North West just can't wait to take the stage at the Hollywood Bowl.
Kim Kardashian and Ye'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.

In March, North West spoke with Jazzy's World TV at the Rolling Loud festival and teased her upcoming debut album, which she revealed will be titled "Elementary School Dropout," a reference to her dad Ye's album "The College Dropout." A release date for the album hasn't been announced. In 2023, West lent her voice to the animated film "PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie."
The concert also comes as Disney prepares to extend the "Lion King" franchise in December with "Mufasa: The Lion King," which serves as a prequel and sequel to the 2019 remake. Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner and Beyoncé are returning from the previous film, and Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy Carter is also set for a voice role.
