It’s all “hakuna matata” — “no worries” — at PS 346 in Spring Creek, Brooklyn, where a “pride” of around 50 students in grades 3 to 5 performed an abridged version of Disney’s hit musical “The Lion King” on May 29. The aspiring young actors also performed at the Amsterdam Theater on Broadway on June 2. “For years, we’ve said there isn’t enough art in schools,” Chapter Leader Veronica Wilensky said. “The purpose of the production was to give the arts a more prominent focus in our school.” Wilensky, who has taught 4th grade at the school for nine years, said that students participating in the production didn’t just learn about musical theater, but also how “to express themselves in ways other than through their academics.” In some cases, she added, they uncovered talents they didn’t know they had. “A lot of our students really got to shine in this production,” she said. Christine Hoffmann, the school’s drama teacher, worked with music teacher Brittni Kaufman and dance teacher Teresa Slaughter VonRippon to win a grant from Disney, including the rights to perform “The Lion King.” Other teachers and staff members — around 20 in all — participated by helping with costumes, choreography, stage management and scenery. But it was the students, Hoffmann said, who did the lion’s share of the work. “Students rehearsed twice a week for 90 minutes and were expected to memorize acting lines, choreography and singing,” said Hoffman, who directed the show. “For anybody to do all three at once is very tricky. I’m over-the-moon proud of them. They blew my expectations away.” Songs performed in the show included “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Hakuna Matata,” “Circle of Life” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” among others. Disney filmed the performance for possible use in a commercial.
