Not me crying 20 years later over Mufasa and Simba's relationship. "He lives in you" hits different when you've lost a parent as well.

OMG. I just saw it for the 3rd time tonight and, having lost a parent suddenly a few months ago, felt the same thing about that song.

This is what I consider the live action Lion King

[@arctic_shadow578]

@Matilda Lochrin I still cried when simba did

The thing is the remake wasn’t live action either, because it was CGI.

@@m1sh474 You telling me the live musical got it wrong from the start. The colorful faced Rafiki is a Male Mandrill. Next they'll be letting a female actor play Simba like they do with Peter Pan.

I saw this cast a couple of nights ago and oh my goodness. Nick is absolutely incredible. He gives Simba such emotion and truth in his performance and the rest of the cast are outstanding too. I wanna go again. !

[@HaylieHoang]

Rafiki's yiyiyiyiyi is so contagious and funny to the point that both Nala and Simba cannot hold their laugh LOL!

[@eviannafaye5269]

I just love the way Simba searches for her hand, the way he holds her, the way he looks at her...OMG...the feels, the feels....and that manly manly chest...Really wished they kissed at 1:58.....I watched this clip of Nala and Simba over and over again and never get bored.....

[@JeffFreemanPresents]

Oh, this makes me miss Jason Raize. A beautiful soul, a terrible loss. I'm so glad the songs he sang continue to amaze and enthrall.

There's a lot of comments about Nick and he was awesome but Ava is absolutely my favorite Nala!

[@brunomars9045]

Maros Blacklisted - Yes. She is the best Nala. Her and Nick Together is just Perfection.

[@minombre33]

Everyone is outstanding, but Rafiki!!! She is just pure genius on the stage.

[@Daksina]

That Simba 😱 Amazing!!!

[@JonoEMz]

Had the honour of watching Nick perform when the cast came to New Zealand last year! What a performance by all of them 👐

[@tiffanyha1885]

I watched him in Sydney also! Cannot forget

[@thegoodone1381]

Wow.. I would say this could be the best version of all I saw in KZbin.

[@beeziex]

Der liebevolle Puschel it actually is the best version / combo / duet / however you want to put it. I’ve been binging out trying to find other videos of these 2 and only found them performing with other people and nowhere near the same chemistry on both accounts. They really do amazing together, I wouldn’t want to watch any other production without knowing that these two were playing Simba and Nala. Just incredible!

[@Princesa784]

My goodness, the purity in his eyes, his emotions always on point, and living each scene as if it was his first and last time, the way he dances as a truly African and his young but regal voice... Nik Afoa will always be the one and only Simba!!

[@digbick3441]

These two amd Rafiki are the PERFECT cast. Best Simba, Nala and Rafiki.

[@troddenleper8915]

I think the reason why they did not kiss is because they wanted to mimic the movements of the animals in the movie ass well as in real life. Having them kiss is really not needed because you really feel the love in the portrayals. And they are lions, they don't express love in kisses.

[@brunomars9045]

Justin Paul Mijares - Lions also lick each other to express their love. They should of licked the fuck outta one another.

[@kqrlyn]

@@brunomars9045 XD

[@missxmarvel]

Or maybe because you don't have to play tonsil hockey to let the other know you care.

[@kairosewrites5729]

The way he smiles when rafiki came out okml

[@beeziex]

Ava Brennan and Nick Afoa, the best Simba and Nala in my opinion. Their chemistry and connection is simply amazing! They compliment each other in every way and bring the spirit of Simba and Nala to life.

[@moonman7059]

The original cast are my favorite

[@ghazal9562]

This is so much better than the live action

[@tamrastambaugh206]

2:37 they starting smile and laughing when Rafiki said yiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiy they just couldn't hold it xD

[@thechameleon808]

Nick Afoa as Simba is fantastic, but who is the girl playing Nala? She has an amazingly beautiful voice.

[@TW-fn2ef]

I think it is Ava Brennan

[@whatbet]

Her body movement is so beautiful, so beautiful, amazing

[@HoRR0rT]

Sorry but Jason crushes him so much more powerful like a true king

[@InesJosie]

idk her name anymore but she used to play nala in germany as well

[@GazzyD]

Travis Crist - Agreed, Jason’s voice just had so much power to it.

[@fingerntheasstypeniga6697]

I've been looking for this for over a month but they took the video down for some reason. This is the best Simba his voice is so emotional and his facial expressions and body movements are absolutely amazing. Thank u for putting it back up.

Lyrics: Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings, the world for once, in perfect harmony.. with all its living things! Simba: So many things to tell her.. but how to make her see? The truth about my past? Impossible! She'd turn away from me... Nala: He's holding back, he's hiding.. but what, I can't decide.. Why won't he be the king I know he is.... the king I see inside! Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far! Stealing through, the night's uncertainties.. love is where we are! Nala: And if he feels the love tonight.. in the way I do... Simba: It's enough for this restless wanderer.. just to be with you..
