FESTIVAL OF THE LION KING
All of these characters are confident in themselves as individuals, their relationships with each other, and the rest of the inhabitants of the Pride Lands. Their passion for entertaining and sharing the music and culture of the Lion King with their audience is what drives their performances. We encourage BIPOC vocalists and vocalists of all shapes and sizes to submit.
Kiume: The Leader. He has a strong, commanding presence and could be seen as intimidating, yet he is witty and has a kind and loveable side. Resonant baritone/bass.
Nakawa: The Prince. An eager, charming, and youthful character. He is confident but not cocky. Pop/R&B second tenor.
Zawadi: The Gift. Mother Earth to all who know her. She is wise and grounded but also has a fun and robust personality. Gospel mezzo-soprano with high belt.
Kibibi: The Princess. A radiant ingénue with a sweet and playful persona. Pop/gospel second soprano with a high belt to E.
