Ah.
Oh, God, don't make that noise.

You love musicals.

One of the games I started
doing with Leesa and the kids.

00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Is like we pretend we...
Turning down work and being there.

Anyway... I like sometimes, um,
it's a bit embarrassing to admit.

Sometimes you pretend
you're in a musical.

Oh, my God. But how?
Um...
41

I didn't bring up full package,
you did.
56
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,840
- So what is in a full package?
- I just want to... I wanna be more bookable.
57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,680
Know what I mean? I think

00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,840
I could be a leading man in
- Hollywood.Sure.You reckon? - Yeah.

I also think you could be the most
famous black woman in the world.
60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880
If we were gonna stand a chance
of getting into a musical
61
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,600
and fulfil Rob's dream of becoming
the full package,
62
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,800
whatever that meant,
63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,800
we needed to do our research,
so we headed
64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,440
to the heart of theatre land
to meet a West End superstar.

Awesome, lovely to meet you.
70
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,840
So we could find out what it takes
to make it in musical theatre.
71
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,640
We're trying to see what it's like
- to be in the West End. - Yeah.
72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080
To perform. What are the
key attributes you've gotta have
73
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,720
to be a good West End performer?
74
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,840
Bearing in mind our starting
point is a low level of skill.
75
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,680
I think...
Like low.
76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,480
The basics
is you've gotta look after yourself
77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440
cos musical theatre performers
are athletes.
78
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Like eight shows a week.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,880
You can't do the athlete stuff.
You have to get into...
80
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,920
Thought this was a nonsport one.
This is one of the shows
81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,760
that I thought, it doesn't matter.
82
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,440
It's not sport. Now you
- say they're athletes. - They are.
83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,880
How many performances
are you doing a week?
84
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,000
Eight. Eight shows a week.
That's more than there's days.
85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,400
That's quick maths.
(LAUGHS)
86
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Yeah, I mean, forget that
question but, yeah, so eight a week.
87
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:41,360
Keep this, keep this moving.
(LAUGHS)
88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,240
- Eight a week.
- That's more than - seven.
89
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:47,840
- Seven days.
- So on three days we do two shows.
90
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Now is it true you need to be
a triple threat,
91
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,480
singing, dancing and acting?
No.
92
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Or can you...
- No. - No.
93
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:56,520
- No.
- There are some roles - that require a triple threat.
94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,200
Like Chicago or something like that
but then there are loads of roles
95
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040
that you definitely don't
have to be a dancer for.
96
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Not only had Samantha given us hope
97
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,160
but she was gonna extend her
hospitality one step further
98
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,680
and give us a singing lesson.
99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,560
We can run through some
exercises. Things that help me.
100
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,840
It's about getting
your voice warm and ready.
101
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,920
And it will really help you
when you get onto a stage.
102
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,160
Oh, my God, this is exciting.
Yeah.
103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,040
I'm gonna sing like Elsa.
104
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Or not. (LAUGHS)
105
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,400
OK, so we've got Adam here, who's
gonna help us with vocal warm-ups.

