A Roaring Good Time with Disney’s ‘The Lion King’

10.12.15

By Kelley Moody

A childhood classic comes to life in the form of Disney’s Broadway hit "The Lion King." Seen by over 80 million audience members globally, The Lion King leaps to the Segerstrom stage in its 18th year of performances. This show is designed for children and adults of all ages and will take even the youngest theatergoer to the heartland of the African savannah. You can see a behind the scenes view here.

Dazzling costumes and masks created by Tony Award winner Julie Taymor places elephants, giraffes, and of course the king of the jungle into audience aisle ways and across the stage. With a transformative set, Simba travels throughout the Pride Lands finding adventure and friendship on his journey to confidence and self-acceptance. The show’s technical elements work in tandem with the score to bring the rhythms of Africa into the Western world. Academy Award winning music featuring Elton John and Tim Rice will keep audiences humming the vibrant tunes all the way home.

"The Lion King" boasts the greatest international gross of any film, Broadway show, or entertainment title in box office history. It can currently be seen in ten locations around the world and has been featured in 20 countries.
