On August, it adds one other to its visited locations as The Lion King will be touring in Minskoff Theatre at New York on Tuesday 20th August 2024!
The renowned musical, since its first production and transfer to the live stage in 1997, has changed the landscape of Broadway and theater entirely.

In quick fashion after its debut, Disney's The Lion King was nominated for over 20 awards, winning 6 Tonys at the time comprising of Best Musical, Best Scenic Design (by Richard Hudson), Best Choreography (by Garth Fagan), Best Lighting Design (by Donald Holder), Best Direction of a Musical and Best Costume Design (by Julie Taymor).

In the show's multiple seasons and shows in several countries, it has been granted awards by numerous bodies including but not limited to the NY Drama Critics Circle, The Grammys, the Laurence Olivier Awards, the Molière Awards, and the Helpmann Awards.
