[WWELURVA101]

[TheUncledonnell]

I hope they come back to Kansas City if not I am going to Denver or New Orleans to see it again

[008liongirl]

This video only shows part of the amzing talent that the lionking on broadway posseses in its cast. U NEED 2 C THIS IN THEATRE IF U HAVNT ALREADY!!! this video is very amazing, but NOTHING will compare to the real lionking.u have only seen this once uve cn it on broadway!

[youtuefuncity58]

[youtuefuncity58]

when i first saw this i almost had a heart attack. this song gave me such chills.

[zinazina11]

[Guilansouke]

My favority film the lion king is film beutiful

[riaiscool]

its funny, that each country sounds diffrent :)

[snowflake19901975]

I seen the broadway in New York and I really loved it would like to see it again 

[TheQuiggc]

I wish the cheetah at 1:24-1:32 would scratch with his hind paw after licking his paw and before stretching.

[Scia191]

grotten schlecht... also ich hab mit diesem viedeo 3:57 meines lebeds verschwendet -.-

[forcarwe]

@Scia191 ... und ich habe durch das Lesen deines hirnlosen Kommentars satte 3 Sekunden meines Lebens verschwendet!

Das Video gefällt mir! *THUMBS UP*

[churchboi4christ]

OMG LION KING BROADWAY NEW YORK WAS SOOO AWESOME. I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. IM A BLACK YOUNG MALE AND LOVE MY AFRICAN HERITAGE AND LION KING ACTUALLY BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO IT!! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT TRUST ME IT WORTH EVERY DIME =)

[1992crazykid]

I have been waiting literally my whole life to see this play.Hopefully I see it this year

[josied1996]

i wish i was there

[jesusFreak0321]

Which Rafiki is this?

[MrKvarghese]

@jesusFreak0321 Tsidii La Loka :)

[jesusFreak0321]

@MrKvarghese Thank you!

[halloween1985]

Sofunny2u3. I assume you do not appreciate a true African sound, then. Her voice is Africa and is simply astonishing to hear in person.

[sofunny2u3]

Rafiki's voice sucks

[trakstar012001]

ill be seeing this on saturday!

[iwantyoufortea]

im seeing them in london soon ;D

[RedheadDane]

WHY was I only 10 (and didn't speak English) when this was originally running?

[3justinbieber3]

I laugh and cry in my heart every time i hear this song it's so powerful

[howardkevinm]

Here is the English translation for the chant:

Here comes a lion, Father

Oh yes, it's a lion

We're going to conquer

A lion and a leopard come to this open place

[traveller4life123]

the begining of the soun is a mans son warning him a lion is approaching

[wondaful9]

I nearly cry everytime i see this. Especially at the begining

[aipomms]

i always thought that raffiki was a babbon not a scarecrow

[tehmexicanbassman]

That cheetah guy definately had his powerthirst, I mean talk about hump-catting.

[gyaraxxx]

最高です

[Hughfan05]

omg ! I live in Belgium they come to Paris but not at Brussels, I don't have the money to go to french capital to see them :'(

[LucaSerr10]

i wish they would come to toronto :(

[raymondlee3327]

They were in toronto until January 4 2004

[raymondlee3327]

I wish that they come back!!!!

[StoneColdHunk]

@LucaSerr10 Im lucky as heck there comming to my town in the next week or two and I cant wait to go see this

[123BeautyQueen321]

[JayperryP]

[Existantia]

My hedgehog was sitting on my lap and woke up. I guess she thought for a moment she was back in Africa LOL.

[aintplayinAround]

lol! hilarious visual

[Existantia]

I'm surprised she didn't break out into song or dance. I'll leave a mini top hat by her cage should such an opportunity arise.

[TheDragoon]

some people just FAIL TOO hard at life.

[LuigiNegativeZone]

Lol! Can you blame her?

What a wake up, bless X3

[Existantia]

Hahahaha nope!

[DPIPHOTOGRAPHY]

Rosie is the one that got me addicted to the Broadway Version of the Lion King!!!

[Hilaryno1]

I saw this in New York in Febuary it was amazing!!!!!

[NBDickinson]

halloween, the parents and I just saw it week before Father's Day. It just left Sacramento and not sure where they are heading from there.

