April 1, 2014 — -- Who needs a ticket to a Broadway show when you have a business class seat?

The cast of the Australian touring company of the musical "The Lion King" broke out into song while they waited to take off on a flight to Sydney.

The singers -- seated toward the front of the plane -- gave a pretty impressive rendition of "Circle of Life," originally performed by Elton John.

People began holding up their phones and taking videos of the performance.

It looks like the flight attendant even gets into the mix and grabs one of the cast member's phones to shoot video for them.
