I would really love to see this in a theatre. 1:25 really does look like the most majestic dab ever, but whoever’s decision it was for Simba and his mother to bow to each other in affectionate reassurance and respect truly took it to a different level for me! You can see the uncertainty in his eyes before he climbs and Nick portrays it perfectly! 🦁🐱

One of the greatest plays I've ever seen in my life such a beautiful experience

Years late, but for those confused the baby lion is Kiara, not Simba, since this is the ending song. She was born at the end of the Lion King.

This movie and musical is my entire childhood,I am 16 and turning 17 in May,but I never get bored or tired of wacthing this movie or wacthing vidoes of the musical,I saw it before in Singapore and it is amazing and breath taking,just like the movie, and this movie's opening the Circle of Life inspired me to visit Africa in person and see all those beatuifle creatures,I miss Disney movies like the Lion King,cause they put such heart and soul into everything,the characters,the animation,the background but most importantly the music never gets old,I well still be wacthing this movie as an adult for sure.

I just love every video that I find about The Lion King and yes the young man plays the Lion King truly is a king and the music takes my breath away tears of joy come down everytime I hear it thank you for such a beautiful song a such marvelous actors God be with all of you

Even though I saw this show once in person, watching this video brings tears to my eyes, because out of happiness for Simba to finally claim his rightful place on the throne. The way his friends, Nala and Zazu (sorry to misspell his name) bowed to Simba. Zazu calling Simba “Your highness” made me cry a little bit more harder. As much as there are many shows I would love to see, I don’t mind watching Lion King again.

As for being Simba in Australia, I believe that's a good few years ago, before he ended up in London.

Booked 4 months ahead to get like 4 rows back.. This was the best show ive ever seen and may ever see.. Amazing show!

this simba is called nick afoa- he performed in the west end production. i met him once after a show in london in 2017, and let me say he was one of the loveliest people i’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. in my opinion he was one of the best simbas there’s ever been, i really wish i could see him perform again

Absolutely an amazing show! Have seen it twice and if it ever comes back to Australia I'll definitely be there! If you ever get the chance go see it!

It's so beautiful

It gives me chills of a flashback how I enjoyed my childhood because of the "the lion king" and I am so excited for them to come here in manila. ❤️❤️❤️

I saw this musical in this exact theatre, and it is one of the best experiences of my life

I don't know if it's the same chick who plays Rafiki at the show I saw a couple weeks ago, but she was easily the stand out of the entire cast, and that's saying a lot. Her and Zazu stole the whole thing.

This is beautiful 😍

love it! so many chills and smiles

I saw this musical in Chicago and I've gotta say it was fantastic. Adult Simba and cub Simba were excellent actors. Adult Nala and cub Nala were also excellent actors. A musical I'd highly recommend for people of all ages

This musical ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY - not because it’s sad but because it’s so damn powerful ;-;

Just hoping that someday there will be a filmed version of one of the live performances for people like myself who live in a rural community and will never have the opportunity to see it live…I couldn’t afford it even if it were playing someplace semi-locally. I was so grateful when whomever finally decided to film the original CATS on Broadway (way before the movie version with Rebel Wilson was made….which I think myself and one friend are the only fans…haha). Theatre is wonderful….but there is a whole segment of society that never gets to enjoy it…except for snippets on KZread, like this one, for which I am grateful. Thank you for posting.
