What to expect

Drawing on his own life and career and the rich lore of The Lion King, Alton Fitzgerald White, Broadway’s longest-running “King,” delivers his message of service—taking responsibility for and deriving happiness from commonplace achievements—as a philosophy that anyone can get through each day with satisfaction, pride, and a sense of accomplishment.

If you’ve ever wondered how an actor can perform the same role hundreds of times without burning out, in White’s book you’ll meet someone who does it for thousands more with unabated joy and renewal of purpose. From his life experience, White has learned the secret of tapping his inner resources to meet the challenge of routine and repetition in work and relationships.

Critics Review

  • “Alton Fitzgerald White, the actor who played Mufasa, the father of Simba in The Lion King, for an unprecedented number of performances on Broadway, delivers a delightful and beautiful narration of this audiobook. It’s part-memoir and part-life guide. Blessed with an irresistible honey-toned vocal quality, he tells of his troubled childhood with an alcoholic father and loving mother. Gradually, we learn of his training and ongoing preparation for becoming the first black actor to lead the Disney company in five Broadway hit musicals. His theme is the need for ongoing courage and thoughtful service to others and oneself. The encouragement and motivation demonstrated in White’s stories will be valued by listeners seeking success in any endeavor.”
