You know what I think? I think Julie Taymor should've directed the 2019 film and have all the songs from both the original animated film and the Broadway musical and be done like a musical! I would've loved Beyonce to have sung "Shadowland"! Also work on other problems like the CGI expressions and some of the casting. Then it would've been a just as a masterpiece like the 1994 film and the broadway show.
This is a moment I will never forget. Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to see the lion king perform in the parade and now that vision has finally become a reality ❤️
What a strangely specific thing to wish for…just go see the Actual damn show where it’ll be of higher quality and where it’s originally supposed to be performed and viewed but no I wanna see it in the friggin ThAnKsGiViNg PaRaDe lmao okay 🗿
YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS YEAR WAS JUST ME AND MY MOM FOR THANKSGIVING, MAYBE NEXT YEAR IN 2023 WILL HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS MAYBE FROM OCONTO AND FROM IOWA MAYBE GUESS WILL HAVE TO SEE IN 2023
That song always gives me goosebump and brings tears to my eyes! I will never forget the amazement of seeing it on Broadway so, so many years ago!! Happy 25 years to The Lion King! And may you reign for 25 more!
The Lion King holds a real special place in my heart. It was the first ever Disney film I watched, which made me fall in love with Disney. It was also the very first musical I ever saw which made me fall in love with musicals and it happens to be the first ever musical I was in!
It’s my favorite Disney movie of all time too! I found out about the show when I was just scrolling through UA-cam on my grandmas computer (I think I was around 5 or 6 at the time so UA-cam was still very new to me back then) and the minute I saw the trailer, you could say I was obsessed. I had a few books of the show and once, I wrote to Julie Taymor when I was 8-9, and I got a signed Playbill of the cast in the mail back (it’s one of my prized possessions ❤️)
This Show is everything, for the people who haven't seen it, I hightly recomend it, even if you are not a musical theatre fan, this show is magnificent, the story telling the music, costumes and scenography are incredible you'll love it from beginning to end. 11 out of 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This performance was absolutely beautiful. I’ve seen this twice already and I could see this 1000 more times if I could. This was my first Broadway show I ever saw.
The joy and majesty of this song ALWAYS moves me to tears and gives me goosebumps! This number gives vision to the sheer joy of being alive! Seeing all the performers in such innovative costumes...I don't even want to blink because I'll miss something! BEAUTIFULLY PERFORMED!! Lion King more than deserves this historic recognition!
So sad Jason Raize the original adult Simba is not there to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Lion King. Rest in peace 🕊️ Jason Raize. Always remembered, never forgotten.
I was fine on the water works till I saw all the kids experiencing this magic for the first time 🥲 they're so excited and giddy! A whole new generation loving the same thing we all fell in love with (over) 25 years ago is just so wonderful
❤I saw this on Broadway and it was my 1st ever Show and I thought that it was incredible and So did my Friend Jennifer Noseworthy she Loved it and We had So much Fun in New York City and that was My Birthday Gift for when I turned 17yrs old . If I Could I would See it again with my Best Friend Bri but theses kinda shows cast lots of Money but are worth it. If You’ve never Been To a Broadway Musical before go see the Lion King you will Love it as Much as I did. God Bless❤
anyone else genuinely crying? I always wished I could see Lion King live. everything from the costumes to music to set is so beautiful! I love the movie but the play always seemed so beyond amazing. hence my crying whenever I see a clip like this lol
This is the musical that inspired me to do theatre myself…to see it performed again truly does make me cry…well done to all of those phenomenal actors ❤
It was such an amazing performance. I will never forget this moment. It has been a dream of mine to see The Lion King perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ever since I was a kid and that dream has finally come true.
This was the very first musical I saw and it got me hooked on Broadway and musical theater. I really wanted to see it in the parade and im glad it finally played. Although i moved onto other musicals, ill still come back to this one
I remember the Tony awards when TLK premered, watching the an entire Elephant costume walk down the isle with one performer in each *leg*, and being awestruck by costume after brilliant costume.
My children loved seeing this show in the west end too. They both said it remains one of the best live shows they have seen as they were 11 when they saw it and are adults now and have seen countless shows since.
Nothing but tears of joy so proud of my people in the motherland so proud to be black and a human being God bless all human beings on this Earth truly we are the circle of life
Wow! I have not seen this musical, enchanting!!!! The Zebra, and the elephant are so creative. Thank you for televising this performance. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas 2022
When I saw this on TV while watching the parade, I was amazed by this. I love The Lion King, and I'm going to see the Broadway show of it in January! 🦁👑

