Get ready, because The Lion King is leaping onto the stage at the Minskoff Theatre on Saturday 20th April 2024! After touring for 21 years, this stunning visual spectacle keeps traveling all around North America.
Almost 30 years in the past, the Disney animated classic enthralled fans around the globe with its heartwarming story of perseverance and bravery as it traces Simba's adventure from his early lion cub years to his progression to the throne as King. Showcasing Swahili and Zulu, this musical strikingly features five indigenous African languages, and the ensemble of performers engaged plays a vital role in its success.
“Seeing as The Lion King is extremely imbued with rhythms rooted in these [Gambian] traditions, sustaining enthusiasm for the show is effortless," reveals Stefan Monssen, a percussionist educated in African techniques.
Variety expresses admiration on the musical, calling it as a “new generation of felines” that persists to dominate Broadway through force. In this evaluation, it is noted that the Walt Disney Company has successfully positioned itself as a serious and ambitious player in the legitimate theater scene.
In simple terms, Disney's "The Lion King" serves as a phenomenon, a theatrical feat that exudes beauty, smartness, and innovation. The live adaptation of the cherished 1994 animated film exceeds its source material in nearly all dimensions, embracing remarkable visuals and compelling storytelling to the evocative score by Lebo M and the freshly African-imbued pop songs composed by Elton John and Tim Rice.
All stage productions are highly recommended at the Minskoff Theatre in New York. With advanced acoustics and a grand platform, the venue in New York offers the perfect setting for fully experiencing a definitive Lion King presentation.
