The Lion King Jr.

[@racheljaponte]

Thank you all of your comments, good or bad. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions! Please keep in mind that these kids are only 3rd through 5th grade, with no prior acting experience!!!

[@mclarke15]

3rd through 4th grade? this is remarkable! from whom did you rent the costumes?

[@elizabethrainey7864]

Rachel J. Flood I am doing a play exactly the same as this and ours is the bet

[@madeleine5129]

Elizabeth Rainey Alright sweetheart, calm yourself down, I'm sure it's great

[@elizabethrainey7864]

_.Its_Just_Madz._ it was way you better you know plus on the last day are young simba got sick so are young nala had to be young simba and one of the chorus had to be young nala and they only had one day to learn all of the lines plus the day before that older simba had to be young simba with someone else saying the lines even if he said some of the lines wrong it was fine and any way we did it better plus it was the exact same script as them so la la la la:)

The girl playing Timon here is a spunky and lively firecracker. You go girl 👍🏽

[@ainsleyhanes]

I was in The Lion King Jr. but I was only a Lioness, a Zebra, and basically a backup dancer for every song. I was also an understudy for Adult Nala and Young Nala.

[@Sapph1cSph1nx]

Brilliant job to the kid who played Rafiki. Their solo was perfect.

[@grayj9661]

Kraizzykitten thanks that was me

A Melon thanks for the awesome commentary 😍

[@miniplaysmsp2338]

This kids did great. They deserve to be on KZbin and be shown to the world.

[@nika2013]

Is no one talking about how hilarious the actor for Timon was? Like I loved it!!!

[@StijnHommes]

The kid who played Scar did an exceptional job. Overall, it was enjoyable to watch.

[@freyaguppy]

I'm in this play, we have a cast of thirty kids ages 11-14 and only three boys, I got cast as a lioness and I'm having so much fun in the rehearsals so far. Your props and costumes are phenomenal I can't imagine how much work must've gone into this production, really good job to everyone involved!!

[@perrybotics]

Phil's Fox Jumper Ha. NO

[@freyaguppy]

Crota the Taken - what.. do you mean "NO." ..?

[@prinitykat]

I love Rafiki's voice and it's beautiful my only perhaps complaint is she doesn't belt, Rafiki is meant to call, the whole song is a call and response so the only tip I'd say is she needs to sing slightly louder as if she is calling to someone or something, other then that she was lovely and I enjoy it :D

[@grayj9661]

Prinity Thank you so much for the encouragement and tips! I was rafiki!!

[@thefrogmayor6524]

Prinity he sings way better then me

[@lucyamann9017]

I agree I played Rafiki and as my voice coach said it was supposed to be "blood and guts" singing. I really didnt get that from this actor.

[@lucyamann9017]

@@grayj9661 Awesome me too!!! Where'd you do it??

[@blah7983]

Kids shouldn’t belt! Even college students are usually not allowed to belt until third year. She was great.

[@meccawalker4773]

omg to adorable..... these kids rocked it for there age group. Yes we all know what it can be, but the negative comments toward our youth is unnecessary. To the teachers, parents and students Kudos..... keep the arts alive in our schools. Very impressed

[@quiggc1]

I once had a cool dream. Kari Wahlgren was in it. And we were both singing "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" in Lion King Jr. While she was playing Zazu and singing in English, I was playing Simba and singing in Spanish.

[@lillianeilertson4257]

Rafiki was adorable! All of these young actors and actresses are so talented, I’m doing this musical at my school so I came for inspiration (I play Sarabi) thanks so much!

[@quintymeuleman]

This is probably the best rising sun I've seen in a Jr. Lion King production. it's large and perfectly round. Any idea on the process of making it? I had to make a smaller version once and couldn't find a better way to do it than eyeballing the dowel length and cutting it approximately, which worked OK but I'd love to know how this one was made.

My theater is doing this show, I got cast as Bonzia. I have 36 lines, and a short solo, I'm very excited! This show was very good considering it was 3rd 4th and 5th graders. Sinzi's mic was a bit to loud, and there were other things that needed more work, young Nala didn't seem to enthusiastic, and the other actors could use some more excitement. Rafiki did outstanding job though.

So, of course there are lot of lacks, which they need brush up, singing, acting... BUT I love your costumes and masks and these children, especially playing Simba, Timon, Mufasa, Nala or Zazu.
