Just saw this today. I started sobbing in the middle of this song, it was just so beautiful and powerful! A movie I adored as a kid coming to life so perfectly, I was overwhelmed! Excellent show, I would see it again in a heartbeat!
mermaid ry It’s so beautiful and powerful and overwhelmingly epic and awesome that my brain and my soul can’t frickin’ take it!!! ...and yet, you should see the size of the smile on my face!
I lived in London for a couple of years and went and watch...OH MY GOD THIS SHOW IS PLANTED IN MY HEART SO DEEPLY I COULDN'T EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL EVERY TIME I HEAR THESE SONGS..Absolutely amazing.. (and expensive, by the way, but I can tell why!) and also one of the best soundtracks Hans Zimmer composed, in my opinion ❤😭
Nothing melts my heart to see those two Giraffes entering the stage, and the two guys (Gazelle) praising...."Bayetheeee, ndaba zintha, wena we ndlovu....Helelele, hoza baba...Siyabonga Baba........"
INGONYAMANENGWENAMABALA my school did this for the fifth grade play when I was in fourth. Now I’m in eighth and still remember some of the words but they never thought us how to spell them though XD I’m probably getting it so wrong.😂
This is just a video in TH-cam and is already one of the most powerfull things I have ever seen. Tears, chills, and a lump in my throat, just in a 4 minutes video.
I'm crying so hard rn. The love and craftsmanship this team puts into Broadway play is so incredible. You never see this anymore, but it's so good to see that there's performances like this who pay such great attention o every little detail. I saw this in Spokane 9 years ago and I have to see it again.
Because it’s talking about the sun being Center of the universe, the one that brings life, without it all life will die. This movie is powerful because it’s talking about the gods and goddess of the sun
This was all for the new prince, heir to the thrown. It shows how much the animals respect Mufasa. This is really such a powerful song! Still to this day, Lion King is my BEYOND favorite movie! Simply nothing can match its beauty and power. 🦁👑😻😻😼🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
I've seen this 2x on Broadway, 1x in Baltimore and 1x in LA. More that 15 years later, even THIS video has me crying on TH-cam! It is an awesome awesome spectacle!
I saw it Saturday in Jacksonville! The most amazing experience ever!! I will see it again and again!! BRAVO!!! So beautiful and moving, I was brought to tears!!!
I saw this when I was about 7 and hadn't listened to it in the intervening 12 years but now I have goosebumps and a major flashback to the wonder of seeing it live
When I was in 5th grade, our grade was chosen to go see this show because of an exhibit we did on the power of language, it was so mesmerizing and astonishing. I will never forget the experience.
This presentation reminds me 8 yrs ago, we’re performing with the Special kids in Zapatera Elementary School, Philippines and we won Champion. I never expect the children can do it, it’s so touching that makes me cry…So amazing…Thanks to all cast of Lion King, it inspired the special children to do their roles.❤❤❤
jeeezzzlouise...this song hits me so hard every god damn time..like "its awesome gonna watch it" 15 sec in and the after effect of cutting onions at work kick in....
how is it possible to dislike this mastery. im so upset i wasnt able to see the whole thing live in person, but at least this offers a small taste of this spectacular rendition of the Lion King:) brought me to tears~
I saw his yesterday and I cried at this part! It's so powerful and amazing to see the animals come down the aisles in the theatre and surround you! The voices and costumes fit so perfect. Chills listen no right now!
Best....opening....ever! When I saw “The Lion King”, the audience erupted into an epic rock concert cheer the moment the elephants appeared.....it was awesome!
I saw something very similar to this in the London Theaters and I loved it so much the way they use there bodies to become the animal just amazes me I wish I could see it again ❤️❤️❤️
I get goosebumps watching this every time cos it takes me right back to that night at the minskoff theatre!! One of the best nights of my life! My childhood made right there
My mom just surprised me with money to buy tickets for when they come to Indiana this Fall. We were watching this video when she gave it to me and I just sobbed. Now every time I watch this video I cry all over again.
As close as the human race has ever gotten to perfection is this opening
mike shoe no argument there
i agree one of the best openings.
No doubt! I’ve been blessed enough to see it twice and I’m seeing it in New Zealand next week!
The sun rising is literally one of the most iconic parts of Disney movie history
Just saw this today. I started sobbing in the middle of this song, it was just so beautiful and powerful! A movie I adored as a kid coming to life so perfectly, I was overwhelmed! Excellent show, I would see it again in a heartbeat!
It's so brilliantly done I don't know how you couldn't sob just a bit if any
Lol I always tear up when the giraffes come out idk why. so good though.
Good girl i cried too ;)
Laura B I did too! I went in 2015. I have cousins who are in this production, went to go watch them. And ended up crying most of the time!!!
Laura B in Melb Aus
as soon as the sun starts to rise in the back I cry, every damn time. what a beautiful piece of music.
Me too!! Lol. Always loved the giraffes from childhood.
The first note wasn't even finished and I had already started crying. 👍🏼
Ok.
I know the feeling!
I'm tearing up just listening to this 😫
The Lion King is the best live theatre experience a person could ever have. The most amazing, beautiful and soul happy show I've EVER seen.
Yep
When you wished the 2019 version of Lion King had this much emotion, color, and emoting/acting.
This is one Broadway musical I will always cherish.
They should have just filmed this, like what Hamilton did on Disney+
I know
Like i saw a show in few years ago with my friend
Every time those dang giraffes enter I always cry. Every freaking time
Sameeee
I managed to keep my tears under control... BUT MUFASA AND SARABI AND BABY SIMBA SHOWING UP MADE ME LOSE IT!!
@@LchanOtakudom Meeeee 🙋🏾♀️
mermaid ry It’s so beautiful and powerful and overwhelmingly epic and awesome that my brain and my soul can’t frickin’ take it!!!
...and yet, you should see the size of the smile on my face!
@@LchanOtakudom I would get chills in the first few seconds, I've wanted to see it or YEARS
I cry every time I watch this. No words can describe how beautiful this is
I thought maybe I was the only one that cried every time I see this, I saw it again last night for the 4th time and just absolutely love it
me too
Me too i cried só wonderful
I lived in London for a couple of years and went and watch...OH MY GOD THIS SHOW IS PLANTED IN MY HEART SO DEEPLY I COULDN'T EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL EVERY TIME I HEAR THESE SONGS..Absolutely amazing.. (and expensive, by the way, but I can tell why!)
and also one of the best soundtracks Hans Zimmer composed, in my opinion ❤😭
I thought Elton John and Tim Rice composed this song
Ana Raquel Visgueira not the soundtrack. They wrote the songs.
Fra - llallà wow, so Hans Zimmerman is really in everything
Guys, it's Africa. The place and people have something deeply special. :) Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika.
The best opening to a musical, EVER!!
I 10000% agree. I've seen this show twice 😢
Saw this today and got goosebumps!
Polly isabella
Nick Bruce ?
Polly isabella I think he likes you
Oreo Gambino what??? he don't know me lmao :'D
Polly isabella I saw this few ago in 2015 it was awesome
Nothing melts my heart to see those two Giraffes entering the stage, and the two guys (Gazelle) praising...."Bayetheeee, ndaba zintha, wena we ndlovu....Helelele, hoza baba...Siyabonga Baba........"
One song that always makes me proud of my Zulu heritage.
What's the translation of the Zulu part? I'm so curious to know what the gazelles are saying!

