I saw this cast a couple of nights ago and oh my goodness. Nick is absolutely incredible. He gives Simba such emotion and truth in his performance and the rest of the cast are outstanding too. I wanna go again. !
I just love the way Simba searches for her hand, the way he holds her, the way he looks at her...OMG...the feels, the feels....and that manly manly chest...Really wished they kissed at 1:58.....I watched this clip of Nala and Simba over and over again and never get bored.....
@@m1sh474 You telling me the live musical got it wrong from the start. The colorful faced Rafiki is a Male Mandrill. Next they'll be letting a female actor play Simba like they do with Peter Pan.
ABSOLUTELY in love with Simba. WOW. Just fantastic. His performance is phenomenal. His voice is exceptionally beautiful. And Nala is sooooo graceful and lovely! Her voice is epic!!!! Wonderful job!!!!!!
My goodness, the purity in his eyes, his emotions always on point, and living each scene as if it was his first and last time, the way he dances as a truly African and his young but regal voice... Nik Afoa will always be the one and only Simba!!
I think the reason why they did not kiss is because they wanted to mimic the movements of the animals in the movie ass well as in real life. Having them kiss is really not needed because you really feel the love in the portrayals. And they are lions, they don't express love in kisses.
Ava Brennan and Nick Afoa, the best Simba and Nala in my opinion. Their chemistry and connection is simply amazing! They compliment each other in every way and bring the spirit of Simba and Nala to life.
Der liebevolle Puschel it actually is the best version / combo / duet / however you want to put it. I’ve been binging out trying to find other videos of these 2 and only found them performing with other people and nowhere near the same chemistry on both accounts. They really do amazing together, I wouldn’t want to watch any other production without knowing that these two were playing Simba and Nala. Just incredible!
I've been looking for this for over a month but they took the video down for some reason. This is the best Simba his voice is so emotional and his facial expressions and body movements are absolutely amazing. Thank u for putting it back up.
I teared up the very first time I saw this video, because this was my first time hearing that last part of the song (replacing Timon and Puumba). It’s so pretty ❤️ The only thing stopping me from full-blown happy tears was Rafiki yelling 😅
Lyrics: Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings, the world for once, in perfect harmony.. with all its living things! Simba: So many things to tell her.. but how to make her see? The truth about my past? Impossible! She'd turn away from me... Nala: He's holding back, he's hiding.. but what, I can't decide.. Why won't he be the king I know he is.... the king I see inside! Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far! Stealing through, the night's uncertainties.. love is where we are! Nala: And if he feels the love tonight.. in the way I do... Simba: It's enough for this restless wanderer.. just to be with you..
I don't particulary like the Lion King, but I can't say no to a handsome face like that, especially if the face is also accompanied by gorgeous muscles 😂😂😂 Thanks to that I got to know and enjoy the music 💖
Technically I agree to that but Beyonce and Donald's version perfectly fits the scene in the movie. It actually got me to tears. Well anyway I grew to Lion King so regardless, all covers are great 😊✌🏻❤️
Not me crying 20 years later over Mufasa and Simba's relationship. "He lives in you" hits different when you've lost a parent as well.
@no one so so true
Reading that gave me the goosebumps 😁😁😁😁
Facts
OMG. I just saw it for the 3rd time tonight and, having lost a parent suddenly a few months ago, felt the same thing about that song.
This is what I consider the live action Lion King
Couldn’t agree more. I still refuse to go see that new atrocity
@Matilda Lochrin I still cried when simba did
@Scott Dennis meh
The thing is the remake wasn’t live action either, because it was CGI.
Amen!
The girl who plays Rafiki has an AMAZING voice
Woman
@@Rodorious1 shut up
@@Rodorious1 female
I’m still waiting for the day that this entire show gets filmed live onstage and is put in movie theaters. If anything, this show deserves that much
Then no one would see it in person.
@@miamitten1123 disagree. TOTALLY different experience.
Same here ❤
I saw this cast a couple of nights ago and oh my goodness. Nick is absolutely incredible. He gives Simba such emotion and truth in his performance and the rest of the cast are outstanding too. I wanna go again. !
Nik Afoa is part of our huge fam and all of the lionking on Brodway characters/acters all of them are part of our huge fam
Yass i agree
X hhahahaha
Y d😂
That woman who plays Rafiki deserves an award for her performance. She's SO GOOD!
I just love the way Simba searches for her hand, the way he holds her, the way he looks at her...OMG...the feels, the feels....and that manly manly chest...Really wished they kissed at 1:58.....I watched this clip of Nala and Simba over and over again and never get bored.....
I cracked up at the scene where Rafiki came out of nowhere "yiyiyiyiyiyi"
Mind can't process a female Rafiki...🙄
yessssssss
Man I couldn’t stop laughing when she said “WHERE ARE U GOIN”
@@nagwagi2000 it was always female, tho
@@m1sh474 You telling me the live musical got it wrong from the start. The colorful faced Rafiki is a Male Mandrill. Next they'll be letting a female actor play Simba like they do with Peter Pan.
Rafiki's yiyiyiyiyi is so contagious and funny to the point that both Nala and Simba cannot hold their laugh LOL!
Best Simba Ever!!!!!! His half smile at 1:43 would melt any Lioness heart!
KingOfD !!! yasssss (this a girl btw)
cuzzo this is my dad's page
Yassss
hell, it melted me as a lion ;)
NICK AFOA one the best Simba! he needs to be on broadway!
he needs to stay in the west end. the best place!!
iipurplefrost 😂
This is West End, it's better than Broadway.
And yet, Ya still gotta give the original Broadway cast some props for how they did!
Leave him where he is so we can keep enjoying him here in London! Thank you
I can't stop looking at his muscles
Me too
ay...
MEEE TOOOO!
Sounds gay...
Gay
ABSOLUTELY in love with Simba. WOW. Just fantastic. His performance is phenomenal. His voice is exceptionally beautiful.
And Nala is sooooo graceful and lovely! Her voice is epic!!!!
Wonderful job!!!!!!
My goodness, the purity in his eyes, his emotions always on point, and living each scene as if it was his first and last time, the way he dances as a truly African and his young but regal voice... Nik Afoa will always be the one and only Simba!!
Oh, this makes me miss Jason Raize. A beautiful soul, a terrible loss. I'm so glad the songs he sang continue to amaze and enthrall.
Jason raise and all the lionking on Brodway Characters/acters are part of our huge fam!

