Doesn't matter how many times I hear the intro, I get serious chills. Have to see the entire production again!
Ach ja der könig der löwen musical immer wieder
Wunderschönes Lied von the lion King
Diese musical ist ein schönes musical den ich kenne
This musical always makes me cry, without fail.
When I saw it live I was crying in circle of life
I'm not crying 😭😭 you're crying 💜♥️
Me too super beautiful!
original of this song is better than the new version
@@dreamyfairyytale6210 🤣🤣
WHY AM I CRYING?!? I have listened to this song a thousand times, but seeing them performing it around the city I was crying the entire time!
To be honest I cry whenever I listen to this song and now it’s even more crying haha.
omg Same!
Me too!!!!
I was just going to say the same thing! I’m watching this and crying … All I wanted to do was see what the show is like, because I was thinking of going to it when I visit the city in a couple weeks. Good grief!
Me too I always cry
No matter how it’s performed, this opening act to the Lion King always feels exhilarating! 👑
This was beautiful and well-put-together editing. From African jungle to the Concrete Jungle
liquid church
Well said! I loved the Statue of Liberty scene!
Preach Sista
Anyone else cry through the entire performance? It felt like a weight being lifted
All is right in the world again ❤️
Amen
This is one of the most visually astounding plays ever. It’s so amazing how the animal heads and the people wearing animal outfits and all the garb just works. Who ever dreamed up the costuming is a genius.
Julie Taymore. She won the Tony Awards for best costume design in 1998 for what she did.
@@halfthefiber the word genius doesn’t do her justice 🙌🏽
Edit/Add = I was a costume design major in 2004 and she + her designs were almost a course on their own!
Watching this on my phone screen gave me the goosebumps, I can’t imagine what it would be like in person.
@Jane S Please do Imagine...all begins from imagination
it’s awesome in person!!!
You will be overwhelmed with emotion, the power of the singing moves you. I saw it in person and it was pure glory, don't miss out on it
It was overwhelming and powerful in person. I took my two daughters and my mom, it was astounding and magnificent. If you ever have the opportunity to see it in person please do. It's such a beautiful memory to last a lifetime.
I love The Lion King would like to see this performance live one of these days
My bro saw it, said it was something special.
As amazing as it looks and sounds, no video will ever do a live performance justice
It’s incredible, made me cry
It’s definitely worth it. The pageantry is just beautiful
I took my gf to see it a couple weeks ago when I proposed in NYC it was magic
The costume is Magnificent and the music is so lovely.
This is a damned good show. I’ve seen it twice and can’t wait to see it again with my grandchildren.
Agree!
Agreed, my jaw was on the floor the whole time.
you won’t be disappointed! It’s one of the best musicals of all time in my opinions
I saw this on broadway several years ago - the costumes, the singing, the set etc..it’s all phenomenal!
I was fortunate enough to see it three times! I saw it once in New York when I was 10 and twice when it came to my town at ages 12 and 16 respectively!
It’s my favorite Disney movie/Broadway musical ever!
My husband and I are visiting New York for the first time ever next month and we got tickets to see this amazing Broadway show! So excited!!!
Wow, that IS amazing! 🥳🥰
You guys are going to have so much fun!
The sad part is that they only remember us when we sing, after this song they forget about us. We’re a beautiful and talented nation indeed!
If you live in America!!! You have to make it a goal to see this show!! Definitely a Bucket List experience!. Even this little snippet brings you to tears.
It's all over the world, and they have one team that travels from city to city. I saw it twice when it came to Edmonton, Canada. I really hope to see it again :)
I saw three times (twice when it came to my town and once in NYC when I was 10) and it’s amazing! I hope I can see it again soon!
Petition to have Lion King perform in this year's Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!
UPDATE: Sadly, it didn't happen in the 2021 parade, but petition to have Lion King perform in the 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
2nd UPDATE: IT’S HAPPENING!!!! The Lion King is performing in this years Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary!
3rd UPDATE: Well, as of yesterday, my childhood visions have finally come true and for that, I will forever be grateful 🦁🥹❤️
Yess!!!!!
Hell yes
Yes!!!!
This is such a beautiful musical. My husband took me on a date night to see it and it was amazing. The beginning with the circle of life brought tears to my eyes. Everything is amazing, with costumes, scenery and music, this show is great for all. It definitely is a must see.
