The musical has costumes that will blow your mind! They use the human form, stilts, and intricate headsets that call back to the tribal setting of the story. The story is the one you remember for your childhood, but it’s not animated – at least, not in the digital way. The Legendary singer/songwriter is part of what’s made the musical so successful. While it doesn’t have Beyonce, like the 2019 summer movie, it does have a superstar to thank for some of its songs – Sir Elton John. What if you could experience the Zulu-lyrics along with English speaking songs, in person, being sung by real people? You can – at the Lion King Musical! It’s been on stage over 9,000 times and is one the most awarded musicals - ever. But hey- it makes the movie great and it makes the musical even greater. The actual words are “Nants ingonyama bathe Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama” which means, “here comes a lion, father, oh yes, it’s a lion”.įor such a dramatic song, that’s a lyrical letdown if we’ve ever heard it.
Have you ever tried, and failed, singing along to the opening credits of the Lion King movie? You’re not alone – not many people speak Zulu.
