Close to 30 years back, the Disney animated classic amazed fans everywhere with its warm narrative of resolve and valor as it traces Simba's journey from his early lion cub years to his progression to the throne as King. Incorporating Swahili and Zulu, this musical impressively features five indigenous African languages, and the ensemble of performers involved is crucial in its success.

“Considering that The Lion King is extremely imbued with rhythms rooted in these [Gambian] traditions, sustaining enthusiasm for the show is effortless," explains Stefan Monssen, a percussionist educated in African techniques.
Variety commends on the musical, labeling it as a “new generation of felines” that keeps to dominate Broadway with storm. In this review, it is highlighted that the Walt Disney Company has efficiently positioned itself as a serious and ambitious player in the legitimate theater scene.

In a nutshell, Disney's "The Lion King" stands as a wonder, a theatrical achievement that exudes beauty, intelligence, and creativity. The live adaptation of the cherished 1994 animated feature outshines its source material in almost all dimensions, covering stunning visuals and compelling storytelling to the evocative score by Lebo M and the freshly Africanized pop songs composed by Elton John and Tim Rice.
