Circle of Life - The Lion King Musical 

Makes me cry EVERY. TIME. I was practically in hysterics when I saw this in person. Watching all of the puppets come down the aisles and onto the stage was a hell of an experience. Definitely going to go see it again when I get the chance.

Everytime I hear this I feel like Africa is calling me home 😊.

Why am I crying??? I imagine this song playing across the globe once this pandemic ends!!

Being part of this cast was everything to me I loved doing this show

Can I just obsess over the props/puppets for a minute.😂😂😂

This is how you do a “Live Action” Lion King. I remember seeing this at the Wharton Center, it amazed me to no end. 🤩🍸

The chord progression in this song is one of the most magical ever.

I watched and I cried. You will not regret. Do not doubt buying the tickets when they come to your area!

How to wake up a family who’s way into Disney

0:00 goosebump The woman’s voice even stronnger than my muscles

I saw this for my birthday in Edinburgh at the weekend. As someone who has wanted to see this for YEARS, and has waited it to return to Edinburgh for 7 years it was truly INCREDIBLE. It wasn’t just a musical. It was an EXPERIENCE. As the number started I couldn’t help but start crying. The amount of work that goes into a musical that has been touring for the last 22 years. The realisation that I was there, sitting in that audience watching the cast walk on stage. Knowing that one of my dreams had just come true. If you ever get the chance go see it, do it! It will be one of the best experiences you’ve spent you money on. It is worth every, single penny! Edit: saw it again in Edinburgh on Thursday and (somehow) it was even better!

Every time I watch this I'm just amazed at the actors, especially the 2 who do the giraffes.

As crazy amazing as this video is, seeing it live is indescribably powerful

0:32 WHAT A STRONG VOICE!!! My god!! That raspyness sounded so good too

This song makes me cry tears of joy EVERY FREAKING TIME. and when I saw the live musical, I WANTED TO HOWL WITH EXCITEMENT, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

I've attended this 16 times in 4 different cities (the first, being New York City). I always take others to see it. I've had my students perform it for their spring production and I've attended countless of my colleagues productions of it. As much as I love the entire play, I'm good after the opening scene. It is mind boggling each time. I've seen it from floor seats, the mezzanine, but mostly the lower balcony. In my opinion that gives you the most majestic view. Yes, I'm a bit obsessed with it.

2:16 I am dying because of the little baby elephant. So cute!!!

Seeing The Lion King on Broadway is on my bucket list.

I had tears rolling down my face both times I've been able to see this in the London West End. Even watching this clip gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes watery..

This is one of the most epic music pieces in music history. Something like an anthem. I always have tears in my eyes. What a fu..ing exquisite song

Have to say ‘Lion King’ is the best Musical I’ve ever seen. I saw it in Sydney for my 50th Birthday 16 years ago, unlike me it hasn’t aged.😁💕

My dad promised he’d take me to see this... At the age of 2... Finally got to see this at the age of 10. Worth the wait Thanks dad xxx

i saw this on one of the front rows. it shook me her voice is so powerful. ❤❤❤

I never had the chance to see them but I know myself I would cry until the end, this movie has such a special place in my heart that just hearing the songs makes me cry. No need to say how much chills I get

I hope this becomes the first musical we get back once this pandemic FINALLY ends because imagine all of us in the theatre just hearing the first note drop and crying. We deserve this.

There is something about seeing this in person that is extremely overwhelming in the most beautiful way. Tears well in my eyes every time. Before covid, the yaks during the stampede would fill the isles and "run" with the audience. Im not sure what changed this, honestly. It was one of my favorite parts of the show. You felt like you were running right beside simba. It made the experience so real. But every time they uplift him over pride rock, i bawl like a child. Still do. If you havent seen this play yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

When the animals came down the aisles I wanted to cry

Simply marvellous. ...it's my dream to see the Lion King on Broadway......it hasn't happened yet...one day I hope😯

Saw the Lion King on Broadway a couple of years ago and it was fanominal; worth every penny. Will be bringing my little munchkin soon.

I’ve seen this play twice and i cried the entire time it’s so incredible ❤

Saw this in Singapore and just bawled.

Just this scene alone makes it worth seeing.