00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,640
I came with my wife when our
marriage still had some magic in it.
322
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,840
Oh, OK.He will do this.
Before we had kids.
323
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,320
So I hear you want to audition?
Well, yeah, we'd love to be in it.
324
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,760
The idea is us to be
in a West End show, so...
325
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,760
- Is it?
- Hopefully we've got the skills to pay the bills.
326
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,760
We'll take a look. Here's my idea.
See if it works for you.
327
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,800
We'll take you through a few paces
of different roles
328
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,160
and we'll see what fits you best.
- That make sense? - Yeah, sure.
329
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,880
- Brilliant.
- But first I would like to take you up to a fantastic view.
330
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,600
I'd love for you to go up Pride Rock
and take a look at the pridelands.
331
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,240
Can I go up?
Please go.
332
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,960
Are you being... Can I lift him up
and... I wouldn't do that.
333
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,560
It doesn't get
much bigger than this.
334
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,400
Lion King, West End,
been running for over 20 years.
335
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,840
Look at this,
oh, it's quite high, isn't it?
336
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,560
If we're gonna break through
as West End stars, this is it.
337
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,880
We're going in, we're going in hard.
338
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,920
(BOTH CALL OUT)
339
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,520
(SINGS)
340
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,480
- Good, innit?Yeah.
- I know what role you're not gonna do now,
341
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,280
so why don't you come down and
- we'll audition you. - No problem.
342
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,240
Right. Ro... Ro... Romesh.
Calm down.
343
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,920
OK, this is...
alright, OK, you win.
344
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,200
With a cast of over 50 performers,
Michael had a lot to choose from.
345
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,800
And he was starting us off with two
of the biggest roles.
346
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,880
So the first thing we're gonna
look at are a few acting roles.
347
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,600
Of course you recall Timon and
- Pumbaa from the show. - Sure.
348
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,920
Classic double act.
349
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:02,960
I'd love to introduce to you
Timon and Pumbaa.
350
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Oh, yes.
Here we go, this is Jamie and Mark.
351
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,520
These guys are in rehearsal gear,
352
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,960
so they might be able
to show how it works.
353
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,440
Alright, well, uh, the back of
- the head is used by my hand. - Yeah.
354
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,000
And then I've got a trigger here
to use this hand
355
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,480
so you can just move him around.
356
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,040
He's waiting. Waiting for a bus.
It's so good.
357
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:30,240
Big, big nose action
with Pumbaa. And using the legs.
358
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,120
Oh, right.(LAUGHTER)
Oh, yeah. I like that.
359
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,280
The tongue comes out as well.
360
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,880
- There it is.
- Oh, yeah. There's his tongue.
361
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,440
How could I forget the tongue.
Careful with that, would you?
362
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,440
So how are you gents
with American accents?
363
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,800
Great. Perfect.
- Really? - We're gonna see.
364
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,120
They're like New Yorkers.
365
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,880
Yeah, we got it, we got it.
We'll give you those scripts.
366
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,920
Who's Timon and who's Pumbaa?
Huh.
367
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,920
Based on the eyes
I'd say I could be a Timon.
368
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,600
And then based on the size... I
could be a Pumbaa.
369
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,720
Great, thanks, guys. Why don't you
puppet down, get out of those?
370
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,280
Oh, is that what it's called?
Puppet down.
371
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,200
After our pride rock fail, we needed
to pull off something special
372
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,440
if we were gonna stand a
chance with Timon and Pumbaa.
373
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,400
- You be Timon, I'll be Pumbaa.
- I'll be Timon, OK.I'm bigger than you.
374
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Timon, you'd better come look,
I think it's still alive.
375
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,400
Alrighty, what have we gotta here?
376
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,960
Jeez, it's a lion. Run, Pumbaa,
- move it. - What the fuck was that?
377
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,880
You've got a little New Jersey and
you went into Texas a little bit.
378
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,680
He basically veered from New York
to the Deep South, so...
379
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,320
(NEW YORK) It means no worries
(SOUTHERN) for the rest of your days.
380
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:44,240
Like that. I mean, what I
was doing there was,
381
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,000
was no more exaggerated than how Rob
was actually playing it for real.
382
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,400
Hey, Timon, you'd better come look.
I think it's still alive.
383
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,440
Alrighty, what-a we gotta here?
384
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,480
Pumbaa, are you nuts?
You're talking about a lion.
385
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,640
Are you doing this in... Sorry.
386
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,920
Is that serious, what you're doing?
Yes.
387
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,320
If he was playing Timon
388
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,000
as having multiple personality
disorder, he smashed it.
389
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,760
How about if we move on?
390
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,720
You'll play Timon.
- You'll play Pumbaa. - Sure.
391
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,480
And I will read in for young Simba.
OK. OK, here we go. Timon.
392
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,440
You OK, kid?
I guess so.
393
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,600
Hey, where're you going?
Nowhere.
394
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,200
Gee, he looks blue.
Let's say brownish gold.
395
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,240
No, no, I mean he's depressed.
Oh.
396
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,800
Kid, what's eating you?
397
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,200
I thought I was good as Pumbaa.
398
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Rob was dreadful as Timon.
399
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Bad things happen, you can't
do anything about it, right?
400
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080
- Right.
- Wrong.
401
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,960
If I took my kids to watch
The Lion King
402
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,680
and Rob was playing Timon,
my kids would cry.
403
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,840
Rob's accent performance
was an abomination.
404
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,840
And it was a miracle we were still
in the theatre, let alone on stage.
405
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,000
Thankfully,
Michael was a patient man.
406
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,200
What I think we should do now is
- some singing. - Sure.
407
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,640
So you know the song Hakuna Matata.
Do we? Come on.
408
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,320
Right, so I thought it'd be fun
409
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:05,920
to have Kayi Ushe come out
who's playing adult Simba.
410
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,600
Oh, yes.
411
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,640
Hi. Rob and Romesh.
412
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,760
We're gonna try bits from Hakuna.
413
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,400
Then we'll go into the end of
the song when you sing.
414
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,440
- What do you think?
- Perfect.
415
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,240
Great. So do you wanna give Romesh
his intro?
416
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,400
Yeah, he's gotta do
the classic young warthog line.
417
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,800
He has to.
This is your big moment.
418
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,040
I've got it.
This is what people want.
419
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:31,360
- Let's do it.
- Take Pumbaa here. Why, when he was a young warthog.
420
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,560
♪ When I was a young
421
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,640
♪ Warthog

