stayc main image

The Hollywood Bowl recently hosted a spectacular live production of Disney’s ‘The Lion King,’ featuring North West in the role of young Simba. The 10-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West wowed audiences with her rendition of "I Just Can’t Wait to Be King," capturing the spirit and enthusiasm of the beloved character. Sharing the stage with North were renowned performers like Jennifer Hudson and Billy Eichner, along with original Lion King voice actors Jason Weaver and Jeremy Irons. Weaver, who voiced young Simba’s singing parts in the original 1994 film, was particularly impressed by North’s performance, taking to Instagram to commend her professionalism and talent.

Jennifer Hudson bookended the show with powerful performances of "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," accompanied by the song’s original singer, Lebo M, and a full live orchestra. This blend of past and present talent created a magical experience for the audience, bringing the iconic soundtrack to life in a way that honored its legacy while introducing a new generation of performers. The event was filmed for an upcoming release on Disney+, promising to bring this unforgettable night to a broader audience, though a release date has not yet been confirmed.

Adding to the excitement surrounding North West’s budding career, she has also announced her debut album, ‘Elementary School Dropout,’ a playful nod to her father Kanye West’s debut album, ‘The College Dropout.’ North revealed her album plans at Kanye’s ‘Vultures 2’ listening party, where she also performed a rap verse for the track "Talking" alongside her father in Paris. As fans eagerly await the release dates for both her album and the Disney+ special, it’s clear that North West is already making significant strides in the entertainment industry, following in her parents’ illustrious footsteps.
