What's more was that at the show I went to, they manipulated the set so mufasa's face appeared in the stars and they got the broadway actor to speak into a microphone saying "Simba, you have forgotten me." god that part was so deep and amazing. I'd gladly walk to london just to see it again.

@@d.w.4676 I mean its a very unorthodox movie/musical if you think about it, they believe in their ancestors watching over them, not a god so “he lives in you” is a reference to one’s death ancestors and even father in this case.

It makes me feel as if i'm standing in the heart of Africa and for some reason Lion King always reminds me that life can be beautiful even though it can be rather bittersweet sometimes.