Justin Paul Mijares - Lions also lick each other to express their love. They should of licked the fuck outta one another.
@@brunomars9045 XD
Or maybe because you don't have to play tonsil hockey to let the other know you care.
@@brunomars9045 😂😂😂😂😂
People forget they are playing lions, not playing humans who happen to be dressed as lions.
2:02 her singing is beautiful, I have goosebumps
OMG That "and if..." takes me out every time.
Had the honour of watching Nick perform when the cast came to New Zealand last year! What a performance by all of them 👐
I watched him in Sydney also! Cannot forget
Everyone is outstanding, but Rafiki!!! She is just pure genius on the stage.
Ava Brennan and Nick Afoa, the best Simba and Nala in my opinion. Their chemistry and connection is simply amazing! They compliment each other in every way and bring the spirit of Simba and Nala to life.
The original cast are my favorite
Wow.. I would say this could be the best version of all I saw in UA-cam.
Der liebevolle Puschel it actually is the best version / combo / duet / however you want to put it.

These two amd Rafiki are the PERFECT cast. Best Simba, Nala and Rafiki.
There's a lot of comments about Nick and he was awesome but Ava is absolutely my favorite Nala!
Maros Blacklisted - Yes. She is the best Nala. Her and Nick Together is just Perfection.
That Simba is handsome!😎
I know right he lovely true
This is the most beautiful song in the whole world, goosebumps every time
このシンバとナラ世界でが一番好き♥️♥️♥️
2:37 they starting smile and laughing when Rafiki said yiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiy they just couldn't hold it xD
The way he smiles when rafiki came out okml
This is so much better than the live action
I've been looking for this for over a month but they took the video down for some reason. This is the best Simba his voice is so emotional and his facial expressions and body movements are absolutely amazing. Thank u for putting it back up.
I think there is one more vid like this before though… I couldn’t find it unfortunately
Damn Simba been hittin the gym.
That Simba 😱 Amazing!!!
Their expressions at 2:37 when Rafiki scream are so good 💙
Fun fact she has been doing this since 1999 so cool i love her as rafiki 🥰🥰😊
I'm really in love with Nick Afoa 😍 he's so cute.
I know he lovely 💕 sexy guy nick afoa he really lovely the guy mmm
Why are they so perfect😍always will be my favorite musical. Saw it a few years ago. I so wanna go back!

