Makes me cry EVERY. TIME. I was practically in hysterics when I saw this in person. Watching all of the puppets come down the aisles and onto the stage was a hell of an experience. Definitely going to go see it again when I get the chance.

Being part of this cast was everything to me I loved doing this show

Everytime I hear this I feel like Africa is calling me home 😊.

Why am I crying??? I imagine this song playing across the globe once this pandemic ends!!

The chord progression in this song is one of the most magical ever.

This is how you do a “Live Action” Lion King. I remember seeing this at the Wharton Center, it amazed me to no end. 🤩🍸

I watched and I cried. You will not regret. Do not doubt buying the tickets when they come to your area!

Can I just obsess over the props/puppets for a minute.😂😂😂

This song makes me cry tears of joy EVERY FREAKING TIME. and when I saw the live musical, I WANTED TO HOWL WITH EXCITEMENT, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

I saw this for my birthday in Edinburgh at the weekend. As someone who has wanted to see this for YEARS, and has waited it to return to Edinburgh for 7 years it was truly INCREDIBLE. It wasn’t just a musical. It was an EXPERIENCE. As the number started I couldn’t help but start crying. The amount of work that goes into a musical that has been touring for the last 22 years. The realisation that I was there, sitting in that audience watching the cast walk on stage. Knowing that one of my dreams had just come true. If you ever get the chance go see it, do it! It will be one of the best experiences you’ve spent you money on. It is worth every, single penny! Edit: saw it again in Edinburgh on Thursday and (somehow) it was even better!

I saw this on Broadway when I was 11 years old I am 30 now and I still remember this never forgot it. It was so unforgettable. It was so good. I really want to go back. This was so so so good.

How to wake up a family who’s way into Disney

0:00 goosebump The woman’s voice even stronnger than my muscles

I've attended this 16 times in 4 different cities (the first, being New York City). I always take others to see it. I've had my students perform it for their spring production and I've attended countless of my colleagues productions of it. As much as I love the entire play, I'm good after the opening scene. It is mind boggling each time. I've seen it from floor seats, the mezzanine, but mostly the lower balcony. In my opinion that gives you the most majestic view. Yes, I'm a bit obsessed with it.

As crazy amazing as this video is, seeing it live is indescribably powerful

I had tears rolling down my face both times I've been able to see this in the London West End. Even watching this clip gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes watery..

Every time I watch this I'm just amazed at the actors, especially the 2 who do the giraffes.

This is one of the most epic music pieces in music history. Something like an anthem. I always have tears in my eyes. What a fu..ing exquisite song

I never had the chance to see them but I know myself I would cry until the end, this movie has such a special place in my heart that just hearing the songs makes me cry. No need to say how much chills I get

There is something about seeing this in person that is extremely overwhelming in the most beautiful way. Tears well in my eyes every time. Before covid, the yaks during the stampede would fill the isles and "run" with the audience. Im not sure what changed this, honestly. It was one of my favorite parts of the show. You felt like you were running right beside simba. It made the experience so real. But every time they uplift him over pride rock, i bawl like a child. Still do. If you havent seen this play yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

This makes me so happy! Literally crying from this it's beautiful!

i saw this on one of the front rows. it shook me her voice is so powerful. ❤❤❤

Have to say ‘Lion King’ is the best Musical I’ve ever seen. I saw it in Sydney for my 50th Birthday 16 years ago, unlike me it hasn’t aged.😁💕

0:32 WHAT A STRONG VOICE!!! My god!! That raspyness sounded so good too

I remember seeing this in person for the first time and practically vibrating out of my seat with excitement as soon as I heard the first note. Seeing the huge elephant coming down the aisle was a mind-blowing experience, and the whole thing was truly magical. The acting, the set, the music, THE COSTUMES, it's all so incredible. Everyone should go see this in person at least once in their lives. I can't even find the words to describe how amazing it is.

Just having the Best Memories at Middle School doing this Musical Act, I'm actually having goosebumps right now!! I just LOVE IT!!

I hope this becomes the first musical we get back once this pandemic FINALLY ends because imagine all of us in the theatre just hearing the first note drop and crying. We deserve this.

