I just gazelle company last night.Phine Mkhize was an excellent Rafiki. I loved her, and the rest of the cast, too. This show is INCREDIBLE- seriously, julie taymor (director, costume designer, and mask/puppet co-designer) is a GENIUS ~Ash was here
This is bloody amazing I have been to London theather to watch this and it's bloody AMAZING from start to finish I had goose bumps the whole way though it was Belond AMAZING
Magical jus simply Magical! If they did the Lion King On Tv all the time instead of all tha reality shows & bad news & raunchy shows thay got out now, this will open up alotta ppls eyes, let you see what real beauty is
I remember seeing this in Boston with friends. We brought children and I expected it to be something mainly for the kids...yet the opening scene was so amazing--it had me in tears. dont buy the dvd. doubtful there is one. you HAVE to see it live! Amazing costumes!
i seen this show last friday the 15th Jan on Broadway and it was simply INCREDIBLE!...an absolute masterpiece,i paid $320 for two front row seats and bhoy was it worth every cent,i will be seeing again the next time im in NY...
It was the most amazing thing i have ever been to! I saw it in Alaska! OMG I cried a few times mostly cuz i was so excited and it was that amazing and when mufasa died!! OMG
whats so amazing about lion king broadway is that you dont look at the people and think 'oh thats a person waving around a bird' or 'its a guy in stilts with a giraffe head' u forget they're human.
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN WASHINGTON, i live in yakima, so all that we have here is the capitol theatre, and we could never put on a preformance like the one that I saw in Seattle, I saw it at The Paramount, and i completely disagree with the person that said that the london rafiki was better, the us tour rafiki is a south african native, so she was much better at singing this music, she was absolutly hilarious!!!!! the "do you 'click' understand?" was the best!!!
@ImpsProductions same here. i want to see this show so much, but there is no way it will tour new zealand. hopefully it will come to australia and i will be able to go.
@willbeanz1 the one at disney world is so not the same as the real brodway version the disney one is downplayed will the characters being disticnt figures from the movie like sima is shown as a animated statue that looks like the movie same with timone pumba and so on. the original brodway one gives a new life to the characters giving them more human qualitys that you can relate to just saying not trying to be mean just saying lol :)
The puppetry is just absolutely mindblowing. I don't know how they all came up with these ideas! So creative!
I've learned more about life from seeing the film version and the broadway adaption of the Lion King than any school has ever taught me.
saw this in vegas when the animals started coming in i was in tears lol so beautiful!!
this music gives me the chills every time i hear it!
Did anyone else get shivers?
*shivers* man, this song always gives me goosebumps i almost feel like crying when hearing it too, it's so beautiful
I love when the lionesses come out!

this is the only Disney movie i will always watch and never get bored with. same with the musical!!

I just saw this show for the third time, STILL :LOVE IT!!! This show is awesome, I recommend anyone to see it
I loved the play on stage, it was awsome and this number was breathtaking. To hear the voices live was extraodinary. I{d love to see'em again.
This is bloody amazing I have been to London theather to watch this and it's bloody AMAZING from start to finish I had goose bumps the whole way though it was Belond AMAZING

Just saw the Gazelle Company at the Wash, DC Kennedy center...this is a truly powerful piece, and a wonderful show. I highly recommend it!
my favorite for costumes is well all of them but i really liked zazu

The whole of the lion king not just this part of it was Belond AMAZING
Still a great Musical! I saw it in the Netherlands twice, and it's really an fantastic musical! Unfortunately it's not performing anymore!:(

This Rafiki shines more in later songs where she is able to go higher in her vocal range, she was spectacular. Saw the Show Tuesday night.

i saw it in orlando florida at animal kingdom
Never mind...it's been ten years, hasn't it?
@lilmissrom I couldn't agree more.
i like lebo m more than her but she does such an amazing job as well. both of them should sing together!
@ImpsProductions
same here. i want to see this show so much, but there is no way it will tour new zealand. hopefully it will come to australia and i will be able to go.
Thanks. I was wondering what company was at the Kennedy Center.
I'm goin.. August 16th.
This was BY FAR the best show I've ever seen. Better than Wicked!
lol at 1:40
This is the cast that played when I saw it on broadway May of 2008.
i want to be a giraffe
like the part when the elephant is comming :)
Interesting that it's back on the 2008 Tonys. Why? They have more animals this time around. :)
lebo m is more powerful in the delivery!! but still good!! =]
Which Rafiki is this?
I no this may sound stupid but, what are the tony awards
