President and Mrs. Bush hosted the evening, which honored Ghana's President John Kufuor and Mrs. Theresa Kufuor.
Tshidi Manye (Rafiki), Dashaun Young (Simba) and Kissy Simmons (Nala) were among the 11 members of the Broadway company to perform songs like "One by One," "Shadowland," "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," and "Circle of Life."
