Had to come here to see what this song would look like performed by a talented child and not a nepo baby

[cmhsgrad]

Had to find a good version of young Simba after I saw the 30th anniversary version

Oh, god, Zazu has to be the best designed character ever. He's a human, but he plays a bird, but he uses the bird as an avatar instead of being 'part' of him like the rest of the cast. It's amazing.

I’m so glad I saw The Lion King years ago. It was an incredible experience. I lucked out not seeing a nepo baby on that stage.

Who’s here after the lil kardashian kid stunt?
Feeling second hand embarrassment for her now:

[DanielMartinez-dnor]

I just thought, isn't The Lion King about teaching a nepo baby a lesson?

[sethpiapot]

anyone else come here after watching Norths performance?

[jeljone]

A kid who is actually talented and deserving of that role. Privileged North. I Feel bad for those kids who worked hard and auditioned for this years Lion King theatrical.

[seastormsinger]

Just stopping by to see what it should have been like.

[TXRider]

This is what a good performance of "I Just Can't Wait..." looks like, people. And no Big Bird costumes, either.

[Userpow]

Now that's pure talent, not the shit we saw on Broadway

[PurplenessRox]

Being that kid on Lion King Broadway must be like.... AMAZING. by the way, just wanna say, LOVE the giraffes.

who were desperate to watch a better version than North West and just trying to get rid of that unsatisfied feeling after watching it everywhere on the internet?

[Natta]

The energy of a real Westend stage performance compared to North is like chalk and cheese 😳

[ebbss]

Disney should be a damn shame for what they allowed to happen this show in 2024

[kaitlynamira]

I needed to watch some actual good performances of this so here I am

[nickp]

Timon: Hey! Keep it down over there!

Pumbaa: We have neighbors. We should go say, "hello".

Timon: Noisy neighbors! I'll show them!

The Lion King has been and will always remian my favourite Musical Theatre performance. I remeber I saw for the first time when I was only 6 years old. Being in awe of what I was watching, and at the very end some of the ensemble walked down the isles and a "giraffe" bent down and was face-face with me. Ever since that moment I fell in love the Musicals and have seen every sibgle one possible at least once

I couldn't stop playing the part when zazu was screaming and pretending to fall 😄😄😄😅😅😅

[EmrysFalcon]

Had to find a food version after north west butchered it.
