Zoo Story
Disney’s peaceable kingdom comes to L.A.
Even the show’s so-so music didn‘t really disappoint; few of the songs may be full-length numbers, but that only befits Lion King’s child-friendly format. And, actually, make that adult-friendly as well, since few of them, with the exception of the Tokens‘ 1961 doo-wop classic, ”The Lion Sleeps Tonight,“ linger very long in the ear, sounding like the whiner-takes-all anthems so expected of an Elton John--Tim Rice collaboration. Overall, the show’s most powerful sounds are its African chorus and chants, created by Lebo M. These are the rhythms that most suit Taymor‘s visual fantasia, and which, had they been allowed to wash over the entire show, may have transformed it from spectacle into the realm of hypnotic dream play.
