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.
Africa is life
Beautiful!
@@jleeharris4569 I love it! This makes me so proud of my country 🇿🇦. Thanks so much for sharing.
🖤🤎❤️
Would really enjoy more clips focusing on the music and African culture,especially South Africa, my great great grandmother's origin.
Tourists: This is amazing!
New Yorkers: Oh God, not this again
Lmfaooo
XD
Yooooo this comment right here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
More like this...
New Yorkers: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"
Can you imagine the tourists who are riding the subway the first time just to ride it. Looking around trying to figure out if this is normal. "No one told me I needed to know all the words to the lion king"
Your last line cracked me up.
Oh Lord😂😂🤦
They'd live the rest of their life thinking that the thing that happens in musicals where everyone starts signing and dancing actually happens regularly in America.
I took the A Train from JFK to Manhattan and there were a group of rappers on the train. I loved it!!! This never happens in California.
Alison Vega IKR?😅
Can we just appreciate the vocal powerhouse that the main woman is. She is insane
Imagine that right in your ear.💩
Yes!❤🎉
For her this is nothing. She has to fill a theatre with her voice.
Not!!!
Even a cast member jumped at that first note.😂😂and he knew it was coming.
no one:
not even god:
random lady on the subway: àáäāÅÂÃĀÀ
😂😂😂
Best Comment EVER!!! ROTFLMAO
I choked on my cookie laughing💀💀this comment sent meee😂😂😂
zoey Swedish Screeching?
*AAAAS in different languages*
The passengers are so calm I would lose my fucking shit
Look at the kids at 2:49
They are part of this, that's why
+Just Like An Hurricane they are actually a part of the cast..
Right?! ❤️
i would have started crying. LOL i adoorrrrreeeeee this play.
Even after almost 30 (geez) years, this song STILL hits you in feels. ALL THE FEELS.
Seeing it live on stage this song brought me to tears just streaming down my face.
I cry every time with that song
So so true!
I can't listen without crying. Love it! 💜
At five years old, this was the first ever movie that I saw in a theatre. This song was the first thing I heard when the movie started.
As a 90’s child and the movie coming out when I was 9 years old this just took me back and was complete nostalgia. This would have been amazing to witness! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was 12 when this came out, and I have the same love and nostalgia for it. This is the Disney movie of our generation, not to mention arguably the best Disney movie ever. When I hear that first note, it's like, "All 90's kids, please rise for your pledge of allegiance."
Train conductor is probably like "FUCK what's going on back there...did a lion get on the train or something?"
+KanaTokisho hilaruousssZzzzzzzzzz
Lollll
+KanaTokisho Well it is the lion king cast
ahahahaha..
KanaTokisho thanks for making me laugh today lmao
i’d be scared shitless if i was just chillin there then i heard the first note
Exactly ma thought
The lady with the bun and the lady sitting right next to her both were startled when she first started, I agree😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got scared enough and I knew it was coming! I would've thought she had gone mad or that she was reading a religious book and was getting really excited about praying!
It’s great that they are giving some people the opportunity to enjoy a song from a show that they may not be able to afford to go to. Beautiful! 🥰🤩😍
The people who look bored are people who don’t have appreciation for music and the talents behind it all. This was so amazing! I live out west in Wyoming and we would never get to experience something like this in a million years! Well done cast…..well done!!
It’s just NYC 😂
i dont think they were bored just didnt know how to react, its definitely better to ehar than chatter they prob didnt know where to look
I mean you just got Internet about two years ago based on the date of this post ….
They aren’t obligated to give a shit
Good grief! That woman in the black dress has a serious set of lungs! Loved it!
American Akita and an even better set of
Donald Trump of what......??
tiddies
American Akita 🤣 😂

"All around the world, people would call this, incredible... In New York, they call it, Tuesday" 😁😁😁

