The Lion King is a Tony Award and Olivier Award-winning musical based on the 1994 Disney film of the same name with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice, along with the lively music of Hans Zimmer choral arrangements Lebo M. Perhaps the most beloved Disney Theatrical film adaptation, The Lion King is one of the first of the Disney cartoons, so many, if not sell tickets more than their original film.
Director: Julie Taymor, the musical features actors in animal costumes and giant, hollow puppets. The use of these costumes and giant puppets hollow has the audience in amazement as the elephants, giraffes, lions, hyenas and birds walk around the prairie. The Lion King’s Tony and Olivier Award-winning design alone is worth the purchase of tickets, but the story of a young cub struggling to grow up is really against the tragic circumstances that makes the musical. The book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi with music and lyrics by Elton John and Tim Rice, the adaptation an instant classic.
The Classic is the Bank of North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa touched since his debut in July 8, 1997 in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Orpheum Theatre, and was an instant success before the premiere on Broadway in New Amsterdam Theatre 15 Previews in October 1997 with the official opening on 13 November 1997. The Lion King tells the story of Simba, and the circle of life without the benefit of the groundbreaking animation. Instead of the equally inventive costume design by Richard Hudson, Julie Taymor and Michael Curry gave the animals a jungle up to the legendary credibility.
