I am a Musician/Producer, released over 15 Albums and worked with many wonderful artists, but never ever in my life have i heard a voice that touched me more than Thandazile Soni's in her role as Rafiki. Every single time she came on stage, tears of joy ran down my cheeks (not exaggerating)... She is that good. In my humble opinion she is the greatest singer that i have ever experienced. I am in awe and thankful, that i had the chance to listen to something so wonderful. Thank you Thandazile Soni.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the lighting in this scene? At the start, it shifts from blue to red/orange, night to day, and this represents the birth of Simba, as he is supposed to be the light that shines through darkness in the play. At the end, the lighting shifts the opposite way, day to night, foreshadowing the darkness that is to come later in the play. It's so expertly crafted, every shift in lighting, choreography, voice or anything else represents something and I love it.

[@KenleyGe]

what does the choreography represent, if i can know u seem passionate at this.

[@balto2455]

i dont think it turns into night, but its the orange morning light that turns into blue sky

Good interpretation, but it’s most probably just done to show the day’s natural course.

I first saw this performance when my father was in the hospital. He had his days numbered, couldn’t move or talk. All he could do was blink and the whole year our family was struggling. Then my roommate bought me ticket to this show suggesting I get some fresh air. So I sat alone in a theatre packed with excited people, wondering what the hell I am doing here. Soon this song came through the auditorium and I teared up right away because it was so so beautiful and my father would never see anything this beautiful again. That was 2 years ago and my dad passed away on Christmas eve of 2019, but this song reminds me how I wished I could share more good things with him.

What makes this show so brilliant is the attention to every little detail. Can you imagine the creativity that went into just this opening scene? People depicting animals while walking across stage on stilts and singing. The stage, the sets, the flawless ness of everything. It’s not my all-time favorite show, but it is one of them, and it is by far best choreographed and creative.

[@lindamorrison4670]

Absolutely amazing to watch and listen to. I actually felt tearing up. Also felt goosebumps

This musical Broadway show is ASTONISHING! The African culture brought out through music, song and dance is amazing, and I feel immersed in their beautiful culture. Such a well casted show ❤️

[@Chandinosaur]

This typical one right here isn't even a Broadway show. This one was preformed at Scheveningen in the Netherlands

[@LM-gm9yo]

1:12 the dancer's moves entering the stage on left are so graceful and smooth 😯 the body control is insane!

[@JasonBrabander]

And every single move with a purpose that adds to their character.

[@LM-gm9yo]

@@JasonBrabander Exactly!! It's incredible! 🤩

[@ericacruz8261]

3:27 seeing the baby elephant in the bottom right corner dancing is the cutest 🥰

Aha right . ❤️

I just saw this in Miami and it made me cry just from the intro song. It was worth every dime. Took me back to my childhood.

[@icoxicrxn4545]

I don’t think if people know about how much LOVE and EFFORT they put in this just for us! I saw that show for a drama field trip, and I saw the cast and they said, “They would take their whole day for a loud cheer of a audience”

[@sharonwilson5489]

If you only get to see 1 play in your life, see this one . It’s been 21 years since I did. I will never forget it. We had standing room only tickets for $20. Dollars. I am now 70 and I would stand for it again! I had no idea the animals came down the aisles.My husband told me to turn around. The lights were down.I turned and the elephant behind me threw up his trunk. I sobbed. I hope to someday see it again. My son is a Broadway producer now with a show on Broadway called A Strange Loop . Just maybe I will . I will gladly stand xo

[@cheese_bug2593]

I was so blessed to see this live a few years ago. I cried. Lion king has been a staple of my childhood

Dude I remember walking out of the theatre at like 7 years old knowing I may never see anything as amazing as that again and I've been right. Truly blessed to have seen this live

[@Jan2times]

It doesn’t matter what language, I cry every time I hear this song. It’s so beautiful and powerful.

[@naimshakir3569]

Alpär Javanshir you should look up the meaning of the words. Surprisingly, they are not nonsense words, which is what made them being used to compose this song even more interesting and difficult.

[@annanimi7141]

@@naimshakir3569 okay :) i sure will :)

[@aroseh]

i saw this live about 5 years ago and honestly, especially when it comes to the visuals, probably the best musical i've ever seen

[@MasayaTina]

I’m actually tearing up. I’m a huge disney fan and my ex boyfriend bought Broadway tickets to watch this and ended up returning them the same day because of an argument. He ended up cheating on me and I had the strength to leave. I hope one day I can watch this or go to a play and not tie his presence into anything that I love. With strength I will take myself to watch this play one day. :) Thanks for reading.

[@phoebechristian6087]

I know the feeling. Me and my ex were going to go and see it. It would have been his first musical and my first west end show. He ended it a few weeks ago so now every time I see this it makes me think of his reaction. You’ll be okay though, I’ve managed to watch things we saw together x

[@dystanysam9896]

kristina l Giiirl what is wrong with you 🤦🏾‍♀️ I would’ve had just keep them . & went by myself

[@waynethompson3216]

[@waynethompson3216]

[@jareds6693]

A theatrical feast for the senses. Pure magic and beauty. I never tire of this opening scene. It transports me a place of bliss!

[@jsec4222]

This reminds me of what it felt the first time I heard this song watching the lion king. Call me dramatic, but this song is the best anthem out there of an individual belonging to something that’s a lot bigger than just themselves. It’s indescribable!

[@kathulemerald8000]

These damn artistic uncontrollable goosebumps force me to upvote. What a great intro!

[@englishboy1232]

i just love how they made every animal seem so real....

So underrated.. for this comment I subbed-

[@janet0613.]

As someone who has experienced the performance live before i want to say that it’s unlike anything else, I got so emotional with the opening, It was my dream since a child to see it and I did when I turned 18 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@albaniangirl664]

This song breaks my heart everytime i hear it, nature is so wonderful and we treat it so bad, the animals are endangered... I hope things will change for good! ♥️🙏🏿🙏🏼

Nothing is more powerful either in a song or speech than the authenticity of the singers or speaker. When something is authentic you just know the person believes what they are communicating. That's the real powerful of these two incredibly gifted singers and actors.

[@Alex_Ruiz1013]

AND THAT'S WHY THE LION KING HAVE THE BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER...

[@CrimeAuditor2023]

The props, semiotics, story- everything: TRUELY MAGIC.

Was blessed to have seen this play twice in the early 2000’s and the opening song and performance still wows me! All the Actors are astonishing!!!!!

I wish everyone had the chance to witness this opening live in the theater. Julie Taymor’s genius created the most uplifting and emotional time I ever spent in the theater.

Life is truly miraculous. Isn’t it amazing how people of Africa despite the water and food scarcity, despite scorching heat don’t lose their positivity, staying vibrant and full of energy.

[@CS-nb5hu]

Do you really think the entirety of Africa is just the desert? Africa is full of rich beautiful countries and cities and to assume every single african lives in a desert and has no food or water is pretty racist. You seem to be a grown adult, it's surprising you don't know this.

[@geyaneya1498]

That's a bad take, and this is in the fucking Netherlands.

[@xiaofeiyin9899]

I'm in South Africa and I was in Tanzania for almost one year. I had been to Serengeti, seen the animals, it's been ten years before, but I will not forget the awesomeness all my life. This is great nature and circle of life.
