- A recording of the opening number of Disney THE LION KING, performed on reopening night on the 14th of September 2021 at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway.
I do not claim any ownership of this recording and will remove it when asked.
I just realized...she started as Rafiki when I was 4. I saw her when I was 8. I turned 26 last month.
Just had to let that sink in. What a feeling.
shes a living legend. Imagine being able to look at your grandkids and say "I played rafiki and I sang the intro and outro at every show" 😭
Thank you for sharing !!!
She’s been playing this role since 1999. She started as an understudy
@@ianhimmelstein5915 Yup, I was 4 haha still wild to think about
@@briannarenni I saw her in 2007 when I was 3
Everytime she starts singing the tears just flow!! OMG!
Me to
Same here !! OMG !
Me too! What is it!! Lol
Me too!
Same here. I can't stop playing the videos. It's so touching and emotional. Even the video when they first all got back together at the theater for rehearsal and she started singing.
I bet that at the first note, the tears started falling in the theater.....at how we are slowly getting back at a normal life. ☺️
I'm crying seeing they're performing again 😥 I'm happy to all the cast 😊
A few years ago (very much pre-COVID), I saw the traveling cast in Arizona when they rolled
through town. Soon as she sang the first note, the whole audience ERUPTED and Practically leapt from their seats. It was like being at a football game. Instant one note standing ovation. I can’t even image how it was after the long break.
I was there. you are absolutely correct. throughout the show !
@@markgoodloe2722 😯.........I wasn't expecting that, but.....ok.😉
Most intense goosebumps every time I hear that first note
One of the most beautiful and truthful songs EVER written. I can't help but cry everytime I hear it. Amazing. Could listen to this aaaalllllll day. Wow.
You can thank my Captain, My King, My hero, ELTON. :)
Bawling from how moving and beautiful it is every time. So happy they are back
This reminds us of our childhood. The first time we saw The Lion King. But there is so much more to it. The beauty of Africa and its legacy. The tribes and their way of life. Thank you for this
I still don't know what they're chanting/singing in the Xhosa, Zulu and Swahili languages but I know if I got to witness this beautiful Musical number live I'd never want to leave
I must be the only person on the planet who's not seen The Lion King live, I didn't care much for the cartoons - But I'd give my left leg for the chance to see this

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
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

I haven't seen it live but it's on my list to do. Hopefully this year.
Just saw it in person. It's amazing. Well worth the money
I am so happy Broadway is open again! It makes me musical heart so happy! I have been a fan of Disney since forever. I literally had tears streaming down my face while watching this!
This feels like hope
I saw this Saturday 19th March 2022 and I will never, ever forget the experience. Myself, my mother and my sister all crying at the end of the opening number. This production is just absolutely stunning.
Gives you goosebumps every time.
Saw it ten years ago in NYC with my daughter. We saw again Thursday afternoon in North Carolina, taking her three year old daughter. She sat on my lap, laughed, clapped. She knew the names of the characters. It was emotional seeing it through her eyes. She loved it, hasn’t stopped talking about it. I cried at the end. It’s an amazing musical, a must see.
The lion king is my all time favorite Disney movie of all time I got to see this last summer with my mom and it was AMAZING BEAUTIFUL AND BRILLIANT!!! I loved it I sang along to all the songs I laughed and cried at the end when Simba took a bow I screamed I LOVE YOU SIMBA 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm a Disnerd I grew up with Disney and I love all things Disney I'm 30 now and I still watch Disney I always will always love it
The ticket is worth every dollar just to see the first minute of the show.
Rafiki voice is amazing, maybe perfect person in perfect role
I was born the same year
That the Lion king came out which was 1993 and to this day it's my favorite Disney movie and I am going to see it in 2022
The Lion King came out in 1994.
This art gets me all the time
When she takes a bow to the animals I- 😭😭