00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,160
- Thanks.
- That was very good. That felt good.
423
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,400
I think that was pretty good.
I must say.
424
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,800
If I don't get Pumbaa, it's, I would
say, 95% Rob Beckett's fault.
425
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,040

429
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,520
What I'm hoping is Michael
430
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,000
sees some kind of like
rough diamond kind of quality
431
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,080
to what we were doing
and thinks, know what,
432
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,800
they're not the finished article
433
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,480
but there's something
about these boys.
434
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,120
Off the stage. There we go.
435
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,640
And when I say boys,
I mean me, Rob's shit.
436
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,960
What a guy.
I love this guy.
437
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
♪ Hakuna matata, hakuna... ♪
438
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,040

439
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,000
Right, when's curtain up?
440
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,280
Smashed it.
Let's get on this show.
441
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,000
We're attempting to land a role
in a blockbuster musical.
442
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,360
And after getting our foot
in the door with The Lion King...
443
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,440
Welcome to the Lyceum...
Oh, thank you.
444
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,280
..it felt like
we were getting closer.
445
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,120
But then Rob
stuffed our first big audition.
446
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,160
Can't anything about it, right?
447
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Right.
Wrong.
448
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Incredibly, show director
Michael O'Donnell
449
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,120
was willing to give us another shot.
450
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,360
So we were heading to
the rehearsal studio
451
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,680
to try out as dancing lionesses.
452
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,800
Nice, ladies.
Thank you. Brilliant.
453
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,640
Rob and Romesh, this is Chico
and Stephanie.
454
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,840
- They're both dance captains.
- Lovely - to meet you.
455
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,520
They'll take you through learning
some of the choreography.
456
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,160
Up to it?
If you want an honest answer,
457
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,600
we're up for it.
Up to it is a different thing.
458
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,400
What do you need to be good at this?
- Well, you need to be fit first. - OK.
459
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,160
You need to do exercise every day.
460
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,600
You need to drink water.
You need to sleep well.
461
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,400
How about regularly eating snacks
off your own naked torso? That...
462
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,400
OK.Picking Pringles
- out of your own navel? - Yeah.
463
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,720
You're warmed up then.
We're ready to go.
464
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,160
Oh, you warmed up, OK?
So let's start.
465
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,640
- Shall we do it?
- OK. Good luck.
466
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,400
So we're just go straight in.
Straight away in.
467
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,520
Are we really...
- Yes. - OK.
468
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,880
- What?
- Come on, step forward. Which way do we stand?
469
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,840
As far as dance instructors go,
470
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,920
Chico didn't come across as the kind
that likes to hang about.
471
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,000
Wow. Ooh.
So put your hip forward, yes.
472
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,080
That's gonna be your first position.
473
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:25,960
Yeah, second position gonna be
this position, so you go... ha!
474
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,880
- To the outside.
- Sorry, I feel this is all happening so quick.
475
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,120
I feel like
- I've been sold a timeshare. - No.
476
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Chico has this method
where he shows you a move.
477
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,600
He's so used to, people pick it up
and then you move on.
478
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,480
He just kept showing us a move
and then we would do something
479
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,960
that looked nothing like the move
and he'd go, right, next one.
480
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,640
You'd go, hold on a minute, mate.
You need to be like... ha!
481
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,440
- Oh, right.
- And... - Ha.
482
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,480
Ha.
OK. Fifth position.
483
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,360
It was absolutely bananas.
484
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,920
And then you're going down
here and one more. Oh, God.
485
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,920
It felt like
I'd just dropped some acid.
486
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,960
(HISSES)
Oh.
487
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,400
He goes, "That's the dance done."
I thought, what just happened?
488
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,080
There was a lot to learn and so far
we'd mastered none of it.
489
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:09,920
You first. Go.
490
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,400
Oh, my God. You.
491
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,240
What, what do you mean,