The Lion King "Circle of Life" performance moved me to tears. I could not understand what in the world was wrong with me until I read others experienced the same emotion. I initially saw the performances of "Circle of Life", on Late Night TV and also on the "2022", Thanksgiving Day Parade. I plan to see the Broadway Production this year. Thanks to all involved.
I saw the musical 3 times in the early 2000's. I saw them once in LA and twice in San Francisco. With the original cast each time and the original and amazing Rafiki every time as well. One of the times was with my autistic daughter and her friends for her Sweet 16th birthday.They perform in smaller theaters to give the audience the BEST experience and to benefit the theatres themselves which I fully support. When the life sized elephant and giraffe came trodding from the back of the theater through the audience, I grabbed my heart as it moved me so. My daughter and her friends LOVED IT! There were tears everywhere. They STILL talk about it. She's now 33.I'm awestruck each time I see this performed as I go back to how I felt then! IF you are reading this and you haven't seen it, I urge you to try to see at least once performance. It will change you and stay with you forever!
The Zulu/Xhosa language is so beautiful.
Beautiful & powerful language (and this from a white skin girl). Would Love to see this ! Gorgeous, sound, movement & costumes. So beautifully conceived
I really wasn’t expecting the clicks to be so accurate but it was just amazing
We flew from Scotland to New York last year and saw this! Without a doubt the greatest show on broadway ever
Working on a playlist for a student this morning and this gift popped up in my feed. The tears are still flowing - this is such a powerful show.
No matter how old i get, it still gives me chills. Im old asf now and still love it.
I’m not crying….YOU’RE crying!
I love how it started in a roof
What beautiful reintroduction to post-Covid Broadway 🙌🏽.
Seeing this live in early June 2022 was a dream come true. It was amazing. I will definitely see it if I get the chance again.
I've seen this twice and I could LITERALLY see this a hundred more and never get sick of it....such incredible talent....the costumes, makeup, the actors...everything was so amazing. I still give props to the giraffes.
Those aerial shots of Rafiki 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It saddens me that I can only hit the 'Like' button once....I have watched this performance at least 100 times, and still can't get enough ( I get teary-eyed every time) I mean, the Giraffes & Elephants... are you kidding me?!!1 SO profoundly beautiful, I can hardly stand it!!💞💕
Beautiful and powerful voices!
Lion King is one of the best on Broadway 🎭
This just makes me cry every time. Such a beautiful and moving song!
I prefer the live-action Lion King.
I said the _real_ live-action Lion King.
PERFECTION.
Lion King Broadway is amazing. I saw it 20 years ago.
I've seen this live numerous times at the Fox Theater while working the show and it gives me chills every time.
The building that the actress playing Rafiki was standing on at first looked a great deal like Pride Rock. That particular shot gave me the chills. (5/24/2024)
Saw this two nights ago for my birthday, at Minskoff Theatre. Absolute dream come true, and this opening number made me tear up! Everything from the acting, to the singing, dancing, costumes, and storytelling are so perfect in this production! Can't wait to go back and see it again!
In 2003 in Charlotte NC I saw the Lion King for the first time and fell in love with the show. I would go to work on Monday and book airline tickets to go see it in NYC and London the following year. 27 performances later it still takes my breath away. Next year for my 57th birthday were going to Columbia SC to see it and I can not think of a better show to have my boyfriend experience as his first Broadway show.
The Lion King back on the Broadway stage we also missed you nice to see all the shows back on stage.
This is the first Broadway show I saw and would love to see it again.
Saw the musical many years ago at the Lyceum in London. Never expected to get this emotional from this intro number but it did. Tears started streaming from my eyes as soon as they started singing. It was so beautiful and magnificent. Love how they put together this one in our modern world. ❤️
I live in California but I think I’d fly to NYC to see this show
Please bring me to New York to witness these amazing bunch of people.
They Cannot Start Again Without THE KING!!!!!!!
Wow this is beautiful and I have chills. Can't imagine what it's like seeing this show and can't imagine what the atmosphere feels like seeing this show in person.
It came to my city on tour once. It was absolutely amazing. The drum beat corses through you and you feel like crying. At the closing note everyone explodes with applause.
@@missybarbour6885 Sounds amazing! And I've heard nothing but great things about this show.
it’s awesome! I was able to see it three times and let me tell you, the atmosphere is amazing!
