steven Taylor and Michael Edward-Stevens) and Tsidii Le Loka (like she was killing it) It's just that Heather and Jason are bringing this harmony, this vibe that actually makes you really believe this story like it's real.
okay just reading the comets below me!!! Jason's dead! 0.0 what when did this happen!? why am I the last to find this stuff out :"( I loved his work man he was so good!!! On a happy note love this video! Saw the show a few years ago and fell in love with it ever since and no one dose it better then thoses two! :")
@christianpreachr In addition to his dad's rejection, he became depressed when this role didn't land him into super-stardom. In fact, he was unemployed when he died.
That sucks. I would never reject anybody for being homosexual. One of my best friends is bi, and that's fine with me as long as I don't have to see him coming onto a guy. I'm open-minded, but that would just weird me out.

@@MrStars-bj9yf Lying about the Bible like the demonic creature you are.
Mr. Stars Really dude? Was that necessary?

Mr. Stars you shouldn’t have said that. You’re disrespectful as fuck.
I love this performance with Heather Headley and Jason Raize, and the latter's interpretation of Simba is so sweet. :)
R.I.P. Jason Raize :(
Two people, no effect, no props, no choreo, just singing. But it feels deep to my heart. I love the way he act when she touches his lion face.
She's beautiful and has a gorgeous voice!
Facts
My heart is breaking =(
RIP Jason Raize
i have a beautiful drawing of jason that i keep in my room to remind me of his performing acts of the lion king and brother bear.🌹
Jason Raize will always live on because of this musical.

I was so excited when I saw there was a video I hadn't seen of Jason! That made me happy and sad at the same time. RIP Jason.

"It's like you're back from the dead" really hit me hard
I love Jason Raize and Heather Headly.
This version is on a sing along songs video I have. It's the only song I'm not embarrassed to actually sing along with. RIP Jason Raize.

Such a sad tragedy:( what a waste of pure talented and beautiful person and actor!
RIP Jason Raize! you are truly missed

Rip Jason. You will always be missed.

Magical. Simply a magical moment between the two.

@Stahi It's hard and sad to believe that we lost one of the talented men on Earth...:'(
R.I.P. JASON RAIZE 🕊🥀🕊❤️
"The Lion King" is highest grossing Broadway show of all time having grossed US$853.8 million.
Heather Headley and Jason Raize ughhhhh 😩😩😩😩♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a pity the only footage of JR singing from tlk are on shitty quality VHS recordings... never realized how tv came so far in 20 years.
:') im crying n getting goosebumps! mannnnnn this performance is sooo beautiful!!!
Incredible. It's amazing how much the world has changed over the last 12 years. RIP Jason.
I saw the play a few months ago, and can't stop thinking about it. Came looking for video of it. Thanks.
THANK YOU I was trying to find this video for the longest long live Jason Raize
R.I.P Jason Reize :(
Is this the same Heather Headley who played at the Hollywood bowl recently? She has such good voice control.

Me encanta la actuación, aunque tuvo que haber sido mejor en vivo, igual se ve genial y asombroso.
awesome video
omg i want to see it !!
such a lovely face
this Nala is the same girl from Aida???
Her name is Heather Headley
RIP :(
thanx!
Heather Headly!!
I actually always find it really sarcastic that the (at 1997) most underestimated voices of the original cast are now probably the most hyped Simba and Nala (definitely rightful)
Don't get me wrong I also love the others like Samuel E. Wright (although I find myself kind of preferring L. Steven Taylor and Michael Edward-Stevens) and Tsidii Le Loka (like she was killing it)
It's just that Heather and Jason are bringing this harmony, this vibe that actually makes you really believe this story like it's real.
I was about to say(type) that Heather and Jason are even more epic than the movie itself, but you've already nailed it. :)
okay just reading the comets below me!!! Jason's dead! 0.0 what when did this happen!? why am I the last to find this stuff out :"( I loved his work man he was so good!!! On a happy note love this video! Saw the show a few years ago and fell in love with it ever since and no one dose it better then thoses two! :")
He decided to take his own life on February 3rd 2004. He was 28 years old.
Heather Hadley, yes!!

That's our fam
@TheJrose7 - he's dead..... :'(
Rest in Peace Jason Rothenberg Raize!
WOW the guy that plays Simba is sexy!! i'm inlove.
@christianpreachr In addition to his dad's rejection, he became depressed when this role didn't land him into super-stardom. In fact, he was unemployed when he died.
How do you know that? Did you meet him?
@Stahi i know..... that was sooo sad to read
do you know what caused him to take his life? he is still so missed
MusicIsMe1444 i think he was very stressed and had a lot going on and couldn’t get out of it.

That sucks. I would never reject anybody for being homosexual. One of my best friends is bi, and that's fine with me as long as I don't have to see him coming onto a guy. I'm open-minded, but that would just weird me out.
