It's fascinating to see behind the scenes,
we really don't realize everything that goes on when we're watching the show.
There's a mechanical box and a battery that are hidden in the pockets of the costume.
I guess it adds a little weight.
Precisely. And actually, we have the same mechanism for Scar, except that Scar has a double movement.
He can also rise in the air.
- Congratulations. - It's you, we don't deserve any credit.
Oh, sure, you do, talent clearly plays a part. I couldn't do Nala, I can tell you that. [Laughter]
No, but what I mean to say is that it works because you guys come through and…
- It's word of mouth, I know I brought some people, too. - That's what's great.
[Music from THE LION KING Paris production]
It was great. Honestly, it's much more emotional than when you watch it on TV. It's great.
Their voices fill the entire arena, it's really gut wrenching.
"Hello, Mamela." [Applause]

Upon seeing these strangers, the villagers exclaimed:
"Look at that rascal sashaying on his donkey and making his father walk in front of him--
What a bad son. Remember, when violence is unleashed, no one shall stop it."
[Applause]
- Great. - It's beautiful. - It's magical, it's Africa. [Laughter]

- Great. You're welcome. - Thanks.
- We only did the make-up workshop. - Did she like it?
- Well, yes. The result is quite nice. - She's cute as a button.
Now we're entering the technical world. This is the wonderful world of costumes.
We have a second team that comes in at 6:30pm. We have 12 dressers on set at all times, backstage, to run the show.
Every 30 seconds there's a mask, a set, or a prop that comes on.
If you've heard about carbon fiber, it's a bit like fiberglass, only lighter.
One, two, three, four. There you go, thanks a lot! [Cheers and applause]
Simple and nice. There. No, really, very nice.
It will take me two weeks to recover, but I wasn't warmed up, see, that's the problem.
Hello, everyone. [Cheers]
"And can you feel the love tonight? How it's laid to rest--"
Can we do that again? Three, four.
[Singing]
It's a romantic song, so put your heart and soul into it and let's sing it again together.
[Singing and applause]
They're victims of their own success, the crowd is huge.
I did a lot of things; I wandered through the theater and everything.
- The artists are... It felt real. They weren't dressed but... - They were wonderful. - It wasn't their costumes but it felt real.
