The best family show to have ever appeared on Broadway, the Lion King Musical narrates the famous epic journey of the wide-eyed lion cub, Simba, created by Disney in 1994, originally in the form of an animated character! The entire credit for bringing this animated story to life, in theaters, goes to internationally acclaimed designer and mythical staging director, Julie Taymor.

This spectacular visual feast, in the form of Lion King Musical, adapted from the much-loved animated version of the story, transports you to a whole new world exploding with colors, captivating music and action-filled adventure through the African Savannah! The rich mythology of the story, combined with its powerful action and native African rhythms, create a fantastic musical show that has been totally unprecedented in Broadway before! Under the helm of Julie Taymor, the show has been a big hit throughout the world and Lion King Theater tickets are still in hot demand, even after the show has been running successfully in theaters for almost 10 years.

The ...
... Lion King Musical

Premiered for the very first time in July 1997, at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis, MN, the Lion King Musical went on to bag six Tony awards straight in 1998. With Lion King Theater tickets selling like hot chocolate sundae, the show belted the awards for the Best Musical, Best Director, Best Choreography, Best Scenic Design, Best Costume Design and Best Lighting Design.

The production team consisted of Director Julie Taymor, Choreographer Garth Fagan, Set Designer - a native Zimbabwean - Richard Hudson, Puppet Expert Michael Curry, Lyricist Tim Rice and Musicians Elton John, Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, and Hans Zimmer. Together, they managed to create history with this production.

Music and Sets

This memorable score includes the Oscar-winning composition of Elton John and Tim Rice - "Can You Feel The Love Tonight". The Lion King Musical has received some dazzling reviews for its music. People who have watched the show say that the music is simply awesome! It is one of the most brilliantly inspiring pieces ever played on Broadway! And the live orchestra thrills to the core! Infact, the entire Musical is so catchy, that people find themselves singing along with it!

And not only the music, the acting, dancing and singing are all simply amazing! The set designs are a revolution in theater, bringing on to stage the vastly sweeping elements of the African Savannah! The most dramatic scene in The Lion King, the stampede, in which Scar kills his brother Mufasa, was the most difficult to enact on the stage. Set Designer Richard Hudson created the illusion of thousands of wild beasts, rushing straight at Simba - and at the audience - with the help of a canvas scroll and a number of large rollers. The effect on the audience is simply electrifying!

So come and see Disney's magic showcased live on stage at your nearest theater tonight. Book your Lion King Theater tickets online through an authorized ticket broker and step out for an enchanted evening full of entertainment for you and your entire family.