Her voice is so powerful! As a singer, I understand how beautiful her voice is.
+Ainsley McCarthy Thats a funny comment, thank you
Ainsley McCarthy Hamilton profile pic. Yesss
So is my singing voice is also powerful if only I could have you in the audience with me as rafiki You would love it so much
God why does this make so emotional?!
Kristen Scott Music can be very overwhelming. :D
I think because it sounds like home...
It makes me so emotional because we have been given such a beautiful gift of the world and we don't value it at all, we destroy it.
It’s beautiful and powerful and just... perfection!

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this. I cry EVERY single time. Absolutely Amazing!
I saw this when I was about 7 and hadn't listened to it in the intervening 12 years but now I have goosebumps and a major flashback to the wonder of seeing it live
When they bow down I always cry there’s just something about that moment that gets me every time
The costumes are spot on! They did them so perfectly! I give them a 100%! Just beautiful!
I wish they'd preform at my funeral lol
SunKissNicole you will not die soon amen
SunKissNicole don't die to young cutie
Phenomenal Woman
Ive told my younger siblings that I want this played at my funeral.
I really wish I could watch this live. This alone gave me goosebumps. It's perfect!
I had to put a blanket on from all the chills I got it’s so good
Simply put, this is phenomenal!

I saw this at the end of April last year at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway. I have never cried so much as it was such a shot to my childhood.

Have seen this beautiful show two times and it’s glorious. I tell you now, this is one show you MUST see.

Visit Somalia!
I saw something very similar to this in the London Theaters and I loved it so much the way they use there bodies to become the animal just amazes me I wish I could see it again ❤️❤️❤️
I have to say I love the West end this looks so good every time I see this I smile a lot is so good x
I don't know why but it always gets to me when the animals stop dancing and start to bow.
Gil A
Same.
I'm legit crying because the performance is beautiful
Still takes my breath away every time!
I bet even those two old guys from the Muppets, Waldorf and Statler, would find it hard to criticize this show.
Ed Regis
Agreeded.
Sasha Tamara Keegan I’m pretty sure they’re part of the people who disliked the video
Best live version. Ever! 🙌🙌🙌
seen this on Broadway. it was truly amazing ❤
I get goosebumps watching this every time cos it takes me right back to that night at the minskoff theatre!! One of the best nights of my life! My childhood made right there
The MOST powerful, beautiful and healing opening to a Musical, perhaps EVER.....
I've been twice and I've cried both times. The show is beyond amazing
Pure magic!! Incredible!
This is the only thing I don’t mind watching for school 😃👍

I love this song so much
I literally cried when I saw this myself.
This is truly one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever crafted.....just staggering.....
I went to this twice in Edinburgh and was blown away everytime 🥰🥺
I love the lion king and this song as well because we experience their kind of culture.
Best quality Lion King Circle of Life video on TH-cam! Thank you for sharing.

Crying my fucking eyes out. This is too beautiful to exist
Who’s looking forward to The Lion King 2019?
Took my family to see this in the summer of 2018and saw it twice. Love it love it love it
I watched lion king live in London and it was just phenomenal! I have never had them kind of goosebumps before. (Aguerooooo!!! was close tho)
My ABSOLUTELY favorite rafiki
this gives me the same feelings it did when I saw it live
My mom just surprised me with money to buy tickets for when they come to Indiana this Fall. We were watching this video when she gave it to me and I just sobbed. Now every time I watch this video I cry all over again.
0:30 - 0:36 You can actually hear the power in his voice