That’s a fact from nyc born and raised 🤣🤣🤣
@@qranix 😁😁😁
Tru so tru lol
LoveofVelvet are we tho are we lmfao
It's crazy the talent that shows up on subways
This group is the real thing too
❤
how amazingly powerful! this song never fails to have me in tears. I was in the musical almost 20 years ago in Hamburg, Germany and this opening scene and the song was the first piece of music to ever have me in tears. Absolutely beautiful!
Imagine the first one sing and the others just keep quiet😂😂well that will be awkward.
Literally my biggest fear
Dude ikr- I was just thinking right after she just yelled loudly that everyone would be like; "Nah we ain't doing it-"
😂😂😂
I feel honored to be your 666th like
Bahaaha
Bruh imagine someone was sleeping when they performed this🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ms. MC sksskks my reaction would be your profile pic 🌚
😂😂😂
jamais vu Looks normal to me lol
I was thinking the same thing💀
A true ny’er would sleep thru this 😂
I'll never not have tears flowing down my face hearing this awesome song. Performed by whichever cast it maybe, London, Broadway, UK Tour, Wherever.
8 years later and this STILL triggers the waterworks for me!
You can make out the locals. They're the ones with the look on their face like "I'm so done with this city".
This happens daily
@@LemoniDrop Does it?
@@katelynlittleton4510 yes
@@LemoniDrop Wow
j m You’re so right. I would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb. Shocked, happy, smiling and all. 🤣
I would just start yelling sounds and pretend I was in the show 🧐
TLMidnight 08 looool your hilarious
i can literally HEAR your profile picture
i’ll do the same thing lol
same
BRILLIANT🤗!!! People do that to most songs they 'love' anyways.
It got me really emotional... and at lunch time... I cried on my meal 😅 This was insanely beautiful! 👏👏👏👏
Have seen the show in person via Broadway Across America. Without question, the most moving, emotional show I've ever see. And this song STILL makes me cry!
New Yorkers just sitting there like......Can’t I just have an uneventful subway ride to work.
Exactly what I was thinking 😂
Lol welcome to New York
I was walking down the street on the west side and this guy was walking in the opposite direction yelling at people "Can't you move faster! Yall bunch of lazy fuckers!". Thats a good ol' New York attitude.
girl, for real. i woulda got up and walked to the next car. foh
Or too busy with their phones to notice...lolz
That's so cool of them to do. They basically gave a free Broadway show on the subway. Not sure why people looked bored though lol.
It's a code on the subways. Impassive face. No matter what goes down in front of you gotta maintain 😆
Sometimes it’s been a long day and the last thing you want is being trapped in a space with no peace and quiet
That is no where near a free broad way show lmao
@@gtoykeeper true true
If i want a show ill buy a ticket.
This is why I love NY! So much talent walking around. You never know who you'll see or meet. So beautiful.
This is one of my most favorite songs! I was working teaching teen parents about infant care and this song always went through my head when a new baby was born! I love this cast and the joy in this song. I searched for similar songs but couldn't find any. Thank you.
Teacher: no talking
Kids in the back:
Underrated as hell
True 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Who else now wants to enter in a metro and just randomly scream the first note?!
Selyna Bogino I tried it .........then got arrested 😟
I would love to see a mediocre version of this with bunch of drunk tone deaf people
Definitely 😂
Lmao
@@MrWeareone777 OMG fr? Im rooling rn😂
No matter where this song is sung from these amazing performers. It gives me chills every time i hear it and takes my breathe away. My ulitmate favorite disney song ever. These guys nail it every freaking time absolutely love it.
Bumped onto this, 8 yrs since it's been posted, and it really gave me goosebumps ❤
The locals look to bored. I would have started bawling like an idiot.
Galaxy Rhen
in berlin the people would kill you for being annoyed to this lel.
Danny Behm hahaha
haha same in Canada
Welcome to New York. Everyone is so jaded haha
i would purposely miss my stop just to listen to the whole preformance
Me too this is just too beautiful 😍
I would follow them get off their stop 😊
i would say shut the hell up and get OFF at the next stop lol
Facts
Me too
Even after 7 years it's still amazing! Wish I'd been there ❤️
this is still the best thing ever and the reason I miss NYC. Just like, random performances everywhere. Absolutely fantastic.
Considering 90 percent of the train is singing their not going to get a huge applause
*they’re
@@LifeAsMegan why correct someone in youtube comments?
Jonathon Dawes
Why not?
They were not singing for applause - did you see their faces? They were just having fun and doing what they loved to do. And I am betting the adjacent cars heard them, and enjoyed it - benefit to living in NYC.
They deserve it though!!
Shout out to The dude who subtly took off his headphones and never took out his phone to film anything, he simply just enjoyed
drunkballerina89 mega shout out
At what point was this?
Lol if he took his phone out he could enjoy it multiple times in the future
@@jaylynnnarans around 0:38. Guy with the blue button up
The people around the singing..the smiling!! Priceless!!❤️❤️❤️
My goosebumps have goosebumps! I would have bawled my eyes out like a baby if I heard this up close. SO moving!
If the Lion King don't hit that Naa like this lady I'm burning down the movie theater
DreBoogie 313 Yo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DreBoogie 313 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Look like my local movie theater getting burned down. It didn't hit lit this
DreBoogie 313
Yes, FBI? I have an arsonist here by the name of DreBoogie. What now? You already know? Oh, okay...
