Since its Broadway debut in 1997, The Lion King has reigned as one of the most successful musicals of all time, earning six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and becoming Broadway’s highest-grossing show, surpassing $1 billion. Directed by Julie Taymor, who made history as the first woman to win a Tony for Best Direction, the production is a visual masterpiece, featuring over 200 handcrafted puppets, elaborate masks, and hand-painted costumes that bring the African savanna to life. The Oscar-winning score by Elton John and Tim Rice, infused with African rhythms by Lebo M., includes iconic songs like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "He Lives in You."

Did you know? It took 37,000 hours to create the show’s masks and puppets, and each costume is hand-painted, making every piece unique! Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, this Broadway legend continues to roar across the world.

Disney’s The Lion King follows the journey of Simba, a young lion prince destined to rule the Pride Lands. When his father, Mufasa, is tragically killed, Simba is manipulated into exile by his villainous uncle, Scar, who seizes the throne. Lost and alone, Simba finds refuge with the carefree duo Timon and Pumbaa, embracing a worry-free life far from his royal past. But as he grows, he’s confronted with a choice—stay in hiding or reclaim his destiny. With the truth about Mufasa’s death finally revealed, Simba must face his greatest challenge yet… but will he be strong enough to take back what’s rightfully his?
