Tonight, Delco's Donovan Louis Bazemore realizes his dream and debuts on Broadway as Young Simba in The Lion King.
When Donovan Louis Bazemore was 7 or 8 — no one quite remembers — his parents took him to see his first Broadway show,“I just saw a bunch of grownups in the show at first,” said Donovan, 10, who is from Upper Chichester, Delaware County. “And then I saw a kid run out on stage and my eyes lit up. I was like, ‘That’s a child! On stage! On Broadway!’ ”On Tuesday night, Donovan fulfills that goal, making his Broadway debut as Young Simba inDonovan has the arts in his blood.
Since Donovan got the role in January, he and Dawn Marie have been staying in an apartment in Weehawkin, N.J., convenient to New York’s theater district. Dwight, and the other children, Donato, 18, and Dani, 5, are still in Pennsylvania, but visit. While Donovan is performing, Dawn Marie is working towards her doctorate from Columbia University.
Donovan’s schedule includes Saturday and Sunday matinees and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. But he has to be in the theater for all performances in case the other Young Simba gets sick. Mondays are his day off. .