Musicals come and go, but the opening to the Lion King will always be one of the most beautiful moments
Amen to that!
YEAH ITLL BE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE THING, ABOUT THE LION 🦁 KING CAUSE THERE BIG CATS
Amen
Can we all just agree that this is the REAL Live-action Lion King?
YA THE ONE ON DISNEY IS BASICALLY JUST A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WITH A VOICEOVER 😂
1994 is the real original version
You know what I think? I think Julie Taymor should've directed the 2019 film and have all the songs from both the original animated film and the Broadway musical and be done like a musical! I would've loved Beyonce to have sung "Shadowland"! Also work on other problems like the CGI expressions and some of the casting. Then it would've been a just as a masterpiece like the 1994 film and the broadway show.
Yes! They should have stopped there.
Not sure why they didn't use the Broadway cast for the film. They are truly amazing
This is a moment I will never forget. Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to see the lion king perform in the parade and now that vision has finally become a reality ❤️
25 years later
Aww! U must b so happy! Congrats! I can't imagine what that must b like for u!
I know! I cried. This makes me so happy!
What a strangely specific thing to wish for…just go see the Actual damn show where it’ll be of higher quality and where it’s originally supposed to be performed and viewed but no I wanna see it in the friggin ThAnKsGiViNg PaRaDe lmao okay 🗿
I saw it on Broadway in 2009. As a lifelong fan of the original film, it was beautiful
Never fails to make me cry tears of joy. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
Beautiful!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS YEAR WAS JUST ME AND MY MOM FOR THANKSGIVING, MAYBE NEXT YEAR IN 2023 WILL HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS MAYBE FROM OCONTO AND FROM IOWA MAYBE GUESS WILL HAVE TO SEE IN 2023

The harmonies are amazing.
That song always gives me goosebump and brings tears to my eyes! I will never forget the amazement of seeing it on Broadway so, so many years ago!! Happy 25 years to The Lion King! And may you reign for 25 more!
Me to
I cried when I saw lion king the musical live, and I’m crying again because this is so beautiful!
The Lion King holds a real special place in my heart. It was the first ever Disney film I watched, which made me fall in love with Disney. It was also the very first musical I ever saw which made me fall in love with musicals and it happens to be the first ever musical I was in!
The Lion King, both the original classic from 1994 and the stage musical will forever be legendary.
It’s my favorite Disney movie of all time too! I found out about the show when I was just scrolling through UA-cam on my grandmas computer (I think I was around 5 or 6 at the time so UA-cam was still very new to me back then) and the minute I saw the trailer, you could say I was obsessed.

The Lion King is Disney's Magnum Opus.
@@joshmontemayor6098 100% agree
It was the first movie I saw at the cinema. It holds a special place for me too… 😊
I swear I cry EVERYTIME I hear this song!! Never in my life have I ever witnessed such true talent. ❤️
the harmonies in this song scratch all the right parts of my brain. thanks lion king
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and Happy 25 anniversary to The Lion King on Broadway.
This Show is everything, for the people who haven't seen it, I hightly recomend it, even if you are not a musical theatre fan, this show is magnificent, the story telling the music, costumes and scenography are incredible you'll love it from beginning to end. 11 out of 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was spectacular! The way they perform the animals and the singing just made me so emotional
This performance was absolutely beautiful. I’ve seen this twice already and I could see this 1000 more times if I could. This was my first Broadway show I ever saw.
Same for me too 😊
Me too!
Same here.

