Bumped onto this, 8 yrs since it's been posted, and it really gave me goosebumps ❤

[@c.j2138]

I still get chills when the woman starts singing after about the millionth time watching

[@That_Reikigirl_Sims]

Oh my god this is beautiful. I was there. The moment I hear the scream I already knew it’s gonna be lion king’s song. Two thumbs up, guys. I’m very happy I finally found this video!!

[@freishavocadoo7399]

Woman: *AHHHHHHH HHHHHH* Guy in a beanie: "oh sht dude!"

[@Cassxowary]

He’s part of the cast and he got startled too!

[@MattiK2609]

I think he just pretended to be startled for fun :D

[@jasminehiggins1354]

I remember doing the Lion King play with my best friends on Saturday.

[@RobertKoepke]

My son was Scar in this performance - BY FAR MY FAVORITE BROADWAY PRODUCTION! To see the show, this song has so much meaning. Thank you for sharing!

So you want this to not be seen by anyone now? Why? You want to see a worse video that was uploaded RIGHT TODAY? How does your brain work?

Not in Gb what 😂😂😂 never did I say this, I’m just pointing out the beauty of KZbin recommendations

[@mets78]

You have to understand, musical acts on NYC subways are pretty common. Broadway performances definitely aren't, but subway artists are actually pretty good. They have to be because they always ask for money at the end, which is what I suspect a lot of the passengers were expecting. Us New Yorkers also like our quiet time on the train, however short a ride it is, and hate when it's interrupted, no matter what it is. We perfected the art of pretending we're either asleep or just don't see you. That said, if I'd been there I would've been singing right along with them! And then pretended I was asleep, lol.

[@msmith4767]

Mets78 thanks very much I truly agree with what you said being a New Yorker (especially how much we pay for transportation). Also I saw some people with their phones in their hands recording as well as flashes going off from some pictures being taken. I also saw some people at the end the performance give some of the performers high fives. So just because they were not "crying" doesn't mean they were ungrateful. People need to stop ASSuming (and I emphasize the word ass everyone reacts differently) they did not enjoy the performance.

[@MikelangeloYoutube]

Yup. Typical New Yorkers don’t even raise an eyebrow

[@katemorris1620]

Right?

[@kylieespina6424]

I think its the fact that people come in the train everyday and perform whether its singing, dancing or whatever that we got so used to it, so its just nothing new anymore. Some days I appreciate it but there are some days where I would prefer some peace and quiet especially when its early in the morning

[@alocalweeb7555]

The subway is the best way of commute so you see a lot of random things and get used to it eventually especially if you live or grow up there

[@kennethhandschuh3476]

Mikelangelo the only ones enjoying this hot mess was the performers. The riders just looked boated by this iffy performance. Would not make me want to spend $$$$ a seat to go.

[@peterbaldwin1499]

Loved the two little girls singing along, wonderful it must be to be young and free and to be able to sing from your heart simply for the pleasure of it.

[@koreanchick1417]

Peter Baldwin pretty sure they're also part of the cast ;)

[@BanjoPicker]

No matter what age. Always find a song and sing like there is no tmrw! BOHO forever Jah love the world.

That's the "danger" of being in NYC: you never know when you'll cross paths with a Broadway cast 😄! So beautiful, though! 👌❤ I'm crying watching this.

[@lcvlyjams]

I went to watch the musical and sounds exactly like how they were singing in the subway, those people who were in the subway r lucky to have a free like music

[@FaithandNova]

I saw the musical yrs ago, would love to see it again. Take the kids now that they are older

[@pertuniamashoto8155]

[@jademaikhamiergas8421]

idk why I can't stop myself laughing at the man who startled when the woman starts singing🤣

[@rainbowsandlove]

I noticed that as well! And then he’s part of the cast singing! In fairness, even if I knew it was about to happen, that was a pretty powerful note she hit when she started singing...!

[@theeverythingkid]

It's starts and everyone looks and stares

Such a beautiful show. I took my daughter when they were in Vegas and literally got teary eyed at this song. This would be such an amazing experience.

I'd ask them to sing He Lives in You.

[@lhj276]

As a New Yorker, when people start singing on the subway, I usually pray for it to end. The people who don't look excited are those people who have been submitted to bad subway singers for so many years they can't absorb the miracle they are being made privy to.

No... All those big voices sound amazing in a large theater, but when you're inside a steel can that is screeching against the tracks it all just starts to sound like noise. I'm a fan and even I would've wanted them to shut up.

I actually didn't see any negative reactions at all, which was equally surprising. I thought there'd be one person going, "What the--?"

D'you mean the people ignoring the music, just sitting with a straight face? They're New Yorkers. Just a stranger on the bus, tryna make their way home.
