	Aida: the campy musical
		Incidentally, Aida: the musical was composed by Tim Rice, and the lyrics were written by Elton John -- the same team that composed the score to The Ling King.
		The plot of the musical is quite simple, though I'm not sure how true it is to the opera, as I've never seen it.
		Radames and Aida are sentanced to death for treason, but as an act of mercy (if you can call it that) Amneris arranges for them to be buried alive together.

	Aida: The Making Of The Broadway Musical - Books
		This book is filled with so many large and vivid pictures from the musicals and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has been unable to watch the musical like me. This book can never be a substitute for the stage musical but it sure is a good guide to the show.
		Aida was first made famous by Giuseppe Verdi's 1871 opera and it revolves around a doomed love triangle where an enslaved African princess Aida falls in love with her Egyptian captor, Radames, who is engaged to the royal princess Amneris.
		More interestingly was Heather Headley's admission that she was very disappointed that her character Aida was not going to sing one of the best songs in the musical, "Elaborate Lives".

	DelcoTimes - Theatre: 'Aida' plays well, no thanks to writers
		Producing the 2000 musical "Aida" is a challenge because it may be the creation of several skillful artists, but in its language, music, and general expression, it remains shallow, so matter-of-fact and tissue-thin, a director has to get past its numbing banality to get to the one asset "Aida" has, its story.
		The meeting at which Aida and Radames at last acknowledge and express their love is followed by a scene in which Aida's fellow captives are informed their princess is among them.
		You can see Jones' Aida trying to decide the right course, trying to put aside her strong emotions to be the daughter, princess, and Nubians will admire and respect.

	The Santa Barbara Independent :: arts & entertainment :: Review: Aida at the Arlington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The tale revolves around Nubian princess Aida, who is captured by Egyptian troops and falls under the control of Radames, captain of the Egyptian army.
		Aida and Radames, now under the same roof, fall in love, and in the end Aida sacrifices herself to be with Radames, while somehow also managing to “free” Nubia from oppressive Egyptian rule.
		Marja Harmon sung beautifully and did her best with the character of Aida, who was written more as a stereotypical heroine than anyone actually worth looking up to.

	KDHX Theatre Review - Aida (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The triangle and its three-dimensional extension the pyramid are recurring images in the Elton John and Tim Rice musical Aida, now on view at the Fox.
		As in the 1871 Verdi opera on which it’s loosely based, Aida is the story of the Egyptian captain Radames who, although pledged to marry the Egyptian princess Amneris, falls in love with the captured Nubian princess Aida, with tragic results.
		Even the tragic ending, with Aida and Radames condemned to death by being sealed in a tomb, is given a happy wrapper by way of some mumbo-jumbo about reincarnation.

	NEW YORK ONSTAGE / `Aida' Gets Disneyfied on Broadway / Elton John musical a somber, plodding affair
		The Disney nameplate per se isn't stamped on ``Aida,'' a pop retelling of the 1871 Verdi love- triangle opera set in ancient Egypt, as it is on the stage versions of ``The Lion King'' and ``Beauty and the Beast.'' This show is the first venture of Hyperion Theatricals, the company's new adult theater division.
		Seizing a sword and threatening to kill one of her Egyptian captors unless her fellow Nubians are released, this Aida has a fiery temperament balanced by a regal calling.
		Aida, meanwhile, has become the leader of the Nubian liberation movement, climaxed in an exciting if baldly calculated gospel number that closes the first act.
