    Oh my gosh!!! I'm so surprised at their Zulu!!! Are they African American? Amazing 😆😆 and they even kikiza-ed at the end. 🇿🇦 Impressed. 💕❤️

      Thank you! Some are African American, but there are many Zulu's in this group. A large number of the singers in any Lion King Cast are South African.

      You have to understand, musical acts on NYC subways are pretty common. Broadway performances definitely aren't, but subway artists are actually pretty good. They have to be because they always ask for money at the end, which is what I suspect a lot of the passengers were expecting. Us New Yorkers also like our quiet time on the train, however short a ride it is, and hate when it's interrupted, no matter what it is. We perfected the art of pretending we're either asleep or just don't see you.
      That said, if I'd been there I would've been singing right along with them! And then pretended I was asleep, lol.

    • @msmith4767
      @msmith4767 5 років тому +63

      Mets78 thanks very much I truly agree with what you said being a New Yorker (especially how much we pay for transportation). Also I saw some people with their phones in their hands recording as well as flashes going off from some pictures being taken. I also saw some people at the end the performance give some of the performers high fives. So just because they were not "crying" doesn't mean they were ungrateful. People need to stop ASSuming (and I emphasize the word ass everyone reacts differently) they did not enjoy the performance.

      I think its the fact that people come in the train everyday and perform whether its singing, dancing or whatever that we got so used to it, so its just nothing new anymore. Some days I appreciate it but there are some days where I would prefer some peace and quiet especially when its early in the morning

      The subway is the best way of commute so you see a lot of random things and get used to it eventually especially if you live or grow up there

      Mikelangelo the only ones enjoying this hot mess was the performers. The riders just looked boated by this iffy performance. Would not make me want to spend $$$$ a seat to go.
