魔戒現身
Some of the lyrics are directly inspired by Tolkien's novels, poems and related work. "The Road Goes On" is loosely based on Bilbo's walking song spoken by Bilbo and Frodo in "The Hobbit" and "The Fellowship of the Ring" respectively. "The Cat and the Moon" takes some of its lyrics from Frodo's drinking song "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late" in "The Fellowship of the Ring". "The Song of Hope" includes Elvish lyrics, which are a reworking of Galadriel's lament (in "The Fellowship of the Ring"), though the song is sung by Arwen in the musical. "Lament for Moria" takes lyrics from Gimli's lament in "The Fellowship of the Ring".
