I’ve always said that the opening number of the Lion King is worth the price of admission itself. This rehearsal is so emotional. Well done!

@sundae6969 3 года назад

I went and saw this play a couple of years ago and I was so moved by the entire production. The opening definitely brought tears to my eyes. I might be the only person to say this but I saw Hamilton and was actually bored. I don't know what the hype was all about. The Lion King is 100 times better

Nants ingonyama bakithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father] Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion] Nants ingonyama bakithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Ingonyama Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer] Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard with spots come to this open place] [Chant repeats] From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done. There's far too much to take in here. More to find than can ever be found. But the sun rolling high Through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round. It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the Circle, The Circle of Life It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the Circle The Circle of Life

Even not thinking about the musical or movie I feel this song is about hope and courage. And about some kind of breakthrough. For me it serves as a beautiful reminder of what people can achieve when they work together. The harmonies in the voices and those chords progressions just move the soul. Its feels like a spiritual ceremony. Very sacred indeed... They should warn people about it actually.😅😢

Theater major here. This song has always been a masterpiece--and yes, I'm old enough to remember when the original film was in theaters--but this particular rendition hits so hard. The pandemic has brought us powerfully and painfully through all the aspects of the circle mentioned in the lyrics, and knowing that we're, gods willing, emerging into the next round, returning to our craft of the stage we love so dear, is extremely poignant. In times of great sorrow, the human soul longs for stories and storytellers, and it's an honor to provide that through an art that's been a tradition for thousands of years. Bravo to the cast and blessed be. )O(

Saw this show for the first time this week and was completely blown away by it. Loved the animated movie and watched it many times with my kids when they were young. However I was transported away to African culture during the stage show. I was fighting back tears all the way through. Somehow it transcends the story into something I can’t put into words. I felt I was being educated and entertained at the same time. Such a simple story became very deep indeed and I’ll never forget it ever. Major props to everyone who works on this show at The Lyceum 😁👍

I then took my daughter and her friends to see them for my daughter's Sweet 16th birthday when they came to San Francisco...Still amazing as ever....this time a giraffe along with the elephant came down the isles from the back of the theater as they always do and the giraffe bent down and barely almost touched their heads. They screamed with enjoyment! The girls STILL talk about it. My daughter is now 33. I want to see it live again and again!!
