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.