[damia008]

I Just seen it in sac .. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I think they are going to vegas

[halloween1985]

I wonder how much time The Lion King has left on Broadway. I hope, at least, a few more years. It is the best show I have ever viewed :)

[juan261094]

Does someone have a full performance from the earlier days of TLK with Tsidi performing?

[juan261094]

or just Tsidi performing Circle of Life?

[MissYvaine22]

this is amazing!

[Bertzilla92]

June 12, 2009: The day i fell in love with Broadway. Lion King 4Lif3!

[cullenandblack1546]

omg! this show is so awsum. i saw it yesterday. it was the best! i want to see it again!

[disneyriot21]

ahhh, I'm going to see this in new york on saturday! I'm so excited!! <3

[ChainGangChamp41]

it sounds great but a big part of the scene that was so great was the costumes and they only had a few here

[fruitsbasketgirl4eva]

I saw this on march 13,2009 in seattle!!! it was amazing

[ElsaAhmed]

This song is so incredibly beautiful! the broadway musical was absolutely incredible! mind blowing and out of this world! this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it, it's so powerful and reminds me of a very special family member who was a beautiful! person, and whom this song goes out.

[BroadwayStephen]

i saw this yesterday for the second time and i got chills within the first 30 seconds!!!!!!

[BradleyKeithThomas]

yep young nala is the baby elephant

[WoSindEureHande1]

ehmm.. I realy love the lion king.. but this version isn't my favourit...

LION KING ROCKS<333

[Rockandrollangel666]

I saw this on Thursday in Seattle, I had wonderful seats and OMG, Im still stunned.

<3

[appleseatusall]

same with me...Except I saw it today..

[crazyfountains]

i saw it yesterday =D love it! since i was a kid

[DisneyVidder]

I'm seeing it tomorrow for the first time in Seattle..SO excited :D Also, the first time I've been to a broadway show.

[scoobydoofan19]

Is that young Nala as the baby elephant??

[virginiarules510]

This song is great, but it's better experienced in a larger theater where the giraffes (which are ingenius costumes) can fit, lol.

[aznboy37347]

I LOVE THE LION KING.....<3

[molly71293]

this song gives me chills!!

it's soooooooooo beuatiful

[bamsgyrl]

Ive always wanted to see this live.

[orcinus74]

it's pure epic-ness.

[jammilon]

gott in englisch ist ja mal voll schlecht von der stimme und so !! deutsch ist 1000 mal besser

[Brucepires]

ANY GUYS UP?

great vid z6

[mickalyn]

I LOVE THIS BROADWAY PERIOD!!!! lol the actors are amazing, the costumes are amazing, and everybody has great voices for their parts, especially Rafiki and Nala...I love scars other song, not "Be Prepared"

[powerstar09]

You mean The Madness Of King Scar

[CookieJarReloaded]

it's funny to see the differences between the american and german version.

[juan261094]

I think that too. Both Rafikis are amazing (Tsidi and Velephi)! And I have all recordinghs!

[renthead118]

I cried when i saw this live as well.

absolutely incredible!

[serabi87]

I cried when I saw this scene on Broadway... it was just so beautiful!!!!

[blazingbuffalo]

wow the begining is so powerful

[80sgurl4eva]

MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!!

[ppg07863]

Ever since I saw the animated movie when I was like 10 or so when it came out in 1994 I fell in love with it. I also adore the African music :D oh man I'm seeing this in 2 weeks Nov. 15 :D I live 2hrs from NYC. I cant wait! I LOVE THE MOVIES! I LOVE BROADWAY

[GinSilverfang0021]

possiably the only musical I have ever liked. Imaginative, and based off of my favorite movie. This son absolutly gives me the shivers. It's just amazing how well it's sung.

[Shayiku10]

AWESOME SONG!-its really funny too(the beginning)

[livelaughlovee6]

such a good su=ong.

[Meiacoffeestain]

i get chills every time i hear this :)

[BRONXPEPE]

i get chills when i hear this song and they are intense its great

[duuuudenowayyy]

i lovelovelove this show. i would kill to be rafiki! :D

[Drew4ga09]

if only a dude could be a Rafiki too i have a good voice for this

[Dracosgal8]

i want to c this SO bad!!!

[halloween1985]

I saw it in Kansas City. It was a horrible venue. The Music Hall is a horrible horrible theatre, small stage and horrible acoustics. They didn't even have enough space to build the desired stage for the production (the plants could not rise from the floor and the back could not form a lift semi-circle) .. disappointing. The high-light was when the elephant fell walking up the stairs during the opening. It sat there for a few seconds while everyone else just went on with the performance.