"Oh, my God?"
492
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:19,120
See, that's better. Cos
you're like... You need to attack.
493
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,000
But my lioness
is not sure about the hunt.
494
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,400
No, do it again. I help you.
495
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,800
This sister needs her
confidence picking up.
496
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Go from here.
And step step step. Up.
497
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,480
- Yes.
- That's better.
498
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,160
Go on.
Good.
499
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,040
(HISSES)
Right. Oh, my God. (LAUGHS)
500
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,560
- Too much.
- I think we might wanna go on to something else.
501
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,280
What do you think?
We've mastered this.
502
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,960
This was an option.
This was a great try.
503
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,360
Can I ask you an honest question.
Do you see any potential in us?
504
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,760
Oh. (LAUGHS)
505
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,600
To be honest, that laugh sounded
like a nail in the coffin
506
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,440
for our lioness roles.
507
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,320
And when we saw what Michael
had planned
508
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,400
for our third and final audition,
509
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,640
it felt like the lights had gone out
on our West End debut.
510
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,560
This is Gabi. He's one
of our giraffe in the show.
511
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,400
Do you know what,
that reassures me,
512
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,600
cos we've got quite similar
- physiques. - Yeah. Now I've seen you.
513
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,640
I can't imagine I'll
have any problems.
514
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,040
- Does it look easy?
- No.
515
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,360
I have never encountered a situation
where the logic is,
516
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,320
you're shit on the ground,
let's get you in the air.
517
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:24,800
So who wants to go first?
518
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,320
I'll go first.
I don't mind going first.
519
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:28,920
It's the opposite of scaffolding
someone's learning.
520
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,320
You're supposed to see
if they can do the easy bit,
521
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:32,600
then move on to the difficult bit.
522
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,360
What's happened today is, you're
really crap at that easier thing,
523
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,120
so we're gonna give you
a harder thing to do.
524
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,240
OK. So how do I stand?
Just slowly. Yeah. Yes.
525
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,480
Whoa. OK. Just hold that.
Ah.
526
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,560
Don't die yet, I ain't paid
my mortgage. I need this show.
527
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,080
Go on, go on, you can do it.
528
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,720
It's the circle of life.
529
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,240
I need the step ladder. Oh.
530
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,640
It just feels like we're searching
through the world of wildlife
531
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,360
to find an animal that we're
actually gonna be OK at portraying.
532
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,800
We're sort of moving down the food
chain till eventually we're gonna,
533
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,400
I dunno, Rob and I are gonna be
playing caterpillars or something.
534
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,600
There we go.
Sit down.
535
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,840
(CHEERING)
You've done it!
536
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,720
Did I get the part?
Uh, let's see how Rob goes.
537
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,320
Yes, Beckett.
538
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,960
Oh, God.
539
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,080
Yes.
There we go.
540
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:29,960
I'm happy to be the giraffe
in the production.
541
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,440
However, it's supposed to be
the opening bit.
542
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,680
You see the big sun.
We're in Africa.
543
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,680
Why are there four blokes trying
to keep that giraffe up?
544
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,200
Ladder, is that behind me?
- Yeah. - Yeah. Oh.
545
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,080
There we go. Yes!(CHEERING)
- Thanks, guys. So hard. - Really good.
546
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:49,280
I think obviously he got several
steps with the giraffe,
547
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,280
which I think, you know,
uh, no offence, Romesh,
548
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,360
but that was a great first go.
549
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,080
I'm really pleased for him.
550
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:58,640
Let's meet on stage and we'll
give you our decision.
551
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,240
How about that?
552
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,480
It was fair to say our day with
The Lion King hadn't gone well.
553
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,040
And more importantly, our mission
to get into a West End show
554
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,320
looked to be in trouble.
555
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:14,880
So with our auditions done, we were
heading back to the stage,
556
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,000
where we were
fully expecting Michael
557
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,080
to slam the door
on our West End dream.
558
