THE LION KING Broadway Cast Takes Over NYC Subway and Sings 'Circle Of Life' 

Thank you! Some are African American, but there are many Zulu's in this group. A large number of the singers in any Lion King Cast are South African.

Africa is life

Beautiful!

@@jleeharris4569 I love it! This makes me so proud of my country 🇿🇦. Thanks so much for sharing. 🖤🤎❤️

Would really enjoy more clips focusing on the music and African culture,especially South Africa, my great great grandmother's origin.

This happens daily

@@LemoniDrop Does it?

@@katelynlittleton4510 yes

@@LemoniDrop Wow

j m You’re so right. I would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb. Shocked, happy, smiling and all. 🤣

Your last line cracked me up.

Oh Lord😂😂🤦

They'd live the rest of their life thinking that the thing that happens in musicals where everyone starts signing and dancing actually happens regularly in America.

I took the A Train from JFK to Manhattan and there were a group of rappers on the train. I loved it!!! This never happens in California.

Alison Vega IKR?😅

Imagine that right in your ear.💩

Yes!❤🎉

For her this is nothing. She has to fill a theatre with her voice.

Not!!!

Word

Seeing it live on stage this song brought me to tears just streaming down my face.

I cry every time with that song

So so true!

I can't listen without crying. Love it! 💜

At five years old, this was the first ever movie that I saw in a theatre. This song was the first thing I heard when the movie started.

I was 12 when this came out, and I have the same love and nostalgia for it. This is the Disney movie of our generation, not to mention arguably the best Disney movie ever. When I hear that first note, it's like, "All 90's kids, please rise for your pledge of allegiance."

Exactly what I was thinking 😂

Lol welcome to New York

I was walking down the street on the west side and this guy was walking in the opposite direction yelling at people "Can't you move faster! Yall bunch of lazy fuckers!". Thats a good ol' New York attitude.

Megan Quan Same in London... mad things happen too often to get hyped... although I think I'd have made an exception for this on the tube.

They worry a donation collector will come round with a cup...you get that sometimes in nyc.

Mallory R having lived in new york that stuff sometimes just upsets you... it happens so much there

Mallory R having lived in new york that stuff sometimes just upsets you... it happens so much there

right . some people are so damn miserable

I would cry and dance like a crazy girl 😂😂😂

Perhaps but before you judge them just think they might be deaf!

Rick Cruz i snorted

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.

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.

Underrated as hell

True 😂

😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂

*they’re

@@LifeAsMegan why correct someone in youtube comments?

Jonathon Dawes Why not?

They were not singing for applause - did you see their faces? They were just having fun and doing what they loved to do. And I am betting the adjacent cars heard them, and enjoyed it - benefit to living in NYC.

They deserve it though!!

drunkballerina89 mega shout out

At what point was this?

Lol if he took his phone out he could enjoy it multiple times in the future

@@jaylynnnarans around 0:38. Guy with the blue button up

I would follow them get off their stop 😊

i would say shut the hell up and get OFF at the next stop lol

Facts

Me too

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

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

You can't expect everyone else to be in a good enough mood to enjoy this. People probably coming home from a stressful day at work tired and over it. Maybe someone's family member just died... maybe someone just had bad news from the doctor. Its ok if people don't want to get involved.

Living in New York you kind of grow tired of stuff like this when you’re trying to do you daily routine and it honestly gets a little annoying if you’re having a bad day so I don’t expect everyone to be in a good mood from this even tho I would’ve been put in a better mood

Gabriella Tatiannai know right lion king on broadway is everything. Deff worth it.

For free!!, right?

Robert Sossi lol um no, I have no idea what you’re talking about, I would be trying to join in or just straight up awestruck & immobilized. 😂Trust me, if I were to ever be lucky enough to witness this... shitting myself would be the very very VERRRY LAST thing on my mind. 💩🙅‍♀️ < 😻👍 And BTW, they weren’t all black. Js.

Convenient

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 RU-vid recommendations

Carlton I. Huh? Youre saying it like we werent supposed to be recommended this now, because its not the exact time it was uploaded. You said exactly what I responded to.