[ashado19]

are you serious!! great we have tickets to go in November. Most everything here is small. Saw Celtic woman at the Sprint center and they didn't have much room to dance around.

[halloween1985]

We went opening night .. so, maybe they still hadn't worked the kinks out. The timing was still a bit off, with the sets being removed before another scene started. I had never been to the Music Hall before -- we are from Omaha -- and yeah .. it wasn't what I was expecting .. but, I am sure come November, they will be comfortable with the stage and all the space available :) Enjoy.

[starshinebright972]

Are you kidding? I happen to be from Kansas City. Born and raised. Still live there today. I'm thirteen. I just saw it about two weeks ago, October 7th. It was amazing. The Music Hall is almost as old as the city, i think. Also, have you ever been backstage? I think not. My dance school performes there every year for our dance recital. The backstage is large, and amazing. You have no idea what you are talking about. Go back to wherever you came from. If you don't like my city, WHY DID U COME?

[halloween1985]

Again, I went opening night. They were still working the kinks out of the production. The microphones were not all working, the set timing was off and the elephant fell (which can happen during any performance). Yes, I went backstage and met the cast and crew of the production .. very nice people. Just because I did not like the Music Hall does not mean I do not like Kansas City, idiot. I came because 'The Lion King' did such a great job in Omaha .. The Music Hall is drab and boring.

[Dracosgal8]

who peed in your cornflakes?!

[starshinebright972]

what? no one peed in my cornflakes

[omeca]

How do they do that?

[juan261094]

With a blaze of imagination.

[shsim09]

i watched this in new york... beautiful!

[isaiahangelo]

OMG IT IS LEBO M...I just now noticed that. They could never do a production of the Lion King without him because he embodies the spirit of that story and the spirit of the music period

[59771006]

Which one is Lebo M?

[juan261094]

I think he's the antillope at 0:38.

[59771006]

Thanks

[BelaFarl]

It IS beautiful. Although, nothing compares to seeing it on the live stage. Extraordinary!! Best ever.

[Dracosgal8]

beautiful

[Eurotour93]

00:16 - Lebom M !!! He rules!!!

[Eurotour93]

I mean LebO M

[ashado19]

got tickets to see this in November! omg, I cannot wait!!!!!!

[halloween1985]

Where are you seeing it? I am seeing it for the 3rd time this October in Kansas City. I saw it in Omaha and on Broadway .. such a great experience.

[juan261094]

WOW! You must be proud of yourself!

[halloween1985]

Not really .. I didn't pay for any of the trips .. so, pride would belong to my family. I'm a giving person :)

[Dracosgal8]

beautiful, i want to see it live

[jorday10]

i love tsidii le loka (original rafiki). she was the best.

[paknea]

umm... the german version sounds better

[XJ286]

the german version sounds pretty good, but doesn't equal the english cast at any point!

nevertheless the performance in hamburg is phantastic - hope i can see it again in some weeks if my budget allows another flight ;-)

[Dracosgal8]

beautiful, i want to see it live

[rutke467]

I am not a huge fan of broadway or shows but seeing this live was incredible...if you head to N.Y. take in a show, this one or any other

[littlehun2007]

You can get tickets because I come them and I am going to see it.

[monkeymonkey610]

I saw this live on Broadway. It was an Amazing show and i don't know if u can still get tickets to see it but if u can i REALLY reccomend going to see it

[Spideyfan117]

beautiful, i want to see it live

[halloween1985]

I am seeing it again in October .. in Kansas City this time .. private box in the center .. can't wait.

[MtlaXD]

oh my good.  i saw it live. FUCK, it was amazing.

[bmrcutiepie]

it must be hard to go from a large stage to a studio stage! one of my dreams is to see it live!

[bluemangroupdude27]

Im Going to see THE LION KING IN KANSAS CITY MO AT THE MUSIC HALL IN OCTOBER

[phantomsangel72590]

i saw this on broadway when i was 9 years old. i saw the matinee performance and i was seeing phantom of the opera that same night, which i couldnt stop thinking about cuz its been my fave musical since i was 5. but looking back at this, now almost 18 years old, i have chills. i hope to attend NYU for college and i want to have my graduation present next summer be a trip to new york to see my fave shows: phantom, wicked and now, lion king.

so amazing

[skanepagenfl]

You'll never regret seeing this. It's an incredible experience - especially the beginning. The dances, the music, the rhytm - the incredible costumes. Saw it twice in a week - and I would have seen it again if it hadn't left Tampa. GO!