I've seen the stage show 5 times in 2 states, and I plan on seeing it again. 😍 I seriously will never get tired of it!!!

When the animals came down the aisles I wanted to cry

I saw this with my grandma and it was AMAZING As well as seeing Aladdin at Disneyland and the little mermaid on broadway with my mother who has now passed Disney musicals are honestly just as great maybe even better than the original movies! Honestly some of my greatest memories!

Saw the Lion King on Broadway a couple of years ago and it was fanominal; worth every penny. Will be bringing my little munchkin soon.

Seeing The Lion King on Broadway is on my bucket list.

2:16 I am dying because of the little baby elephant. So cute!!!

I have no idea why but every single time and I mean EVERY, I just burst into tears and bawl my eyes out while watching and listening to this. The first time I watched it was in a theatre class and it took everything in me not to start sobbing in the middle of class, I ended up discreetly wiping my tears 😃

I saw this on tuesday in Broadway! Still emotional about it. Beautiful

My mom took me to see this when I was around 25 and even though I grew up going to broadway shows I was in awe sitting on the isle seat with the elephants walking right past us. One of the best shows hands down

My dad promised he’d take me to see this... At the age of 2... Finally got to see this at the age of 10. Worth the wait Thanks dad xxx

I’ve seen this play twice and i cried the entire time it’s so incredible ❤

Seeing this number alone live is worth the ticket price. This video doesn’t do it justice since you can’t see the singers in the audience boxes and the puppets coming down the aisles right by you. It’s a beautiful, beautiful show and I’m so glad I just got to see it live.

CHILLS every time. The vocal power and beauty of the score combined with the gracefulness, naturalness, and personality that is brought to each member of the animal kingdom shown in this opening number blows my mind every time.

Just this scene alone makes it worth seeing.

I was never a big fan of Lion King the animated film. I mean... I liked it enough, I liked the music, but it was never a Disney movie that made we want to watch the animation again and again. I then went to go see Lion King the musical, and I thought, "NOW THIS is how it should be done. It blows the animated film out of the water." I cry everytime I see the Circle of Life opening scene. It's SO powerful.

Saw this in Singapore and just bawled.

Omg 😭😭 the tickets were soooo worth it!!! My daughter and I cried as soon as it started! Waiting for this again in el paso!

Just have to say, of all the Lion King onstage recordings I've watched on KZfaq, this one shows panoramic view of the start of the show with more clarity and beauty than any other! I haven't seen another video that captures so clearly the entire lighting progression from the dark stage to the dark blue sky to the dawn, the sunrise, the shimmer of heat, the MIST rising off the ground(!!!!!) all the way through each animal's entrance. Thank you, videographer, for doing that -- it's just fantastic!!!! There's little details I caught in this recording that I hadn't noticed before, like the fact that the baby elephant (my favorite!!!) had a little bird on his head, or that the two gazelles stand like bookends on either far side of the stage, making sure the herds are gathering in an organized fashion (like bouncers, hee hee), or how sweet Mufasa and his wife are to each other as they stand on Pride Rock, nuzzling every now and then, and holding hands. Augh, I'm weepy again. ;)

Simply marvellous. ...it's my dream to see the Lion King on Broadway......it hasn't happened yet...one day I hope😯

it gives me chills every time... EVERY TIME

The vocal qualities and harmonies are amazing! So much richer than the Disney soundtrack

Every time I hear this my African pride kicks in, and I’m a Mexican.

First saw this in London when I was about 3 or 4 years old and it's still my favourite even now at 23. This opening makes me cry every time!

I’ve seen this magnificent musical three times here in Los Angeles and will do so again when I go to NYC in January 2022. Every time the cast enters by coming down the aisles singing in their beautiful costumes I got teary eyed. Just fabulous!

Personally, I think this show has far more meaning than the remake film. Not just because it's adapted with respect to the original film and with the same creative spirit and love, but because of the amazing cultural richness of the costumes and props. And how those costumes and the body puppets re so amazingly adapted to show the actors while maintaining the animal characteristics, the most amazing thing to me.

This is so beautiful idk why I’m sobbing but damn

2021 and still listening to this masterpiece having the same goosebumps and about to sob...again. 🌅

My daughter and I saw Lion King in NYC eight years ago. It will be coming to our area in Spring 2022. Her daughter will be 3 by then. We will be taking her, it’s such a visual treat.

