WHAT IS THE LION KING MUSICAL ABOUT?

A spectacular visual feast, this adaptation of Disney’s classic film transports audiences to a dazzling world that explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music. At the heart of this award-winning musical is the powerful and moving story of Simba – the epic adventure of his journey from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.

Brilliantly reimagined by acclaimed director Julie Taymor, Disney's beloved film has been transformed into a spectacular theatrical experience that explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music. As the sun rises and the city reawakens, watch in awe as giraffes strut, gazelles leap and birds swoop bringing the Serengeti, and the story of Simba, to life all around you… 

Set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains and to the evocative rhythms of Africa, Disney's landmark musical with ingenious puppetry, stunning effects and the enchanting music by Elton John, Tim Rice and Lebo M will redefine your expectations of theatre…