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:21,840
Rob, Romesh, thank you so much
for all your work.
559
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,200
You've worked really, really hard.
It's been such a joy to see
560
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,880
your acting, your dancing,
your puppet work.
561
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,280
I think we've found the right role
for you for the show.
562
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,920
We're gonna be in the show?
You will be in the production.
563
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,000
You've made it. Would you like to
know what you're going to play?
564
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Yes, please.
565
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:45,280
You're going to play the wildebeest
in The Circle Of Life.
566
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,840
- What do you think?
- Wow, it's a bit leftfield. We've not even...
567
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,760
We haven't even
auditioned for that so.
568
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,560
No, so, that's great, I think, yeah.
569
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,160
It's in the iconic number
of the show.
570
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,760
Are we allowed on the stage?
You will be on the stage.
571
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,960
We're on the stage. Shall we sing?
Yes, you will be singing.
572
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Dancing?
A little bit of dancing, yeah.
573
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,000
Commensurate with your talent.
- Gonna be in a West End show. - Yes.
574
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,560
I'll see you guys bright and early
tomorrow.
575
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,120
See you tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
576
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,400
Get off, get some sleep tonight.
OK, cheers.
577
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,640
Exciting, innit?
Yeah, very exciting.
578
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,440
So we'd landed a role
we hadn't even seen yet.
579
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,280
And tomorrow we'd be finding out
exactly what that entailed.
580
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,280
But for now we could say Rom and I
were actually going to perform
581
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,440
in one of the West End's
biggest musicals.
582
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,480
Rom and I have landed roles in West
End sensation The Lion King.
583
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,360
You're going to play the wildebeest
in The Circle Of Life.
584
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,160
Since its debut in 1997,
585
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,000
it's dazzled over
100 million people worldwide.
586
00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:00,320
And now we were privileged enough
to be a tiny part of that magic.
587
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,760
We'd arrived at the theatre early to
prepare for our roles as wildebeest.
588
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,040
And there was a surprise waiting
for us in the entrance hall.
589
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,120
Big moment, look.
There we are, oh, ensemble.
590
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,800
Oh, yeah, look at that.
It is amazing to be in the show
591
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,880
but I felt my Pumbaa
was quite good.
592
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,320
And if I'm being honest with you, I
felt your Timon was sort of insane.
593
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,080
It took away
from my Pumbaa a bit.
594
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,400
Oh, you're a little proud Pumbaa,
- are you? - Not a little proud Pumbaa.
595
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,120
Alright, how about this,
- we get up there. - Yeah.
596
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,720
- We're wildebeest.
- Yeah.
597
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,440
You rip your head off and scream
"When I was a young warthog..."
598
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,200
- Proud of your Pumbaa.
- Always fancied burning my bridges with Disney.
599
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,480
I think today might be
- the day I do it. - Right.
600
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,400
- Alright, let's do it.
- Let's find out - what wildebeest do.
601
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,960
Rob's enthusiasm was about
to take a nose dive
602
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,240
when he found out
what we were doing first.
603
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,080
Hi, so what we're gonna do
now, we're gonna teach you
604
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,840
some singing and it's your lucky day
605
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,160
cos your singing's gonna be
in South African today.
606
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,600
Musical director Simone Manfredini
607
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,880
and principal singer
Thenjiwe Nofemele
608
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,360
were going to guide us through
609
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,160
the iconic opening number
The Circle Of Life.
610
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,400
I want you to repeat after me,
very simple. "Ingonyama".
611
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,800
Ingonyama.
Ingonyama.
612
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,120
Nengw' enamabala.
613
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,640
God.
- Nengw' enamabala. - See.
614
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,600
Feels like it's
the last thing I say on telly.
615
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,760
Nengw' enamabala.
Nengw' enamabala.
616
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,160
- There you go.
- Nengw' enamabala. Nengw' enamabala.
617
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,760
So ingonyama.
- Ingonyama. - Ingonyama.
618
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,360
Nengw' enamabala.
619
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Nengw'.
- Enamabala. - Enamabala.
620
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,680
Shall we play it from the third...
The third chord.

