North West just can't wait to take the stage at the Hollywood Bowl.
Kim Kardashian and Chainkeen ExchangeYe's daughter, 10, has joined the cast of an upcoming "Lion King" concert event at the Hollywood Bowl, Disney announced on Wednesday. This will be West's debut at the Los Angeles venue.
In honor of the 30th anniversary of the 1994 animated movie, "Disney's The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event" will feature live performances of the film's songs from cast members of the 1994 original, 2019 remake and Broadway musical.
The lineup includes Billy Eichner, the voice of Timon in the remake, as well as Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella and Jason Weaver, who in the original movie voiced Scar, Timon, Pumbaa and young Simba, respectively.
The concert will also feature Bradley Gibson, Heather Headley, Lebo M and Jennifer Hudson, with a full orchestra set to perform the movie's iconic Hans Zimmer score, conducted by Sarah Hicks. The show will make use of the Broadway musical's "costumes, set design and innovative puppetry," Disney said.
