North West Joins Cast Of ‘The Lion King’ 30th Anniversary Concert
North West is bringing her talents to the stage.
The 10-year-old has joined the cast of Disney’s The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event. The performance is set for May 24 and May 25 at the Hollywood Bowl in Hollywood, Calif.
Acclaimed Broadway star Heather Headley and Grammy Award winner, Tony Award nominee, and the voice and spirit of The Lion King, Lebo M., were also added to the cast.
West and Headley join the previously announced talent list that includes franchise originals Billy Eichner, Bradley Gibson, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and special guest Jennifer Hudson. The two-night event will also feature a full orchestra performing Hans Zimmer’s Oscar-winning score, led by conductor Sarah Hicks.
Additionally, the Hollywood Bowl presentation will feature the cast performing select numbers for the first time at the venue, and highlight the Broadway show’s award-winning and artistically acclaimed costumes, set design, and innovative puppetry. The special will be streamed on Disney+ at a later date.
The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl is produced by Disney Concerts, Fulwell 73 Productions, AMP Worldwide, and Live Nation-Hewitt Silva. The program celebrates the 30-year evolution of The Lion King, from the original 1994 animated film, to the 1998 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, to the 2019 dramatic live-action film.
Tickets to the Hollywood Bowl performances can be purchased at the official website.
