What People Are Saying
CLEVELAND
The vocals that soar above the rest belong to Rafiki (Gugwana Dlamini) and Simba (Darian Sanders). From the first moment, Dlamini grabs us by the heart with her jubilant, gloriously gritty tone in one of the most memorable songs from the score, "The Circle of Life." Sanders' rendition of "Endless Night" is simply stunning. He plays the role of Simba with a twinkle in his eye, but with honest vulnerability.
SAN ANTONIO
Throughout the evening the audience audibly moved through the story with the actors. Most notably during "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" when Darian Sanders (Simba) and Kayla Cyphers (Nala) began to get close. A large number of the audience cheered them on only to be met with a perfect "awkward separation" that can only happen between friends who accidentally find themselves in what seems to be a romantic situation.
MEMPHIS
"Shadowland" as well as Darian Sanders's "Endless Night" brought tears to my eyes. Other ensemble numbers such as "One By One" and "He Lives In You" strike the emotions as well as the senses. I personally love seeing all of the "animals" grouped together and their combined voices make the Orpheum stage shake as if a stampede has just occurred wink wink. "He Lives In You" was my personal favorite, both emotional and inspiring, and made me want to get up and join in Simba's newfound confidence and determination.
