Synopsis

A lively stage adaptation of the Academy Award®-winning 1994 Disney film, THE LION KING is the story of a young lion prince living in the flourishing African Pride Lands.

When an unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by Simba’s wicked uncle, Scar, takes his father’s life, Simba flees the Pridelands, leaving his loss and the life he knew behind. Eventually companioned by two hilarious and unlikely friends, Simba starts anew. But when the weight of responsibility and a desperate plea from the now ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult prince, Simba must take on a formidable enemy, and fulfill his destiny to be king.

Running time: 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission.

At the beginning of the show and at the beginning of the second act there is a large procession through the orchestra in the aisles. Please note this when choosing seat locations.
There are potentially scary moments in the first act with an onstage stampede and Mufasa falling from a cliff.
There are stairs at the edge of the stage that only the actors are meant to use. Please note this when choosing seat locations.