The movie was trash..
If I were there i would raise up my child to bring more intensity
What if your child’s not there with you?🧐
@@centiments11
Raise up a random child instead ? 😂😂😂
shizukagozen777 What if there isn’t a child there
@@centiments11
Raise up anyone. LMAO
shizukagozen777 I love you 😘
That was so beautiful. They put their souls into that and brought tears to my eyes. ❤️
I’m a New Yorker from the heart and I’d never get off the train! What beautiful energy
Woman: *AHHHHHHH HHHHHH*
Guy in a beanie: "oh sht dude!"
He’s part of the cast and he got startled too!
I think he just pretended to be startled for fun :D
Those passengers were dry and ungrateful. My ass woulda been crying all the way home.
I would cry and dance like a crazy girl 😂😂😂
Perhaps but before you judge them just think they might be deaf!
Rick Cruz i snorted
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.
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.
This still gives me Goosebumps after watching this several years earlier..👏👏 This will forever be one of my Top 10 movie and the Broadway interpretations is still unmatched👏👏❤❤
Simmmmmmba
Still sobbing. just beautiful
Im pregnant and My husband was sleeping and i played this and he got up and said omg is the baby coming
😆 😆 😆
Really 😂 maybe your husband was in a dream or nightmare . "Got up exhausted 😥😆
That's adorable!!!
@@beberivera7011Lmao
Razak Sarad k
How in the hell are people ignoring them. I'd be losing my shit with excitement.
Megan Quan Same in London... mad things happen too often to get hyped... although I think I'd have made an exception for this on the tube.
They worry a donation collector will come round with a cup...you get that sometimes in nyc.
Mallory R having lived in new york that stuff sometimes just upsets you... it happens so much there
Mallory R having lived in new york that stuff sometimes just upsets you... it happens so much there
right . some people are so damn miserable
Those people are so talented singers in the subway ride
9 years later and this can still bring me to tears
I would have cried my eyes out in happiness if this happened to me. That was so beautiful.
Crying my eyes out just watching it. I love this kind of stuff. Humanity needs more!
진주 공주 'Princess Pearl' likewise
Me too 😭
If i were on that train, i would have probably jumped/screamed at that first bit of the woman shouting. Lol.
krisisnkaos Same
theyre all on their way to/from work. their brains have shut down.
Im a New yorker and stuff like this happens in the train a lot, like dancers or musicians just randomly getting on and doing their thing, so people are used to it. That's why they're not acting too excited. But a lot of people are still impressed though, they just don't show it
D. Alexa ,seriously are they make u unhappy or give u energy?
Same. If I was on that train I would have done that to and I would have also sing along then the person right next to me would be like "Are you part of this? Me in my head in my dreams but no but outside of my mouth I would have said Yeah duh of course. LOL
Make the subway like this again. This is amazing and beautiful.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this so awesome such beautiful voices
If they would be my alarm clock every single day, I WILL NEVER BE LATE ANYMORE
• Sweetest Sowfeeyah • I would because I would let it play a couple times before getting up
I was at camp and my camp counselor's alarm was this song 😂😂
BIG BRAIIINNN
Tried making Circle of Life my alarm tone. It just pissed off my roommate. HA!
Early for work ,but a nervous wreck.
I would have had to face the window.... to hide uncontrollable, happy, sobbing.
Liyabuya Gongo Aww... I was crying too Liyabuya.
@liyabuya gongo -You and me both! Am sitting here asking myself why am I such a big crybaby. Lol
I saw this in Melbourne Australia a few years ago and still cry when I hear them sing. What a privilege the people in the train have had ❤❤
This performance will never get old!
I played this and my cat appeared. His name is Simba
is your name joe....
My kitten's name is Simba!
he is the chosen one
Me too😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Can I just point out they did this acappella and it sounds next to perfect? That's insane!
Right
They’re broadway performers...
Practice and practiced timing.
Broadway for you. Real talent.
"next to" is entirely superfluous in that sentence
It's beautiful how music can bring people together
As a New Yorker, I’m highly upset at the lack of joy and expression in these passengers faces 😂 I know that we’re not the “nicest” people but damn! This is broadway live for free. Amazing talent. Absolutely amazed. Wish I was there 😭
You can't expect everyone else to be in a good enough mood to enjoy this. People probably coming home from a stressful day at work tired and over it. Maybe someone's family member just died... maybe someone just had bad news from the doctor. Its ok if people don't want to get involved.
Living in New York you kind of grow tired of stuff like this when you’re trying to do you daily routine and it honestly gets a little annoying if you’re having a bad day so I don’t expect everyone to be in a good mood from this even tho I would’ve been put in a better mood
Gabriella Tatiannai know right lion king on broadway is everything. Deff worth it.
For free!!, right?
Robert Sossi lol um no, I have no idea what you’re talking about, I would be trying to join in or just straight up awestruck & immobilized. 😂Trust me, if I were to ever be lucky enough to witness this... shitting myself would be the very very VERRRY LAST thing on my mind. 💩🙅♀️ < 😻👍
And BTW, they weren’t all black. Js.
I would have grabbed a baby an held it up..... I love this
Yes! Totally.
Yesss, where is a baby when you need one?! Or baby lion
MisChrissy418 hahaha made my day with this

