Disney’s The Lion King entered the theater stage with a masterful execution; many say that the show, ever since its opening night, had transcended the traditional boundaries of theater and transformed into more than the usual adaptation. With its usage and mix of dance, costume, and mainly 3D puppetry, the Broadway play turned into a very distinct musical matching up to to all previous and future musicals. Since the plot of this stage adaptation focuses on animals, specifically the young Lion Prince Simba and journey to becoming King of the Pride Lands, the most difficult task for the creative team was to bring this tale to life on stage without appearing fake. Julie Taymor, The Lion King’s director, embraced this task and equally embraced the art of creating puppets, expertly utilizing real animal puppets for the live depiction interspersed with African-inspired design elements that dignified the Broadway classic.
In current times, Disney's The Lion King has truly earned its position as one of the most successful shows in every country it has visited. With two tours worldwide that have been running for over a decade and counting, and four others that have been performing for more than 20 years, the longtime musical carries on to reach new audiences in new countries. The Broadway hit has gained consistently positive reviews from from both viewers and critics alike from its performances, while garnering endless awards and commendations, among many, Grammy Awards and Helpmann Awards.
Since its premiere in Minneapolis, Minnesota in July 1997 and subsequent move to Broadway, New York in October of the same year, the musical has become boundless with its tours over several countries. Spanning several tours for over two decades, it has been holding seasons in several locations with both local North American and international seasons, consisting of locations in Europe like Spain, United Kingdom, France, Germany, in addition to Singapore, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in Asia which only is a part of a very long record of regions.
The much-awaited approaching season of Disney’s The Lion King brings it to New York and will be performing in New York at Minskoff Theatre on Thursday 5th September 2024.
