Kim Kardashian is one proud mom!

On Saturday, May 25, the SKIMS founder, 43, posted a series of behind-the-scenes looks from her 10-year-old daughter North West's performance as Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King live concert at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

In a first Instagram Stories video, Kardashian sat in the audience with her daughter Chicago, 6, and sang along to the performance of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight."

“I was feeling it @thelionking.” she wrote over the clip.

Next up, Kardashian posted a sweet photo of North helping Chicago — both of whom the reality star shares with ex Kanye West — with her hair in what appeared to be a backstage area.

“Never too busy to help her sister with her edges,“ the reality star, who is also mom to sons Saint, 8. and Psalm, 5, with the rapper, captioned the pic.

One other snap she posted showed North in costume as Young Simba backstage, while another saw her posing with the character of Zazu. A further pic showed her with Jason Weaver, who sang as Young Simba in the 1994 animated movie and appeared in the live concert.

It was announced that North would join Disney’s The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event earlier this month.

The concert, which was a two-day live event, is set to soon air on Disney+, according to a press release.

North starred in the production alongside Heather Headley and Lebo M., as well as Jennifer Hudson, who appeared as a special guest. 

Franchise veterans Billy Eichner, Bradley Gibson, Ernie Sabella, Weaver, Jeremy Irons and Nathan Lane also appeared in the live concert performances.