I would be in tears. Inspirational.
What a joy and awesome memory to have been on that train! I come back to feel some of that joy from time to time!
TH-cam:
2015: nope
2016: still no
2017: not yet...
2018: .......
2019: NOW RECOMMENDED
Convenient
So you want this to not be seen by anyone now? Why?
You want to see a worse video that was uploaded RIGHT TODAY? How does your brain work?
Not in Gb what 😂😂😂 never did I say this, I’m just pointing out the beauty of TH-cam recommendations
Carlton I. Huh? Youre saying it like we werent supposed to be recommended this now, because its not the exact time it was uploaded. You said exactly what I responded to.
Not in Gb Dude chill, it was a joke
The man who opened his mouth wide and sustained that incredibly difficult pitch and saw it through is a GOAT.

Where?
Marzipan Cat I’m guessing 0:52!
Francois Bessing and sitting down too
Pure talent.. entertainment in its natural form.. no enhancements.. just each individuals selfless talent and sharing it with others.. I love it
Need more of this ,the subway will never be the same 🤙
Why am I never casually riding a subway or a train when this stuff happens?
Usually happens on the Lexington Ave lines(read 4,5,6). The beggars show up on the west side and crosstown lines(read 1,2,3, N,R, Q).
Or try the Stardust Diner on 50th at 7th Ave. All the waitstaff are trying to get onto Broadway, and have shows every 20 mins or so.
Same! I was in Manhatten 2 years and nothing exciting on the subway.
They wait until you leave. No I'm serious. It's a conspiracy & everyone's in on it.👀 Damnit, now I'm banned. Everyone knows all of the best shows happen on the subway😌.
Wtf do I do now for all of my art & culture?😟
What do you do? 🤔
Because there's thousands of trains in NYC?
just imagine being overground and the train was passing by underground and you could just hear a muffled AÀÄÅÂaaAAa coming from beneath you