I was never a big fan of Lion King the animated film. I mean... I liked it enough, I liked the music, but it was never a Disney movie that made we want to watch the animation again and again. I then went to go see Lion King the musical, and I thought, "NOW THIS is how it should be done. It blows the animated film out of the water." I cry everytime I see the Circle of Life opening scene. It's SO powerful.

Escuchar esta canción y ver el musical es un regalo para el mundo por parte de una cultura maravillosa, gracias Disney por tremenda obra maestra.

Saw this show the Lyceum London amazing from start to finish

That is the most UNENTHUSIASTIC audience ever! This is the only live action Lion King that should ever exist!

Seeing this number alone live is worth the ticket price. This video doesn’t do it justice since you can’t see the singers in the audience boxes and the puppets coming down the aisles right by you. It’s a beautiful, beautiful show and I’m so glad I just got to see it live.

I saw this with my grandma and it was AMAZING As well as seeing Aladdin at Disneyland and the little mermaid on broadway with my mother who has now passed Disney musicals are honestly just as great maybe even better than the original movies! Honestly some of my greatest memories!

I have no idea why but every single time and I mean EVERY, I just burst into tears and bawl my eyes out while watching and listening to this. The first time I watched it was in a theatre class and it took everything in me not to start sobbing in the middle of class, I ended up discreetly wiping my tears 😃

The vocal qualities and harmonies are amazing! So much richer than the Disney soundtrack

My daughter and I saw Lion King in NYC eight years ago. It will be coming to our area in Spring 2022. Her daughter will be 3 by then. We will be taking her, it’s such a visual treat.

When I understand this thing now it makes me feel so happy because that's such a beautiful play and the end is just as beautiful thank you thank you thank you We are all truly in the circle of life Only one creator

First saw this in London when I was about 3 or 4 years old and it's still my favourite even now at 23. This opening makes me cry every time!

Omg 😭😭 the tickets were soooo worth it!!! My daughter and I cried as soon as it started! Waiting for this again in el paso!

This makes me so happy! Literally crying from this it's beautiful!

Thank God I'm not the only one who cries watching and hearing that song.

2021 and still listening to this masterpiece having the same goosebumps and about to sob...again. 🌅

CHILLS every time. The vocal power and beauty of the score combined with the gracefulness, naturalness, and personality that is brought to each member of the animal kingdom shown in this opening number blows my mind every time.

I cried when I saw this live, it's so breathtaking!

Seen it twice. Once in Melbourne then in New York before covid came. I cried so much when I heard this. Happiness and memories flooding back. If I ever get the chance to go and see the lion king again I will

Just having the Best Memories at Middle School doing this Musical Act, I'm actually having goosebumps right now!! I just LOVE IT!!

The real definition of beauty!

This is so beautiful idk why I’m sobbing but damn

That elephant and its baby makes me cry every. Single. Time. 😍

The best musical I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing! I am a thankful 🙏🏽

Saw this about 2 years ago. It was AMAZING!!!! :)

Can't wait to watch the show in New York with my family

I've seen the stage show 5 times in 2 states, and I plan on seeing it again. 😍 I seriously will never get tired of it!!!

I have no words as the tears are strolling down my face. Emotional journey xx

I always tell people, if they're only going to see one big stage production it absolutely has to be the lion king. 10/10 production 1:22 😊

This was my first Broadway show with my sister, her husband and my late husband when I lived in Manhattan/NYC for 16 years. I fell in love with the show and the music. Back then they sold DVD's downstairs and I HAD to buy it. It was $24 and kind of out of our budget. But it was one of the best thing I ever bought. The DVD is useless now, but I still hold on to it. I've heard the entire music/songs a million times and it never gets old.

I saw the show off Broadway in 2019 and I think it was Norfolk Virginia and it’s honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life and I can’t wait to see it again

My mom took me to see this when I was around 25 and even though I grew up going to broadway shows I was in awe sitting on the isle seat with the elephants walking right past us. One of the best shows hands down

Losing moisture here watching this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Powerful AF 😍😍😍😍

Watched this live today,I don't think I'm gonna enjoy any other musical ever,this was just so grand

I saw this on tuesday in Broadway! Still emotional about it. Beautiful

Still one of the best Broadway shows I've seen! Never gets old!

