Makes me proud to be African, in Nigeria we may not have all these cool animals but there’s something we share as a continent it’s beautiful seeing it represented on the international stage ❤

[@Nothanks935]

What's sad is that this was all written and composed by 2 English men.

[@thelouisfanclub]

@@Nothanks935 the main melody is but the famous bit at the beginning is by a South African artist. Do you honestly think Elton John and Tim Rice wrote Zulu music?

[@Hinatachan360]

Lebo M helped write the parts in Zulu. His choir sang most of the songs. In fact he was even in the Broadway show singing One by One.

The absolutely most wonderful live stage show you could ever see. Joyful, emotional, wonderful.

[@Superfootix]

First time I saw intro in Johannesburg in 2007, I could not believe what I saw, the ads was the king returns home. It was so fit thanks to Lebo M and all the south African culture. Hans Zimmer is a genius, Lebo M as well and the choreographer could not be better !

[@CarpartiA]

The most fascinating and magical stage opening show in the theater I’ve ever witnessed so far ❤️❤️❤️

[@bebebebota11]

If I could see this live once I will die happy.

Absolutely amazing! Saw it at NYC with my boyfriend. It's so moving and when this came on in the beginning of the show "circle of life" I cried ❤ a experience I'll never forget

[@Andrealr2012]

I've seen this 6 times over the years twice in one week here In Ireland and will always be as excited to go again .

I saw live performance in Singapore before. It's totally worth that SGD$200! That moment when they sing that song, it touches me deeply, I literally cried out of happiness.

All the lead singers will be wearing mics. Some of the ensemble might not be here because of the venue, but in the real show every single person on stage will be wearing a mic.

pretty sure they did use, they just hided it in where you cant see, it sounds will not like this if they dont use

Compare to northwest’s joke🤦🏻‍♀️

[@iMsOiNsO]

Oh be careful. They get mad when you say the kid sucked 🤣

[@hannahw7023]

​@@iMsOiNsO she wasn't good but I think people need to acknowledge that she's a 10 yr old and that the responsibility falls on the adult casting director who engaged in nepotism and gave her the role. Children don't have the same self-awareness and morality that we adults have, so I absolutely blame the casting director and/or her parents

[@iMsOiNsO]

@@hannahw7023 me as well…but in a way I don’t feel people are criticizing north per say but ANY child in THR spotlight should be open to criticism. If not every kid sto should be on broadway and in shows. I remember seeing a sign that a football coach put up. “Uncoachable kids become unemployable adults” doesnt mean they are giving hatred towards the child but just wants them to do better. If she was in this she should’ve been taught better but the way she talks to her mother ik she is already thinking she’s above all. Her mother is too blame until no doubt. But at a certain age when North will receive all the hate randomly when she’s older and people justify it as well she’s of age now that’s when it looks bad to me. Let her know NOW she needs to work on this Kraft and can’t be handed just anything.

[@Hinatachan360]

Oh lord don't remind me. 😂

[@HisRoyalMajesty_Bob_the_Sponge]

if it is her favorite film/musical and kim wanted to see her baby perform as simba, i get the motivation. from the lens of a kid's school play this was a cute memory for north to have. but yeah its on the internet forever and all these strangers online hate her for it lol
