The cast of the Lion King surprised commuters on the NY subway

It's the Circle of Liiiiiiiiiiiifffffeee.

It's all happening on the Ney York Subway. Yesterday, we had the story of the luxury spa that popped up in one of the hottest stations. And now passengers are being serenaded by real Broadway stars.

These New Yorkers were treated to a surprise a capella rendition of 'the Circle of Life' by the ACTUAL cast of the Lion King musical disguised as regular ol' commuters.

Wow. We can't understand the muted reaction from the other passengers - we would have been singing along loudly and very badly.

Do you think it was in honour of the birth of Ireland's newest Lion King? We'd like to think so.
