North West, the 10-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, just made her stage debut as Young Simba in Disney's The Lion King live concert! The star-studded event was one of the film's 30th-anniversary shows, and North stole the show on Friday, May 24, at The Hollywood Bowl stage in Los Angeles.

With her proud family in the audience cheering her on, North took to the stage as the cute little lion cub, Young Simba. Beaming with pride, she performed magnificently with the song I Just Can't Wait to be King from the animated classic. These are heartwarming photographs that captured the moment in which North showed her talent and undeniably star quality. It shows the Kardashian-West family's entertainment understanding is as good as the apple falling close to the tree.

North West steals the show as Young Simba in adorable onstage performance

Sporting a light yellow furry hood, zipped sweater, light yellow shorts, and furry boots, only made North West perfect a Young Simba look. But she was not alone, and had a powerful backup from the Pride Lands; her special guest performer was singer and actress of immense repute Jennifer Hudson.

During one of the clips posted on X (previously Twitter), North appeared dramatically, jumping from behind the pile of grammophones imitated by the dancers using the folds of the stage decorations, and prop leaves. The host of the show, a passionately African young woman, smiled brightly as she began with the song ‘I just can’t wait to be King.’ The elaborate costumes of the dancers and herself completed the African flavor as she danced energetically and the dances moved to the theme of The Lion King. All about the jungle queen – indeed, it was quite a performance worthy of a monarch.

Kim Kardashian celebrates North's stage debut with sweet treats and floral gifts

As North entertained the public online, her mother Kim Kardashian was off-tracking her every move to ensure that she knew how much she was loved and supported. The mother of three and 43-year-old Kardashian is also a doting mother, and so on Friday, May 24, she treated her fans to a glimpse into how North was enjoying the birthday and moments on the stage through her Instagram Stories.

One particularly touching photograph depicted Kardashian and her opened oven full of Lion King-motivated cookies in the form of Young Simba and Human North. It is worth mentioning an unforgettable and delicious dish that should become the burst of a new star.

However, that was not the end of the satisfaction. Kardashian also said that she also posted beautiful flowers that were beautifully arranged and which had been given to North before her dance show. Standing among the flower preparations to be delivered were specially, sweet guilders from none other than North’s great-grandmother, Mary Jo Shannon, and a special bouquet from over-the-moon grandma, Kris Jenner. Such a stand-by I would guess has certainly helped North to sparkle as she does on the stage.
