@@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.
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.....
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.
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!!!!!!
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..
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 😊✌🏻❤️
Wonderful Internationally famous stage musical. I wish I could write and produce an original one like this about my country - the Philippines. May our Divine Father God Almighty help me.

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
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 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!
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
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 ❤

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😂
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 ;)
2:02 her singing is beautiful, I have goosebumps
OMG That "and if..." takes me out every time.
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.....
That Simba is handsome!😎
I know right he lovely true
2:37 they starting smile and laughing when Rafiki said yiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiy they just couldn't hold it xD
That woman who plays Rafiki deserves an award for her performance. She's SO GOOD!
These two amd Rafiki are the PERFECT cast. Best Simba, Nala and Rafiki.

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.
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!!!!!!
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
Everyone is outstanding, but Rafiki!!! She is just pure genius on the stage.
2:36 My friend when she ships People
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆👏
Me too🤣
hahaha
Me too for my every non canon ships :"))
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!
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.
Wow.. I would say this could be the best version of all I saw in TH-cam.

The way he smiles when rafiki came out okml
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
Damn Simba been hittin the gym.
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
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.
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 🥰🥰😊
このシンバとナラ世界でが一番好き♥️♥️♥️
That Simba 😱 Amazing!!!
The expressions on her face are amazing!!
She is totally amazing! as Nala and as Ava! :)
This is the most beautiful song in the whole world, goosebumps every time
Casts
Nia Holloway as Nala
Nick Afoa as Simba
Lindwe Mkhize as Rafiki
I need a West End soundtrack of Lion King with these people!!!!!
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
My Favourite Simba!
JustPlainJoel! Mine too.
Same
Can we just get an album of nick afoa singing the lion king songs please?!

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

Samoa is proud of you Nick Afoa!! Best Simba!
This is so much better than the live action
His movements and her voice are elite
Simply amazing,
Ava Brennan is so beautiful 😍
I saw the play in Mexico…Oh my God, I’ll never forget it.
God Bless You All!!! Bye!!!
Omg Nick is incredible, im in love already
Iam Snoow I know I’m in love with him too nick is sexy Lion 🦁
Think nick is the most handsomest simba
True, nick is sexy and handsome😍
This simba actor is my favorite!
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 😅
I dont understand how I just felt. It's damn beautiful. It is as if I'm watching a movie. Wow. *cries in rafiki voice*
Why are they so perfect😍always will be my favorite musical. Saw it a few years ago. I so wanna go back!
Oh that chest.
Jeremih Litao he lovely ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕true
I saw this in New York...but this perfomance makes me want to go to London !!
This was just adorable. Beautiful cast of voices
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.
physically fit, handsome, can sing and act...damn
Totally mesmerising Amazing performance, definitely a must see.
I love this simba
Justice 31 do you know his name??
@@youai222 Nick Afoa
Wow their chemistry 👌🏼💕
wow, such beautiful voices OMG!
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!!
My favorite theatrical show I've ever seen in my life!!! Please come back to Anchorage AK!!!
thats our fam & that song Endlessnight was my life & others down here & all over the world & i am standing up for them
His smile at 2:36 ❤❤
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
It is so freaking wonderful!!! can't wait to get to London and watch the actual musical:D
I love this play! And of course the movie versions :D
Beautiful voices!

Wow espectacular mis respetos no tengo palabras felicitaciones a todo el equipo muchas gracias por compartirlo
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.
I love this! Me and my school are doing this it’s amazing!!💗
역시! 역시! 라이온킹 정말 감동적인 느낌이에요 최고! 최고! 최고!^^

FACTs
It sucks that you’re right
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 😊✌🏻❤️
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
Beautiful performance you go uso
Damn they're so good together.
What a powerful voice!!!!!
Simba 😍😍😍😍
this song always get me
Watching this and hearing is making me feel single😩, but I love it ❤
Amazing, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful Internationally famous stage musical. I wish I could write and produce an original one like this about my country - the Philippines. May our Divine Father God Almighty help me.
