The Lion King on Broadway - I Just Can't Wait to be King

[abbeylovecool]

Noone saying see here now see here :/

[frugalfruit]

"I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair, EWGHH" lmao!

[WarlandWriter]

8 people could wait to be king

[OklahomaBabyG]

The broadway show is amazing! I went and saw it a few years ago in Oklahoma and LOVED it!

[Kira1Lawliet]

Hard to believe the kid that played little Simba would one day grow up to play Andre Harris on Victorious.

[werewolves105]

@Kira1Lawliet Hes Andre?!

[Kira1Lawliet]

@werewolves105 Yep. I know, I was shocked too.

[LovelyLolaX]

@Kira1Lawliet WHAAAT? Well i don't know that... ><

[13Bee1]

@Kira1Lawliet That's like a huge step down. The best of Broadway to a shitty teen show on nickelodeon. Sad

[superSjcproductions1]

this reminds me of this spiel that was done at my school because it's orthodox jewish!

[GeraldineMusic2011]

does anyone have the karaoke for this song? i love it

[TheBigRedMario]

the music for this peice sounds awesome but zazu just doesnt have that humorous voice he does in the movie...

[emilyannmeyer24]

@TheBigRedMario You should see the actor's body language during the performance. Totally makes up for it. haha 

[mattmax11]

@TheBigRedMario yeah because in the movie zazu's voice is done Rowan Atkinson

[RainbowGymShoes]

"Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start" favourite line :D x

[anaklusmos16]

Did anyone else notice the long silences after all the videos? That's to take in the AWESOMENESS.

[ikecham]

Go Lions

[amathist1998]

I danced to that song when i was playing dance on broadway on the nintendo wii at my grandma's house

[doxysrox]

It sounds too.... Forced... Zazu isn't comical, wither :/

[PonineTeazerBlaze]

Gosh, this reminds me of Tamaki Suoh. I'm working on a musical for Ouran... can't get this song out of my head...

[ElvishNavi]

@PonineTeazerBlaze A MUSICAL for Ouran? Woah, cool! I do remember seeing a video of Tamaki with this song somewhere... >:)

[catherinemariechan]

@PonineTeazerBlaze Seriously? o.o

[rgrmario]

in my school in chiihuaha chihuhua mexico we are going to make the lion king show with this songs

[isabellalovescookies]

i saw it in hamburg. it's so awesome!

[rosecitti]

ha, this play I auditioned for the kids my age had to sing it. They said I was perfect for the part of young Simba cause the pitch was perfect but it turned out you had to pay to be in it -.- So I couldn't do it cause thats just stupid for a small town play!

[MsBroadwayMusic]

@rosecitti You have to pay for most plays. It goes towards caostumes, sets, and what not

[trucks1221]

who is playing zazu ?

[ShannonIsJammin]

I sang this for a choir exam two years ago. :D Got 100%, because it's the Lion King.

[rejectedmuppet77]

saw the play 3 times, each time was more amazing than before!

[ingrid98R]

they should have made nala say i just cant wait to be queen

[Cyberscribe100]

Is it me or does young nala just sound like a hick?

[DarknessIsTheTruth]

Why haven't I seen this show yet?

[isaaclego1]

 cool song!

[JamiegLee11]

love it love it love it, i think can sing so beautiful

[coolsarahkry1]

I"M SO SORRY BY ACCIDENT I PRESSED DISLIKE BUT I LOVE THIS SONG I LIKED IT AFTER I ACCIDENTALLY DISLIKED IT.

[dottiedots221]

Also, I LOVE the beginning (0:01-0:18). When you hear that, serious bussiness (Can't say the s word) is about to go down :D Same with the music and the ensemble parts. It sounds amazing! This version is 100x better than the movie!

And I'm seeing this in 2 weeks in NYC and I'm SOOOO EXCITED! :D I would love to play Zazu (it looks so much fun to play him), but I'm a girl and I can't sing or do a British accent =[

[footie1243]

i just cant wait to be king

[Kiyoryuu]

Scar , Shenzi , Banzai disliked this thrice. Ed was dumb and made two accounts to dislike it.

[Nagamasa5Azai]

there are 5 hyenas invading the pride lands!

[DRAGONIFORSSTONE]

I love this version, but the Nala's voice sounds horrible..