I saw this in New York...but this perfomance makes me want to go to London !!
His movements and her voice are elite
I teared up the very first time I saw this video, because this was my first time hearing that last part of the song (replacing Timon and Puumba). It’s so pretty ❤️ The only thing stopping me from full-blown happy tears was Rafiki yelling 😅
Stunning resemblance to the Original Simba, played by the late Jason Raize.
R.I.P. 🕊🥀🕊❤️
‘Where are u goin’?’
‘I’m going BACK!’
Simba IS SO HOT
Jeuz Paul Rarama lord have mercy he lovely true
He is Nick Afoa. You're welcome
박재이유스 if you say that are you nose bleeding LOL
I need a West End soundtrack of Lion King with these people!!!!!
This was just adorable. Beautiful cast of voices
Casts
Nia Holloway as Nala
Nick Afoa as Simba
Lindwe Mkhize as Rafiki
I saw the play in Mexico…Oh my God, I’ll never forget it.
God Bless You All!!! Bye!!!
physically fit, handsome, can sing and act...damn
Simply amazing,
Ava Brennan is so beautiful 😍
Omg Nick is incredible, im in love already
Iam Snoow I know I’m in love with him too nick is sexy Lion 🦁
Samoa is proud of you Nick Afoa!! Best Simba!
This simba actor is my favorite!
I have to say, I got to watch it as the local hippodrome and it was so amazing that I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the best performance ever
Nick Afoa is officially THE BEST Simba.
Nope Jason Raize was
Nick Afoa is a great actor but he can't sing in high pitch. You can barely hear him when they sing together.
Totally mesmerising Amazing performance, definitely a must see.
Think nick is the most handsomest simba
True, nick is sexy and handsome😍
thats our fam & that song Endlessnight was my life & others down here & all over the world & i am standing up for them
It is so freaking wonderful!!! can't wait to get to London and watch the actual musical:D
wow, such beautiful voices OMG!
Wow espectacular mis respetos no tengo palabras felicitaciones a todo el equipo muchas gracias por compartirlo
I love this! Me and my school are doing this it’s amazing!!💗
My Favourite Simba!
JustPlainJoel! Mine too.
Same
Amazing, thank you for sharing.
I love this play! And of course the movie versions :D
My favorite theatrical show I've ever seen in my life!!! Please come back to Anchorage AK!!!
Wow their chemistry 👌🏼💕
His smile at 2:36 ❤❤
just seen lion king in london a few weeks ago. LOVED IT. i believe it was Nick Afoa that was Simba in this one. (can recognize his voice)
Tiffani Moenssen correct! Nick is still killing it as simba in the west end!!
Beautiful voices!
Nick Afoa as Simba is fantastic, but who is the girl playing Nala? She has an amazingly beautiful voice.
I think it is Ava Brennan
Her body movement is so beautiful, so beautiful, amazing
Sorry but Jason crushes him so much more powerful like a true king
idk her name anymore but she used to play nala in germany as well
Travis Crist - Agreed, Jason’s voice just had so much power to it.
I saw them once before and they were great! was hoping to see them again but it's bittersweet to see most of the cast is now a new one.
Can we just get an album of nick afoa singing the lion king songs please?!
trust me
i just came back from london about 2 hours ago and saw him in the lyceum theatre in the lion king , he was fucking amazing
you guys knew exactly what you were doing with that thumbnail
it worked
Lyrics: Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings, the world for once, in perfect harmony.. with all its living things!
Simba: So many things to tell her.. but how to make her see? The truth about my past? Impossible! She'd turn away from me...

역시! 역시! 라이온킹 정말 감동적인 느낌이에요 최고! 최고! 최고!^^
Damn they're so good together.
I love this simba

I am glad Nick Afoa was cast. Jason Raize would’ve been proud

I saw this live in New York in 2008. Man I miss Broadway.... Inspire me to be an actor
I Love The Lion King!♥♡
I watched this on broadway it’s amazing

13 year old me was absolute gushing over this scene 🧎🏽♀️

I just came here to cleanse myself from 2019 Lion King
I refuse to watch the new one I’m still pissed they remade it
Brilliant…love it x
주인공들이 너무 매력있다😍
TopBoy brought me here!!
I saw that play in Chicago amazing...I wish I could see it agian
The actress who plays Nala looks and sounds like Nicole Scherzinger.
It's so wonderful ✨