Lmfao i would believe it was the demons from hell

I’m just glad that there wasn’t an important subway announcement being made while they were singing
Don't use God's name in vain please brother 🙏✝️❤️
@@darioclb1363 dude, it was just a joke, chill
I CAN'T be the only one who cried literal tears of joy watching those two little girls faces light up as they began to sing along, right? Music truly transcends language and this is proof.
I saw them. They were just too cute.
I had assumed they were young Nala actresses :P
They were :p
Crying 😭
@@Cassxowary No less adorable mind you! Such tinies.
This is so spectacular! The performers my God the voices from the motherland! This reminds me of my singing days in high school. The choir and myself would break out in song everywhere! Harmony, harmony harmony to the heavens. Weather on campus or on the school, headed for a competition. The music resonated from our souls!💞🌞 BJ/ATL-USA
The world and the human race need this kind of joy.
why are people so not interested I would be crying with excitement
Clorox Bleach you're everywhere
Same here 😂
Me too, literally.
Clorox Bleach lol me too... I would have jumped first lol but I would be crying and smiling that song always got to me

That lead singer can sing her entire face off!!!
Amber A. Thompson i know
Seen lion king in Adelaide Australia.. most amazing show.. the music and singing shook me to the core.... loved every second every tune every movement on the show...💖
RIP Headphone users!! You will be missed
True.. but it's too bad ass to be angry at. :)

There is a pro vocal lesson guide on superiorsinginmethod.com for anyone who wants to sing better
Tell my homies I said Peace out

I feel sorry for those people who didnt know the song or the movie
Serious ignorance if that's the case.
+Erin Maurer lol
I know the movie but I didn't watch it as a child and now I'm to old for cartoons. Fuck me, right?

Besides I was kinda joking about it.
Who wouldn’t know man
Thank you for blessing us and putting a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing.
The Lion King always always brings tears to my eyes.... always....I watch it all the time
Imagine if they were all pranking the first lady and didnt sing along when she started singing.lol
lmao that would've been a good prank 😂
she has the power to carry the whole performance by herself
I would cry😭
Tf lol...XDXD
too funny just by imagining it 😂😂😂
* lifts baby in air
ITS BABY SIMBA BUT HUMAN
Hahahahaha i held my dog lol
Lol
Its New York I'm sure u would of found a lion or at least a dog or cat or something with fur and 4 legs haha
The father/mother of the baby: he/she is blessed
😂😂😂😂😂
OMG I love New York City so much…the energy is unbelievable
Everytime this pops up in my feed, I grab the chance to see it. Tears in my eyes each time. Of pure joy. 💌💕
that guy was in on it and he still jumped lol
Acting
I think he misjudged the acoustics in that car.
idk why I can't stop myself laughing at the man who startled when the woman starts singing🤣
I noticed that as well! And then he’s part of the cast singing! In fairness, even if I knew it was about to happen, that was a pretty powerful note she hit when she started singing...!
It's starts and everyone looks and stares
I would've been very startled too lamo
😅😅so goddam true
Same!!!!!! 😂😂😂
Music always brings people together. The power of music
Oh my goodness gracious!!! That was absolutely a MOST spectacular NYC surprise!!! What a beautiful and talented cast!!! Thank you for sharing this and giving ME a moment of joy as I listen!!! This cast certainly must have given many moments of joy with their beautiful voices!!! May God’s blessings be with all of them and you too!!!😊😊👏👏👏
Okay but can we appreciate how the leader singer lady was clearly also actually into her book and really didn't want to lose her place in it
Came here after watching a video about people singing the circle of life in a plane😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Thrilling! And I was only watching it on my phone! Love the utter delight and enjoyment of most people. The two little girls were joining in and jumping with delight.
What a lovely experience the singers have shared. ❤️
What a beautiful gift!
i honestly don’t even know who the cast was and who was just chilling on the train cause so many people are singing lmaooo
