The woman playing Rafiki has been playing her since 1999 and I’m so glad she’s back

The beginning of this song always feels like its calling me back home to a land ive never set foot on...

There's just something unexplainable about this song.. tears every single time.

“They don’t know why but they cry”… I’ve watched this 4 times in person. I’ve cried every single time. And I really don’t know why. It’s so incredibly beautiful.

I wanna work with a Director that is THAT emotionally invested!

That director has seen this music be performed a thousand times but still gets moved as the first time, that's the true tell of a great song and a great cast, and of a dedicated director who really loves the material

I love Africa and being African, the lead’s voice is authentically African, you can feel her struggle, her pride, her hope… as Africans we live on hope that tomorrow will be even better than today, and we are immensely proud of who we are…

I just started crying like a newborn from the moment that lovely lady opened her mouth and let her vocals make art. I’ll never forget the amazing, unforgettable experience I’d watching The Lion King on Broadway

If you don't get chocked hearing the opening of this amazing song then you have no soul.

I'm in my office crying. You can feel the power of the moment as most of these actors were laid off and didn't know if there were ever going to come back to work. This was a song of resilience and determination. I am so EXCITED Broadway is back!!!! We missed you!

Tshidi Manye coming through with some of the truest, most heartwarming vocals I have ever heard, yet again. That lady has skill!

Truly amazing😢😢😢

Tshidi Manye's eyes are so beautiful.

"There is far too much to take in here..." truer words have never been spoken. This shows the absolute power of Music -- and making it with other people!

The woman was singing from her soul. The chills, after watching several times, have been incredibly mesmerizing ❤❤❤

Julie Taymor, the director, is 100% correct.

I will never ever get tired of hearing this!! Such a beautiful and powerful opening!! Always brings tears to my eyes 😭😭😍😍😍😍😍😍

They described it perfectly... that is the power of Theater. As well as damn good music, being sung by passionate singers. That's a combo that can bridge any divide, heal any wounds, and invite EVERYONE to come together in peace and love

Three seconds in you made me cry, what the heck. That Africa Mama has a heart for the song as vast as the horizon. I definitely know why I'm crying.

The international anthem for humankind and animals, such a powerful song.
