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.