Saw this show the Lyceum London amazing from start to finish

Watched this live today,I don't think I'm gonna enjoy any other musical ever,this was just so grand

I cried when I saw this live, it's so breathtaking!

This was my first Broadway show with my sister, her husband and my late husband when I lived in Manhattan/NYC for 16 years. I fell in love with the show and the music. Back then they sold DVD's downstairs and I HAD to buy it. It was $24 and kind of out of our budget. But it was one of the best thing I ever bought. The DVD is useless now, but I still hold on to it. I've heard the entire music/songs a million times and it never gets old.

Still one of the best Broadway shows I've seen! Never gets old!

Thank God I'm not the only one who cries watching and hearing that song.

Saw this about 2 years ago. It was AMAZING!!!! :)

The best musical I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing! I am a thankful 🙏🏽

When I understand this thing now it makes me feel so happy because that's such a beautiful play and the end is just as beautiful thank you thank you thank you We are all truly in the circle of life Only one creator

Can't wait to watch the show in New York with my family

Losing moisture here watching this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Powerful AF 😍😍😍😍

I got to see the Broadway traveling version last night it was so good I started to cry when all the animals came out in the first 5 minutes

I always tell people, if they're only going to see one big stage production it absolutely has to be the lion king. 10/10 production 1:22 😊

That elephant and its baby makes me cry every. Single. Time. 😍

I watched it when I got back home I cry 😭

I have no words as the tears are strolling down my face. Emotional journey xx

Seen it twice. Once in Melbourne then in New York before covid came. I cried so much when I heard this. Happiness and memories flooding back. If I ever get the chance to go and see the lion king again I will

Escuchar esta canción y ver el musical es un regalo para el mundo por parte de una cultura maravillosa, gracias Disney por tremenda obra maestra.

I saw the show off Broadway in 2019 and I think it was Norfolk Virginia and it’s honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life and I can’t wait to see it again

I saw it live in Birmingham years ago and it still gives me chills. What a beautiful show! Someday I hope to take my little nieces to see it if it's still going in a few years when they're old enough.

Absolutely loved watching this! I was so fortunate to see The Lion King on Broadway in 2011. It was my first and only time I’ve flown abroad. I hope to see it again in London one day.

This song is so POWERFUL I love it!!! ❤

Saw this two years ago. Its was just life altering♥️

Watching this with my daughter. She's in love with this scene.

The real definition of beauty!

i am crying a lot!!!! I love this song!!

the song that made me fallen in love with african voices

That is the most UNENTHUSIASTIC audience ever! This is the only live action Lion King that should ever exist!

Just saw this on Saturday in London .. was absolutely blown away! So brilliantly done 😍 x

Amazing costumes and talent

Yes! I saw this musical twice! It was so amazing!

when i saw this on broadway as soon as this song started i was crying

I saw this a few days ago at the Hult center in Eugene. When all the actors walked down the stairs, I was shook. The vocals were so good and it was hilarious how they added in inside jokes. Seriously though, I loved it, and i wish the cast the best of luck in their upcoming performances 😊💜

Omg this ALWAYS makes me wanna cry, brings up so many memories

This rafiki gets all roles Singapore,China,tour,Brazil and many more

Every time I see this, I feel humanity is calling......

I saw this in 2019 in London, holy shit it blew my mind

Much much more enjoyable than the lion king 2019 remake. So much beauty. Lion King original from 1994 wouldn’t have been this iconic without this.

I saw this recently and I unfortunately had a seat under the mezzanine so I couldn’t see the top part of the stage but this was still amazing to watch and that elephant had to have like 6-8 people inside it.

So wonderful

I’m going to the Manchester one on the 9th this month and my friends will miss me when I’m away to see this I’m totally gonna enjoy it 100% I love the lion king so much I never saw the musical in person I only saw some of it on yt and It’s my drama topic too excitingly I love my life so much

I was taken as a child to this. Saw it again in NY as an adult and now I’m taking my daughter. The nostalgia is soooo real 🥹

I'm crying rn😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Best musical ever!!!🦁👑

Magical.