ingonyama nengw' enamabala...

We jump in.
- You jump in. - You jump in. Yes.
623
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,280

and I stopped singing.

00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,600
But you are ready to go.
641
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,480
Thank you, there you go.
Love it.
642
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,960
Pep talk. You've gotta learn to lie
- like this guy.Boss man. - Yeah.
643
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,400
I'll see you later.
Thank you.
644
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Thank you, well done.
Lovely to meet you.
645
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,120
It was finally time to try on
our costumes
646
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,000
and it's fair to say we looked more
ridiculous than we'd expected.
647
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,000
Oh, it's horrible. It's like
watching you being born.
648
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,600
I'm a pretty girl.
649
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,320
Now we were looking like wildebeest,
sort of,
650
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,080
dance instructor Chico had to get us
moving like one.
651
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,000
You're gonna be the first one,
you're gonna be the second, yeah.
652
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,400
OK.I'm first.
653
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,840
So rock side by side.
654
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,640
Yes, and then you can shake
the head up and down.
655
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,120
And you go to the side. Other side.
656
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,200
What do we need to do
- with our faces? - Yes.
657
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,360
- Yeah?
- Of course you need to make like, you know, smiley face.
658
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,480
Yes.
OK.You good?
659
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,480
We'd got the basics but now Chico
wanted to walk us through our role.
660
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,840
Be careful,
you're gonna knock that...
661
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,400
I feel like we've been kidnapped.
I know, it's mad, innit.
662
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,640
We'd have to dance our way down
the aisle through the audience.
663
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,240
Little bit more. OK, stop there.
664
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,200
And onto the stage as part of
a procession of dancing animals.
665
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,920
And go. Uh-oh.
666
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,720
Don't go like too much this way,
so you get up on the steps.
667
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,800
Oh, it's up... And then you go wing
one, two, three, wing four.
668
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,360
Oh, that way, sorry. I thought I was
- coming through the front wing. - Yeah.
669
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,680
OK. Shall we go back down?
670
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:23,840
So at no point are we...
Are we only ever this way?
671
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,960
We only ever have our back
to the audience.
672
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,040
The truth is
they only ever see our arses
673
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,560
in this whole thing, don't they?
Yeah.
674
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,280
The part that we have in this
I've now discovered
675
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,240
is to leave the performance.
676
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,880
I'm starting to realise why
we've been cast as these.
677
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,360
That is what we do. Our part in The
Lion King is to exit The Lion King.
678
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,200
We've seen what we had to do but now
we had to put it into action.
679
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:48,080
Because Chico was calling
some cast for a run through.
680
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,600
- Ooh.
- Wildebeest coming through. Wildebeest coming through.
681
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,240
Wildebeest coming through, guys.
682
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,360
I haven't... I don't think
I've got the rhythm for this.
683
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,200
Are you...
I haven't got the rhythm for this.
684
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:01,360
No, you have. Rob.
- Yeah? - We have to get this right.

00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,000
Oh, God, it's so dark.
687
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,880
You got this, yeah?
Shut up. Go upstairs.
688
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,400
- Yeah.Fourth left.
- Fourth left.
689
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,960
Ooh.
690
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,600