I cried in circle of life that's how moving it is
It’s like nothing else. If I had to choose only one show to limit myself to forever, I’d pick this one.
No one has ever seen it performed like this!
Best version I've ever heard of this song. Awesomely talented people.
I 1000/10 recommend seeing this show on Broadway. I saw this show in 2013 and it’s hands down my favorite of all time
😭😭😭😭😭😭
BROADWAY IS BACK
Whoa! Was not expecting that. Absolutely amazing, can't even imagine how amazing on stage this would be! I hope to see it one day on Broadway! 🥰
I’ve seen it twice years ago and it was amazing
You'll cry like a newborn baby...you have to experience it live! It was truly greatness! Trust me...and come back here and tell me!
@@So_Sag I took my two daughters and my mom 2019 in Miami. I cried so many times. They did a phenomenal job.
Took my best friend to her first Broadway show and she was so emotional seeing it. She was slapping the mess out of my shoulder because she was so amazed at how it was
I've watched The Lion King 4 times, in different places. And it never fails to amaze me! This made me tear up - again! Bravo! 😍🤩🥳
Forever the best musical adaptation of a Disney animated classic film.
I cried the first time I heard this live when they did a series of shows in Manila.
The character of Rafiki singing on 1WTC was perfect...the circle of life continues
Thank you to the cast of the lion King for putting on a spectacular reopening of this amazing story. Just stunning beyond imagination. Thank you Renee Florida..
That's one very cute Simba 🙈
I watch every single one of these videos
Stunning. When I saw this live in the theater I started crying after this opening number because it is so powerful in that theater. Really magnificent show.
Wow, can’t imagine watching it live 🥺🥰
I think the 21st century needs more of these street perfomances. I would pay to watch a show like this outside.
Sorry but why am I crying at literally just a video of them?
This is the king of shows
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, Nothing compares to " The lion king" I get goose bumps and emotional every time!!
was enjoying this spectacular performance by the Lion King cast and did a double take towards the end- BTS Samsung advertisement in the background distracted me for abit hahaha
Seen this twice already. Going to take my 11 year old daughter to see it now that it’s back on Broadway.
This felt like a love letter to New York ❤
1:07-1:20 part of the song always gives me the chills
Come to Africa:p
Africa isn't a country btw
I can’t stop watching to see the puppeteers! Little shop is awesome too!
This just makes me smile from ear to ear
Saw this performance in london amazing…
As a NYer born an raised BK I love it..I support Broadway, but nobody does it like Lebo M
Amazing camera shot from Edge!
30 Hudson yards!
One day im gonna watch this live. Hopefully soon!
Why am I crying 😭
Fantastic! Having only watched it from a far seat at a West End production decades ago, finally here we get to see in close up the intricate details and beauty of the puppetry, costumes and make up of each character and creature here!
Instant shivers.
0:02:15 in dedication to: Sam E. Wright And Suzanne Pleshette
This musical is the most magical one i've ever seen!
I’m going to see it in New York for the first time!! I’ve seen it many times but never in New York soooo pumped!!
How I wish I could see it live! Beautiful guys! 🤩🤩🤩
I have seen this show three times and this opening still gets me. Oh what I give to see this show again
Always cry hearing this song. Without a fail 🥲
These costumes are so powerful and profound. Beautiful!! 🦋
One of the best musicals!
This performance always gives me goose bumps!!
I know I'm going to cry when I see my 1st show
Beautiful people with beautiful smiles
I miss live theatre SO much! I've been binging all of the Reopening Night videos & I'm crying at every single one of them!
Me too!!!
Amazing! Had the fortune of seeing it live at the Pantages theater. Hope to see it again one day.
I remember 15 years ago I saw this as my 1st Broadway show and I just got goosebumps watching this
Nothing like a great song , performed by amazing singers, along with some spectacular NYC scenes to make it better.
This gave me chills
Chills EVERYtime I see this🥰❤️❤️❤️😘🌈🙌🏽🏆💐🏆💐
Damn this clip, it made me cry!
THE LION KING LIIIIVES!
(Black Panther Wakanda Forever reference)
All cast is highly talented
Absolutely beautiful production and magical cast.
This song live always gives me goosebumps! Love ❤
Any version of this song and performance is always a good watch.
I want them to come back to Spokane so much. I saw them in 2018 and it’s still the best performance I’ve ever seen and I don’t see it ever being topped
