NORTH West has joined the cast of Disney's The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl for a live concert event.
The performance will be filmed across two performances to be released as a special program on Disney+.
North, 10, will star alongside an A-list cast that includes Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Billy Eichner, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver, Jennifer Hudson, and Bradley Gibson.
Broadway talent Heather Headley and Lebo M. are also set to hit the stage.
The shows will take place on May 24 and 25 in celebration of The Lion King’s 30th anniversary.
The recording will be streamed on Disney+, though a release date has not been announced.
The live rendition will mark three decades of the 1994 animated film, which has seen several adaptations including the 1998 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and a 2019 live-action movie.
The Hollywood Bowl extravaganza will include a full orchestra performing Han Zimmer's score, with immersive moments from the film's iconic soundtrack.
The songs Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Circle of Life, and Hakuna Matata will take center focus.
There will also be elements borrowed from the beloved Broadway musical, including some of the original musical numbers, set designs, costumes, and puppetry.
The Lion King's 30-year celebration precedes the forthcoming Christmas-time prequel from Walt Disney Studios, Mufasa: The Lion King.
The December 20 live-action film will delve into the origin story of the king of the Pride Lands, and Simba's father.
She is supposedly constructing her own sound apart from her famous dad, though she plans to collaborate with the controversial star.