Brilliant I would love to see lion king.
I’ve still got the CD from 20 or so years ago. Got to see them live a few yrs back, amazing experience.
We saw this show as a Special Autism Friendly Performace with AHRC and it is still as Amazing as it came out in 97. We first saw it in 2008.
I saw this last year on Broadway. I love it got me in an African mood. Love it.

Every time I see lion king doing circle of life, it puts a big smile on my face.
Amazing!!!! Lion King is the best play
So sad Jason Raize the original adult Simba is not there to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Lion King. Rest in peace 🕊️ Jason Raize. Always remembered, never forgotten.
He lives in them and the production
I was fine on the water works till I saw all the kids experiencing this magic for the first time 🥲 they're so excited and giddy! A whole new generation loving the same thing we all fell in love with (over) 25 years ago is just so wonderful
The lion king with animation,musical broadway and the live action
I saw this play when I was younger and now I'm seeing it again soon!
Indeed World Class😊😊😊
That made me cry. It's so amazing how music can bring such nostalgia.
This was the best part of the whole parade. The Lion King performers stole the show.
❤I saw this on Broadway and it was my 1st ever Show and I thought that it was incredible and So did my Friend Jennifer Noseworthy she Loved it and We had So much Fun in New York City and that was My Birthday Gift for when I turned 17yrs old . If I Could I would See it again with my Best Friend Bri but theses kinda shows cast lots of Money but are worth it.

Me too
anyone else genuinely crying? I always wished I could see Lion King live. everything from the costumes to music to set is so beautiful! I love the movie but the play always seemed so beyond amazing. hence my crying whenever I see a clip like this lol
I was lucky to see it at my school from the musical department in the 3rd grade and although they had a tight budget they still did an amazing job
I’m late saying this but I hope you’ll eventually get that opportunity regardless of where it is
This is the musical that inspired me to do theatre myself…to see it performed again truly does make me cry…well done to all of those phenomenal actors ❤
Best ever performance in the Macy's parade! I cried watching how beautiful everyone was!!
That simba was just cute
It was such an amazing performance. I will never forget this moment. It has been a dream of mine to see The Lion King perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ever since I was a kid and that dream has finally come true.

We saw lion king on on Broadway in late July
Tsidii Le Loka will always be the best Rafiki, the original.
The costumes are stunning.
One of the best songs, ever.
Seen the lion king live in Vegas a few years ago and it’s one of the best plays/musicals I’ve ever seen.
this is so fantastic! I just wish that you would have turned the closed captions off.
I was able to see it the Wednesday before thanksgiving in Chicago, it was amazing
Best part of the parade this year
The first notes Shows why this show is The True King of All Broadway Musicals
The best part of the parade!
I saw Lion King play & it was spectacular. Everyone needs to go see it, at least once.
This was the very first musical I saw and it got me hooked on Broadway and musical theater. I really wanted to see it in the parade and im glad it finally played. Although i moved onto other musicals, ill still come back to this one
Stunning
This was my first Broadway show 16 years ago so obviously seeing this gave me goosebumps and tears in my eyes
This performance was just breathtaking 😃
Talk about pulling out all the stops!!! You guys BROUGHT IT!!! Loved this!!

This was my absolute FAVORITE moment
They killed it.
I remember the Tony awards when TLK premered, watching the an entire Elephant costume walk down the isle with one performer in each *leg*, and being awestruck by costume after brilliant costume.
PURE GENIUS!!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
I love this and I too shared tears of gratitude and love. This was an amazing performance 😍😢🎊🎉💜💜
My theater group did The Lion King Jr. this year. It was the best play I’ve been in.
What a beautiful musical performance! Thank you for sharing!
They are fabulous. I would love to see the show on stage
Beautiful!
My children loved seeing this show in the west end too. They both said it remains one of the best live shows they have seen as they were 11 when they saw it and are adults now and have seen countless shows since.
Nothing but tears of joy so proud of my people in the motherland so proud to be black and a human being God bless all human beings on this Earth truly we are the circle of life
They should have opened with this. Happy 25 years to the musical that forever has my heart!