Not in Gb Dude chill, it was a joke

Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

I’m just glad that there wasn’t an important subway announcement being made while they were singing

Don't use God's name in vain please brother 🙏✝️❤️

@@darioclb1363 dude, it was just a joke, chill

• Sweetest Sowfeeyah • I would because I would let it play a couple times before getting up

I was at camp and my camp counselor's alarm was this song 😂😂

BIG BRAIIINNN

Tried making Circle of Life my alarm tone. It just pissed off my roommate. HA!

Early for work ,but a nervous wreck.

DreBoogie 313 Yes, FBI? I have an arsonist here by the name of DreBoogie. What now? You already know? Oh, okay...

The movie was trash..

Right

They’re broadway performers...

Practice and practiced timing.

Broadway for you. Real talent.

"next to" is entirely superfluous in that sentence

While playing candy crush on his phone LOL

Franswa Bess I was like yesssssir sang

Where?

Marzipan Cat I’m guessing 0:52!

Francois Bessing and sitting down too

Usually happens on the Lexington Ave lines(read 4,5,6). The beggars show up on the west side and crosstown lines(read 1,2,3, N,R, Q).

Or try the Stardust Diner on 50th at 7th Ave. All the waitstaff are trying to get onto Broadway, and have shows every 20 mins or so.

Same! I was in Manhatten 2 years and nothing exciting on the subway.

They wait until you leave. No I'm serious. It's a conspiracy & everyone's in on it.👀 Damnit, now I'm banned. Everyone knows all of the best shows happen on the subway😌. Wtf do I do now for all of my art & culture?😟 What do you do? 🤔

Because there's thousands of trains in NYC?

Liyabuya Gongo Aww... I was crying too Liyabuya.

@liyabuya gongo -You and me both! Am sitting here asking myself why am I such a big crybaby. Lol

Crying my eyes out just watching it. I love this kind of stuff. Humanity needs more!

진주 공주 'Princess Pearl' likewise

Me too 😭

William Rice underrated comments

Lmfao i would believe it was the demons from hell

Im literally crying

@@melu0o haha so funny😂😂😂best answer ever

krisisnkaos Same

theyre all on their way to/from work. their brains have shut down.

Im a New yorker and stuff like this happens in the train a lot, like dancers or musicians just randomly getting on and doing their thing, so people are used to it. That's why they're not acting too excited. But a lot of people are still impressed though, they just don't show it

D. Alexa ,seriously are they make u unhappy or give u energy?

Same. If I was on that train I would have done that to and I would have also sing along then the person right next to me would be like "Are you part of this? Me in my head in my dreams but no but outside of my mouth I would have said Yeah duh of course. LOL

Amber A. Thompson i know

Acting

I think he misjudged the acoustics in that car.

Serious ignorance if that's the case.

+Erin Maurer lol

I know the movie but I didn't watch it as a child and now I'm to old for cartoons. Fuck me, right?

SirGeforce Re-read my comment lol. Besides I was kinda joking about it.

Who wouldn’t know man

Omg you were there?

Daniel Robison Shutup

@@danielrobison9440 😂

But... why?.... why do you smell like beef?

Daniel Robison lmao

MAN! such power & control! She got some pipes on her

Its her hold a book like she's doing this practically in her sleep with no effort for me. I will say though if I'd been standing beside her n didn't know she was going to do that I may have possibly hurt her when she frightened the crap out of me. I'd need a change of clothes, an ambulance n something that says im so sorry, it was a reflex and ur incredibly talented.

I believe she played rafiki the medicine monkey with the red dust. He put on Simba's forehead when he was a cub.

she didn't hold the notes long enough like in the original

Yeah! 🤩🤩🤩

Same

bts blackpink Same

ㅋㅋ. Same. And btw

Same ksksksk

Me too!!

lmao that would've been a good prank 😂

she has the power to carry the whole performance by herself

I would cry😭

Tf lol...XDXD

too funny just by imagining it 😂😂😂

Clorox Bleach you're everywhere

Same here 😂

Me too, literally.

Clorox Bleach lol me too... I would have jumped first lol but I would be crying and smiling that song always got to me

Clorox Bleach typical day at NYCsybway

I saw them. They were just too cute.

I had assumed they were young Nala actresses :P

They were :p

Crying 😭

@@Cassxowary No less adorable mind you! Such tinies.

Right?

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

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

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.
