Kim Kardashian and Ye’s daughter, North West joins Lion King anniversary concert cast

North West is carving her own path in the spotlight, joining the cast of Disney's The Lion King 30th Anniversary, A Live-to-Film Concert Event.

 

The 10-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, will perform alongside franchise veterans like Billy Eichner, Nathan Lane, and special guest Jennifer Hudson at the Hollywood Bowl.

 

The event will also be streamed on Disney+ as The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl.

 

While West's role is still under wraps, the concert will honour the iconic evolution of The Lion King franchise, from the original 1994 animated film to the 1998 Tony Award-winning musical and the 2019 live-action remake.

 

The event will take place on May 24 and 25, with tickets available now.

 

This opportunity adds to West's growing artistic pursuits. Her recent hit single "Talking," a collaboration with her father and Ty Dolla $ign on their "Vultures" album, made her one of the youngest artists to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

 

She expressed her wide-ranging career goals in her solo cover story for i-D's Fall/Winter 2023 issue, hinting at aspirations in music, art, and possibly even running her parents' businesses, Yeezy and SKIMS.