No, no, no, no.
That's the third, that's the third.
697
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,280
Wait and then you stay here.
- Wrong one.Stop there. - Rob.
698
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,360
- Fucked it.Rob.
- Wing four. Rob, that was the third one.
699
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,920
I was looking at the wrong one.
It's the fourth.
700
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,440
I know. I got distracted
- by the cheetah. - It's so simple.
701
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,120
That's the point of rehearsals.
You learn what to do.
702
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,760
Have you got this?
Yes, I have got this. Stop it.
703
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,000
I'm just saying.
I'm double-checking.
704
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,400
We've got this, haven't we, Chico?
Yes, got it.
705
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,400
- Rob.What?
- Seriously, are you gonna - be alright with this?
706
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,160
Did you know you were going wrong?
707
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,240
All I did wrong was the left,
weren't it?
708
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,920
Yeah, I just went down the wrong one
but I'm learning.
709
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,240
It's alright for you,
you just follow me.
710
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,440
But you can't do that tonight.
711
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,120
What happens if you do that tonight?
You threw me.
712
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,360
I'm not trying to throw you. I'm
trying to say to you it's important.
713
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,880
He got angry with me for saying
to him, have you got this?
714
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,160
"Yeah, I've got it."
715
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,760
He kept turning around angrily
and then he takes the wrong left.
716
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,480
Four, that's all you've gotta do,
count to four.
717
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,960
How do you not do that?
Actual wildebeest could do that.
718
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,800
You have got it?
I have got it.
719
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,520
OK. It's just that...
I walk up there.
720
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Up the stairs on "life".
- Yeah.Fourth left. - Yeah.
721
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,360
Also, no-one out there knows I'm
supposed to be going fourth left.
722
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,640
Good point. But
the other animals think you are.
723
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,800
Oh, God. Well, they'll be
left out in...
724
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,120
You'll crash into a fucking giraffe.
That's the point I'm making.
725
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,440
True.
It's just heavy this, innit?
726
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Yeah, but that doesn't mean you turn
off early cos you're knackered.
727
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,640
I don't know what's gonna happen.
728
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,840
If he goes third,
I'm not following him.
729
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,320
I'm breaking from the pack
and I'm gonna go to the correct one
730
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,280
and then make sure everybody knows
he cannot count to four.
731
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,080
A few hours later,
the theatre was filling up.
732
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,880
Soon we'd be taking to the stage.
Yeah, we're ready.
733
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,560
Is that alright?
- We've got this. - Perfect.
734
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,800
Thumbs up?
Yeah.
735
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,520
Thumbs up from Rafiki.
736
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,600
It's Zazu. Sorry, mate.
737
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,280
I knew it wasn't Rafiki.
738
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,600

Doing this as an actual horse.
741
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,040

and the magic was about to begin.

00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,200

break the spell.

00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,600
What's your five things?
Singing, dancing, acting.
802
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,880
You can't sing, Rob, you can't sing.
803
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,880
Shut up. Comedy, stilt walking,
singing, dancing, acting.
804
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,080
Quintuplet threat.
805
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,760
I've had a great time.
Me too.
806
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,200
I love kicking back waiting
for the old wave at the end.
807
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:48,760
Yeah.
Well, it's not a wave, a bow.
808
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,480
One of the least well earned bows
in the history of showbusiness.
809
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,680
If it's there I'll take it.
Absolutely.
810
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:58,080
You'll ask for an encore knowing
you. You'll come back out.
811
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,120
"In case you didn't know
it's been me Rob Beckett.
812
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,080
I've been a wildebeest
the whole time. Hello."
813
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,960
Not ruling it out.
814
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
You only live once.
815
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,440
The performance
was coming to an end.
816
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,200
And naturally Rob led the way
817
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:21,720
for our borderline
fraudulent curtain call.
818
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,120
♪ The circle of...
819
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:30,880
♪ Life ♪
820
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,680
Oh, my God, it's so dark.
It's so dark.
821
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:40,480
We've done it, Rob. We did it, mate.
We did it, yeah.
822
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,480
Rob. We're West End stars, mate.
We're West End stars.
823
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:02,000
- We smashed it.Whoo.
- We smashed it. Yeah, these guys...
824
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,040
The hyenas! Whoo!
825
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,960
This is great. Oh, Pumbaa.
826
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,000
This feels...
827
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,840
Rob, you feel good?
Oh, loving it, mate.
828
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,120
Feel like
I'm at an animal wedding.
829
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,960
We did it Rob. We did it,
- we're West End stars. - Yes, yes.
830
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,800
We're West End stars.
Yes, come on.
831
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,200
Rom, watch your horns.
832
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:33,240
Whoo.
833
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,280
