One of the must-see attractions in Hong Kong Disneyland is the Festival of the Lion King. It is a ravishing spectacle of lights, songs and costumes all combined to give you that superlative entertainment. This is a show not just for kids but also for kids-at-heart. So i didn't mind waiting for almost an hour for the theater to open and the show to begin... Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata is a Swahili (Easter African dialect) phrase meaning "no worries". And evidently, you will leave all your worries behind when you are watching the show.
The main cast of the show include Simba and her lady love Nala.
Timon and Pumba added comic relief to the already entertaining show.
Dazzling displays of colors, lights and float will bring-out the kid in everyone.
Rafiki, the wise old baboon, calls the animals to Pride Rock, singing about the Circle of Life.
This Asian Version definitely included Filipino Talents.
Amazing fire-baton players.
As always, it is a story about good over evil presented in a spectacular way.
Can't wait to see this play again.More of Hong Kong Disneyland on my next posts.
One of my few favorite attractions in Disney. Seen it with my kids in CA and Tokyo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
I thoroughly enjoyed the show. And though they don't allow photo taking, I didn't care. Lol. =)
ReplyDeleteMas trip ko pa rin sa cartoons... especially timon! jijijijiji

Wow sulit talaga ang HK trip mo. Na-amaze naman ako sa post na 'to. Swahili, hmmmm I remembered a chatmate who taught me some swahili words. From tanzania siya.
ReplyDeletethese shots are spectacular! my nephew was a Lion King fanatic when he was a little boy. at 3 or 4 yrs old, he operated the player and watched Lion King all day long. he wanted to be called "timba" (bulol e).:D
ReplyDeleteexcellent show indeed! i was totally amazed with the stage, performers and the production itself when i watched it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the show. Enjoyed it totally. Feels like I'm there!!! Never saw the stage version but would love to one day, if I get the chance.
ReplyDeletelooks like a really fun show! i hope i get to watch the lion king on broadway someday....
ReplyDeleteDid you see some Pinoy in the casts? :D
ReplyDeleteWow really fabulous and yes there are lots of filipino talents in their production.
ReplyDeleteAre they singing Hemanya Mahem Hinamabala in Circle of life really like this song.
must be one of the highlights of the trip. great snaps.
ReplyDeletei wonder if it's as spectacular as the broadway musical? but since you say there's filipino talent involved, i'm sure it's a marvelous presentation, like your pictures show us!
ReplyDeletei've only seen "beauty and the beast" at disney world.
What a spectacle! Must be a very entertaining play.
ReplyDeleteThe Lion King is my favorite stage show in the Animal Kingdom at Disney World Florida. Difficult to photograph if you are not in the front row of seats, and even then still tough because of the lighting. Very fun and entertaining either way. :)
ReplyDeleteNice photos po ang galing you captured it even if the lighting is not that good. Ano pong camera ang gamit mo?
ReplyDeleteNapaisip tuloy ako, magkakaroon kaya ng disneyland sa pinas?
nice bro! definitely one of the most famous disney story and making it a play is really great.
ReplyDeletehakuna matata will forever be in my mind.
These are without a doubt some of the most spectacular photos I've seen! Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteSandi

ReplyDeletepeyborit ko si timon and pumba, sinasabayan ko dati yung kids ko manood niyan nung maliliit pa sila hahaha
ReplyDeleteastig ang lion king
ReplyDeletei should know

This show is a must-see in Disney. From your photos, it looks very similar to the one I saw at the Animal Kingdom in Orlando. Too bad, I haven't even seen The Lion King on Broadway!!!
ReplyDeletelooks like a wonderful play, not only for kids but for adults as well :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this show in HK. Saw the play version at Toronto :)
ReplyDeletewow! kaka-inggit naman to kuya oman. how i wish makapunta din ako ng hong kong soon. ganda ng pics. i know you had so much fun there!
ReplyDeleteLS: Neat show.
ReplyDeleteI've seen few tears back the Lion King musical but this one is as colourful as well.... I am amazed you can take pictures inside, most won't allow video and cameras...
