      When I was about 7-8 years old my late grandmother (who was my mother figure since my mother left me) bought tickets for her and I to go see this in NY. I Absolutely love this play and every time I watch videos of this play I can't help but tear up because I know she will always be with me in the great circle of life. ❤

    More to find than can ever be found

    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

      tell me once you know what you got , I was Mufasa :D I tend to be a male instead of a female since my theatres are very small.

      My school does it but it is three different grades and a lot of people audition. I wanted to be a lead because it is my last year to be in our middle school play and then I go off to high school. I got the part of Sarabi, Simba's mother. I'm happy with it but I wish I had more lines and maybe a solo. Oh well! It is still going to be so much fun. Congratulations on being Mufasa, that part is a lot of work so you must be very dedicated.

      it was fun, and i can tell you sarabi is actually one of the most important roles, even if i doesnt seem like it. good luck ^_^

    I just saw this today as my first Broadway show ever. Cried six times. Twice in the first number. Only complaint was that I couldn't understand the hyenas when they sang live. Everything else was spectacular

    I can’t believe that not only has this show been running for 25 years now, but this song made an appearance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year.

    We are doing this play at our school and I was really excited,because I wanted to try out for either Rafiki or young Simba. I was too scared to try out though. However, I missed the bus one day and I was stuck in the auditorium so I started singing this. Next thing I know they want me to be in the play as Rafiki,because of my strong voice.

    I first read about the Broadway adaptation via a Weekly Reader article I remember reading about when I was nine, which was when it just entered the scene. I instantaneously thought of that memory when I sat through such a performance at Proctor’s Theater in Schenectady, New York that took place in February of 2011 when I was attending college at SUNY Adirondack, which I currently reside roughly four kilometers away from.

    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 is 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
    [RAFIKI AND ENSEMBLE]
    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