[CanadianWarMachine]

The Costumes Are Amazing

I have no seen the broadway show, but if I ever go somewhere where it is playing, or if it comes to my town, I am so going

[neevad711]

be prepared to have to buy your tickets way ahead of time. It is SO amazing. We had floor seats but I think we bought them like a year in advance almost.

[TaraLynnSharrock]

WAaaa, chills ALL over my bodeh! Absolutely AWEsome.

[texasballa1]

cool i saw this brodway in texas it was amazing

[59771006]

Fucking fantastic!

[Srjl95]

wow! wen i saw this on broadway, i had goosebumps like the entire show! i love the lion king!

[mrchrsnteoxon]

Wow! I never made a second thought to put a comment on this marvelous performance! This is brilliant! A job well done. Oh, I was so amazed. More powers to all of you. :D

Cheers!

[BradleyKeithThomas]

the rams have sticks to represent their front legs and the mask on their heads to represent their faces so when the bend down it looks like they are rams.

[clownrus]

Yet with their mouths open...they look like crocodiles XD

[lapoeta2nv]

the costumes are genius! how lovely i hope i can see this live soon.

[peace7sign7srule]

this was added on me birthday and this is like my fav song EVER!!!so thats like awesome

this is such a good video. :]

[pianomanR369]

I love this song. specially the way they do it. :-D

[RiseAgainst35]

Who are the guys with sticks and a weird horned animal hat thing?

[clownrus]

They're most likely the animals on their heads, like everyone else in the show.

[nightshade1301]

This is not the same LIon King show that I saw. They sound tired. The Lion King show that I saw was sooooo breathtaking!!!

[JM10112]

you didn't see the broadway version, because this is the broadway cast, there just on the rosie show

[grenouil1970]

:O)

[xwhateverx14]

this is really funny.sounds scary not talented

[theatrelover559]

didn't Jason Raize play Mufasa? or does he play older Simba?

[shippolynn]

he played the older simba. and did a great job of it too. im sad that he isnt around anymore =( oh well, my he rest in peace

[bigphatlosa]

they are like real enthusiastic and professional in this scene..i mean if this was a preview hell yeah id watch the broadway...which i did lmao

[blownaFUSE]

absolutely brilliant. I saw this in London. I was amazed. A must-see. Any age.

[jessicaaROBERTS]

omg i fekin loved this show i went to see 5 musicals wen i was in new york in january and i think this and mary poppins were my faviroute although the otheres were spectacular but this was just immense xxx

[weeziewoo]

oooohhh i bloomin love it. gives me shivers up me spine.

[LMJ314142]

Ah, I wish that opening was five times as long.

[foreverbyhiside]

this was one of the most amazing broadways ive seen, made me want to cry and gave me goosebumps the entire time, it was incredible

[RoughridersFan08]

Me too Me too!

The entire show is breathtaking!

[pnaychic36]

this song everytime i listen to it makes me cry!! aaahhhh sooo freaking awesome!!! beautiful!

[wowie8426]

yoru just saying that because you do not no anything about broadway and you proably dont no how to sing and broadway beast your face

[JM10112]

this isn't the broadway show, and there usually better, this is a great musical, it won 8 tony awards

[dramagirl61591]

This is the broadway cast, though.

[thechickster1]

you are wierd

[dramagirl61591]

It's probably a off-day. They sing this like 8-10 times a week. Everyone's allowed an off-day, right? And personally, it is music. It's influenced by a vastly different culture than yours, most likely. This is also not the best version I've heard. See it live instead of a low quality Youtube video and THEN judge.

[theatrelover559]

Did Jason Raize play Mufasa and older Simba at the same time?

[Karen81263]

No, Jason only played the older Simba. He originated the role and kept the part for almost 3 years. He really threw himself into the role and many people consider him the best Simba.

[juan261094]

Is that Tshidii Manye or Tsidii LeLoka?

[JM10112]

Tsidii leloka

[bluefroggie2290]

sorry...gosh my mistake...who really cares i think you got what i ment either way..

[bluefroggie2290]

god i would hate to go from an enormaous stage to an extreamly small studio stage...it would be so differnt and limited movability
