Twenty-five years after “The Lion King” roared onto Broadway, its final original cast member feels nothing but pride.
Ensemble actor Lindiwe Dlamini believes the Disney musical about a lion cub’s coming-of-age journey continues to connect with audiences because it’s a human story at its core.
“You have all these things about loss,” Dlamini told the Daily News. “You have the death of the king. You have a young man trying to find himself. ... Sometimes the audience tells us when they watch the show, ‘I just lost my dad’ or ‘I just lost my loved one, and when I went to the show, it just made me feel better.’ "
