The Lion King On Tour Tickets
Set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains and to the evocative rhythms of Africa, Disney's multi award-winning musical uses breath-taking masks and puppetry to create pure theatrical magic. At its heart 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.
Julie Taymor, one of the world’s most innovative directors, brought a vast array of disciplines to THE LION KING, including extensive experience staging epic theatre and opera productions, exploring classic myths through ritualised puppetry, mask, and movement. THE LION KING was the first musical she directed on Broadway, and Taymor made history by becoming the first woman to win the Tony Award® for ‘Best Director of a Musical’.
Julie Taymor’s reimagining of Disney’s beloved animated film is a theatrical event you will never forget.
