So sad Jason Raize (the original adult Simba)is not here to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Lion King. Rest In Peace.

Rest in peace to our original Simba, Jason Raize. So sad that he didn't make it to see the 25th anniversary, but "Endless Night" is always sung in his honor 💙

[UltimaKeyMaster]

That has gotta be one of the most beautiful anniversary tributes to anything I've ever seen.

[tairevonkrolock]

Damn, this made me more emotional than I expected. It is so wonderful to see this. Hopefully the Lion King can keep shining bright on Broadway for years to go!💕

Timon: Hey Pumba. I know a anniversary better then 24.

Pumba: Let’s hear it Timon.

Timon: 25!

Hello-

unfortunately The Lion King currently onstage at the Minskoff Theater isn't the same production that opened Nov. 1997 and
won the Toby Award for Nest Musical June of 1998, its a revised version.

[GyrlBlaque]

Is The Lion King the longest running Broadway play ? 🤔
