‘Lion King’ cast bursts out into ‘Circle of Life’ on plane

If this happened every time we flew, we’d never again complain about lost luggage, departure delays or getting stuck in the middle seat.

The Australian cast of “The Lion King” burst into an impromptu, joyful rendition of “The Circle of Life” while waiting to take off on a flight from Brisbane to Sydney.

Other passengers held up cell phones to grab videos of the performance, which they’d pay sweet money for at the theater.

At the end, one of the flight attendants can be heard saying that the captain was embarrassed that his PA announcement didn’t compare.

Enjoy.
