Kim Kardashian gives off proud mama vibes by sharing a behind-the-scenes look at her 10-year-old daughter North West’s performance as Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King live concert at Los Angeles’ The Hollywood Bowl.
While sitting in the audience with her daughter Chicago, Kardashian sang along to the performance of Can You Feel the Love Tonight? “I was feeling it,” she wrote tagging The Lion King.
Kim Kardashian also shared a photo of North helping to do Chicago’s hair in what appears to be the backstage area. “Never too busy to help her sister with her edges,” Kardashian captioned the pic.
Kardashian went on to post a picture of North in her Young Simba costume backstage. Another photo she posted featured North with Zazu as well as her with Jason Weaver, who sang as Young Simba in the 1994 animated film. Weaver also made an appearance in the live concert.
North was announced to join The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event earlier this month. Among the others who appeared in the event are Jennifer Hudson, Heather Headley, and Lebo M.
The Lion King franchise’s vets Billy Eichner, Bradley Gibson, Ernie Sabella, Weaver, Jeremy Irons, and Nathan Lane also appeared at the live event.
The two-day live event will be airing on Disney+ soon. Kim Kardashian shares North and Chicago as well as sons Saint and Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West.