[rorolilred]

I love how they give Nala a bigger part in this version =D

[bookjunky2]

I love Zazu's and Nala's voices. ♥

[awesomelycool1234567]

Thumbs up if you play this on Wii "Dance on Broadway"!!!! :)

[mizzgoodie123]

I'm just so in love with The Lion King On Broadway ever since i saw it in the third grade. I really wanna get the soundtrack cd

[musicalsrawesome6]

Oh my gosh I'm just in love with Nala's voice:D

[sugarcat1997]

5 people must be friends with zazu

[LaDyV843]

@sugarcat1997 OH LOOK! zazu just made 2 more buddies smh

[dkix89]

This actress/singer with Nala's part isn't as good as the one now.... She has a wonderful voice but she drawls too much!

[kiveegokikim]

Yeaaaah, Oh I just can't wait to see the show

[mariana97R]

wat was the girl's name who played young nala who died

[ClawHeart4258]

@mariana97R Her name was Shannon Tavarez. I'm pretty sure that's who we hear in this recording.

[tyytan]

@ClawHeart4258 I don't think it would have been, I don't think she started until September 2009, this was uploaded a year before.

[siarasiarzewski]

@ClawHeart4258

This song was released in 1997 and the girl we hear is Kajuana Shuford. She was the part of the original broadway cast in 1997.

[PotterWeasley2010]

5 people can wait to be king

[GuitarGoddessAlex]

@PotterWeasley2010 No dude :/ just No

[Atsukiraz]

This song makes me happy :D

[Flanneryschickens]

Scar just couldn't wait to be king either....

[KingNice92]

This wasn't in the Cartoon! :Zazu

[Bonnify]

@KingNice92

yes it was but just the music is different

[KingNice92]

@Bonnify I know, I was pretending to be Zazu in the broadway saying that.

[dottiedots221]

@Bonnify Yeah "This wasn't in the cartoon" is a line that Zazu says right beginning of the number.

[Harrypotterfan334]

great breath control

[WowFanatic1100]

The 5 people who disliked this video are Scar.

[KozanTheDarkainian]

@WowFanatic1100 thats not really a an insult he has the voice of jermy irons oneof the best voices ever

[Bonnify]

@WowFanatic1100

that makes no sense



[horsegirlhorsegirl]

My parents had never spent so much money on a play in their lives, but this one was definitely worth it.

[coudarthecat]

5 people don't want Simba to be king.

[Baumstumpfff]

0:50 -> nala's voice is amazing!!

[linkinpark4512]

@Baumstumpfff thanks my sister was playing Nala she really thanks u alot

[drunkendolphin77]

zazoo in this is hilarious!

[luiz3e7]

people who dislike are the most stupidest people alive

[tre103]

who plays simba

[rogerbartbiggestf100]

@tre103 I think his name is Scott Irby-Ranniar

[DarkusThunder]

omg the one who was Nala has an amazing voice DD:

[evilgalore]

@ihatementals thats disguesting how dare you, that was a real good child acterous, I have to atmit that I can play: Scar, Zazu, Young Simba, and Young Nala well, with Scar my biggest strengh, but no one could play Nala like her, I think you would suck as Nala, how dare you

[ihatementals]

@evilgalore lol still she died

[evilgalore]

@ihatementals I'm aware of that yes, a horrible death for a 10-11 yr old! Feel very sorry for the girl

[ihatementals]

@evilgalore i would like to apologize for my disgusting behavior. i feel ashamed of myself and would like to let everyone know the sympathy i feel towars her. I feel deeply ashamed of myself

[evilgalore]

@ihatementals thats ok pal, i am sure that everyone is going to say the same, now lets enjoy the song

[eriberri425]

@ihatementals wow... u have issues wth is wrong with you????

[rachaelnicole08]

R.I.P. To the little girl who was playing Nala on Broadway recently...she died of leukemia and was only 11...makes me cry.

[Pplluver98210]

@rachaelnicole08 i was just reading an article about... when i was 7... my mom and dad took me to go see the lion king in NYC... and when she sang.... it was so beautiful.... she was close to my age so i knew that i can accomplish anything... she taught me how not to give up and live your life to the fullest before it is gone so suddenly.... R.I.P Shannon Tarvez will always be in our hearts

[SinisterHan4T1]

Is Lion On Broadway And Legend of Lion King The Same?

[frazdaz365]

@SinisterHan4T1 unfortunately no

[JoshE2810]

@mayawas1 Well, they weren't strict for me and I'm doing it now.