This song is so POWERFUL I love it!!! ❤

I got to see the Broadway traveling version last night it was so good I started to cry when all the animals came out in the first 5 minutes

the song that made me fallen in love with african voices

it gives me chills every time... EVERY TIME

Every time I see this, I feel humanity is calling......

Watching this with my daughter. She's in love with this scene.

Saw this two years ago. Its was just life altering♥️

Personally, I think this show has far more meaning than the remake film. Not just because it's adapted with respect to the original film and with the same creative spirit and love, but because of the amazing cultural richness of the costumes and props. And how those costumes and the body puppets re so amazingly adapted to show the actors while maintaining the animal characteristics, the most amazing thing to me.

God bless Africa, it's people and their culture!

I’ve seen this magnificent musical three times here in Los Angeles and will do so again when I go to NYC in January 2022. Every time the cast enters by coming down the aisles singing in their beautiful costumes I got teary eyed. Just fabulous!

Cry every time i hear this song because of the memory of my grand Mother Who passed away from cancer you are now among the stars shining brighter then ever i will Never forget what you have teached me about life ❤️😪 miss u #nevertakelifeforgranted #lovepeopleliketheloveyou

i am crying a lot!!!! I love this song!!

I watched it when I got back home I cry 😭

Just have to say, of all the Lion King onstage recordings I've watched on RU-vid, this one shows panoramic view of the start of the show with more clarity and beauty than any other! I haven't seen another video that captures so clearly the entire lighting progression from the dark stage to the dark blue sky to the dawn, the sunrise, the shimmer of heat, the MIST rising off the ground(!!!!!) all the way through each animal's entrance. Thank you, videographer, for doing that -- it's just fantastic!!!! There's little details I caught in this recording that I hadn't noticed before, like the fact that the baby elephant (my favorite!!!) had a little bird on his head, or that the two gazelles stand like bookends on either far side of the stage, making sure the herds are gathering in an organized fashion (like bouncers, hee hee), or how sweet Mufasa and his wife are to each other as they stand on Pride Rock, nuzzling every now and then, and holding hands. Augh, I'm weepy again. ;)

My wife and me saw this in New York sat in the front when the music started and the singer started to sing it was great better than London we enjoyed the whole show would go again to see it

I saw this recently and I unfortunately had a seat under the mezzanine so I couldn’t see the top part of the stage but this was still amazing to watch and that elephant had to have like 6-8 people inside it.

I’m going to the Manchester one on the 9th this month and my friends will miss me when I’m away to see this I’m totally gonna enjoy it 100% I love the lion king so much I never saw the musical in person I only saw some of it on yt and It’s my drama topic too excitingly I love my life so much

Absolutely loved watching this! I was so fortunate to see The Lion King on Broadway in 2011. It was my first and only time I’ve flown abroad. I hope to see it again in London one day.

I used to spend holidays in London staying at my aunt's place, we didn't go to the Coliseum very often, and when we did, we always take balcony seats. But there was once, it was my birthday, she bought the upper circle tickets, it was Lion King! And I remember that when we were on the tube, she held my hands, looked into my eyes, and said she wished she had bought the stalls tickets.

Amazing costumes and talent

Best musical ever!!!🦁👑

Yes! I saw this musical twice! It was so amazing!

Every time I hear this my African pride kicks in, and I’m a Mexican.

Much much more enjoyable than the lion king 2019 remake. So much beauty. Lion King original from 1994 wouldn’t have been this iconic without this.

when i saw this on broadway as soon as this song started i was crying

Magical.

I saw this play live when it came to Richmond,Va in 2022… mannnn the gooosebumps!! Can’t put words to it.. great experience overall!

Omg this ALWAYS makes me wanna cry, brings up so many memories

I was taken as a child to this. Saw it again in NY as an adult and now I’m taking my daughter. The nostalgia is soooo real 🥹

I watched it in Broadway this past December it was amazing ❤

I wish I could watch this again live, I literally cried when I saw this in person, it was worth it

Just saw this on Saturday in London .. was absolutely blown away! So brilliantly done 😍 x

I saw this in 2019 in London, holy shit it blew my mind