[dozere34]

[JoshE2810]

[Sara357]

GAHH I LOVE SIMBA'S VOICE!!!!! so strong and awesome

[tre103]

@Sara357 i think he is played by the guy who plays Andre on Victorious

[StarleePie47]

The dislikes were from the hyenas.

[tacoandpie]

@StarleePie47 and scar

[cassybear1100]

@StarleePie47 and dont forget to mention scar :D

[epicninjalegitness1]

[cassybear1100]

@epicninjalegitness1 its a joke -.-

[halfbreeddemon]

Soon as it begins I'm bobbing back and forth in my chair XD "Oh I just can't WAIT to be king!" :D

[shinyGlurak]

I dont understand the world...

[oOCheloniaOo]

@shinyGlurak let's assume it was an accident!

[poq20]

[Thelionkingfan9000]

[LewisB776]

[Baltodefyinggravity]

[trefray]

[JustinBieber4496oxo]

I saw this twice! Once in like 2006 at the Acadmey of Music with my summer theatre and we got to go backstage and see all the costumes! We didn't have good seats! Then I saw it again in NYC in 2008, I think, in September, with my mom and sister and I enjoyed it a lot because we had better seats!

[ShadowHammer321]

[timanator50]

Sorry Disney, but sometimes your songs sound better on broadway then in the movies.

[mhvr85]

@timanator50 it obviously has to sound better...otherwise...the theatrical atmosphere wouldn't work out

[GiuliaCicloni]

@timanator50 You're right!!

[JonathanHallShow]

@timanator50 And vice versa!

[lalisvargis11]

[CantBeBroken16]

wow! nala's voice is amazing! i love how she has more parts in the broadway version

[jackiehallam62]

That's when Simba & Nala were trying to avoid Zazu.

[ALC96]

I will never get to see it. :(

[simbamanzz]

No Broadway Lion King Cast is better than the original

this is the original cast.

[CantBeBroken16]

well i like them both. i say the songs are a little better and i like the how it shows nala before she leaves. but i will always LOVE the original. but this is the broadway version. the orignal sounds WAY different

[somenoob4]

God dam it! Why do i live i sweden?! They never does this play here! =( As soon as i can i'll get a ticket to anywhere they do this. But that would take a while, concidering im 16... and by then they have probally stoped doing this! =(

[fuentesita]

they're doing the play in germany. I saw it once and it was great. if it's any help

[somenoob4]

On english or german? Im affraid i am unable to understand german

[fuentesita]

german sorry

[rorita27q]

we've got a lot in common. i'm sisteen too and i dream to go to The Lion King but they don't play it anywhere in my country DD: I just needed to give you a hug <3.

[Joudyxlove]

I saw this in London, last wednesday. Oh, I wish I could go again, it was so beautiful!

[totaltyler159]

i really love the music.. but i don't know about the voices.. he doesn't sound young enough in my opinion

[CantBeBroken16]

i agree, but trust me he is SMALL.

[AkBoy1000]

omg i just watched this last night it was so good

[lostapple18]

i cant wait to see it in new york this february!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilzedite]

i saw in indianapolis and it was fabolus

[fireburning223]

nala and simba have very professional voices for kids. they are very good. i saw this play when i was like five and i dont remember it :( i wanna see it again. the music sound very nice.

[jrad410]

ive seen this in las vegas and new york but to me they did it better in vegas

[howlongleft]

they dont have the instrumental like this at the start of the broadway show? its different

[GemGems3]

I find Nalas voice very cute ^^

[NEWGallantguy94]

When I was a kid I always looked left & right when he said

"Everybody look left! Everybody look right!

[theoneulovethemost]

I still do that. I'm 18. Hahaha!

[Sophiaia222]

Zazu sounds exactly like the original.......wow!

[cerissss]

whoever said that the disney version is better obviously hasnt seen it :P

[Sophiaia222]

AGREED

[ShadowYoshi7]

I decided to play this at the same time as the original in the movie. It took forever to get it synced up right, but it sure was interesting xD

[lutatrox]

Is Simba actually played by a little boy? He has a great voice, I wanna see this on broadway!

[thebulletalchemist]

Yea, when I went to see it the kid couldn't have been more than 8 years old.

[lutatrox]

Well thats amazing!

[thebulletalchemist]

Heck yes it is!
