A lively stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning 1994 Disney film, The Lion King is the story of a young lion prince living in the flourishing African Pride Lands. When an unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by Simba’s wicked uncle, Scar, takes his father’s life, Simba flees the Pride Lands, leaving his loss and the life he knew behind. Eventually companioned by two hilarious and unlikely friends, Simba starts anew. But when weight of responsibility and a desperate plea from the now ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult prince, Simba must take on a formidable enemy, and fulfill his destiny to be king.

Know Before You Go

Winner of six Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Disney's The Lion King showcases the talents of one of the most acclaimed creative teams on Broadway. Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor reimagines the popular story using some of the theater's most extraordinary stagecraft. The Lion King also features the exceptional work of Tony Award-winning choreographer Garth Fagan and a glorious score crafted by the Tony Award-winning songwriting team of Elton John and Tim Rice.

"The breathtakingly staged Broadway adaptation of Disney's king of the cartoon jungle is an instant theater classic." Entertainment Weekly Chris Willman

"Awe-inspiring! Broadway theater is alive again. [Julie] Taymor's imaginative ideas seem limitless. it's a gorgeous, gasp-inducing spectacle. Most important - against all odds - it has innocence. The show appeals to our primal, childlike excitement in the power of theater to make us see things afresh." Time Magazine Richard Zoglin

"Seen purely as a visual tapestry, there is simply nothing else like it. Suddenly, you're 4 years old again, and you've been taken to the circus for the first time. You can only marvel at the exotic procession of animals before you: the giraffes and the elephants and the hippopotamuses and all those birds in balletic flight. Such is the transporting magic wrought by the opening 10 minutes of The Lion King, [director Julie] Taymor has introduced a whole new vocabulary of images to the Broadway blockbuster." The New York Times Ben Brantley

"A jaw-dropping magnificent spectacle. The show and the playhouse are enchanting. The unprecedented production is worth every penny. If this is Disney's idea of a theme park, we are delighted to report that the theme is quality." Newsday Linda Winer

"Julie Taymor's staging of Disney's The Lion King is a marvel, a theatrical achievement unrivaled in its beauty, brains and ingenuity. Leaping far beyond its celluloid inspiration, the stage version improves upon nearly every aspect of the hit 1994 animated film, from visual artistry and storytelling to Lebo M's score and the newly African-ized pop songs of Elton John and Tim Rice." Variety Greg Evans

“The Lion King” brings the magic of Broadway to Fox Theatre

Sloan Salinas on October 11, 2024 in Entertainment

Over the years, there have been many musical adaptations of popular movies. But from films that already had music — like “The Little Mermaid” or “Newsies” — to those that did not — like “Mean Girls” or “Heathers” — none of these shows can compare to “The Lion King.” 

First taking the stage in 1997, the beloved Disney masterpiece is the third longest-running Broadway musical. The first U.S. tour of the musical launched in 2002 and since then, it has gone on to win 70 major awards, including six Tony Awards — best choreography, lighting design, scenic design, costume design, direction and best musical overall — and a Grammy for “Best Musical Show Album.” Now, twenty-two years since its first trip around the United States, the touring cast is back in Atlanta to perform at the Fox Theatre through late October. 

The show opened on Oct. 2, and despite it being a weekday, the theater was still packed with people. Those who had already seen the show were eager to see it again, and some were seeing it for the first time. Parents were bringing their children for their first ever musical, and couples held hands as they found their seats for date night. 

When seeing “The Lion King,” it does not matter that audiences are sitting in a Georgia theater rather than a New York one because they are still in for a breathtaking Broadway experience. The two-and-a-half-hour show features all the songs from the 1994 film, plus songs solely found within the musical. Many of these additional songs feature more emphasis on African languages. 

Throughout the show, a total of six Indigenous African languages are spoken and sung: Swahili, Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana and Congolese. In addition, musicians  playing various traditional instruments can be seen on both sides of the stage. The incorporation of musical and linguistic elements of African culture adds a richness and beauty to the original content of the story and sometimes even strengthens the impact of certain emotional scenes, as most in the audience cannot understand what is being said but can still hear enough raw emotion in the words and harmonies to give them chills. Songs like “Shadowland” and “He Lives In You (Reprise)” deliver particularly moving scenes that were not in the original movie, and they add something to the story that audience members do not even realize is missing until it has been filled. 

One of the things that “The Lion King” is arguably most known for is the show’s costuming. From layered, patterned earth-toned textiles to the elaborate headdresses, the costumes are created to give actors Darnell Abraham (Mufasa), Jennifer Theriot (Sarabi), Peter Hargrave (Scar), Erick D. Patrick (Simba) and Thembelihle Cele (Nala) the ability to bring the leading lions to life. 

The brilliance of the costumes is not just limited to the main group of actors, however. Other performers during the show represent multiple communities of the planet, from the animals to even the various plants. When the costumes were being designed before the show opened in the late 90s, substantial effort was put into researching natural (or natural-looking) materials and tribal styles and patterns to give each and every costume the feel of coming from the grasslands of Africa. It is very easy to see how much care was put into the costume design in order to not simply recreate the animated characters but also carry the cultural representation throughout every element of the show. 

The rest of the pridelands are brought to the stage through the use of 232 puppets of varying kinds. These puppets are engineered to show not only the animal they are meant to be but also the actors that maneuver them. Being able to see both the animal and the actor allows viewers to see the beauty in the costume design as well as the grace and skillful artistry of the actor.

The puppets range from being movable via poles to being fully worn by the ensemble. From fourteen foot giraffe costumes that require stilts, to twenty-five pound wearable zebras and an elephant that requires four actors to maneuver, each animal has incredible detailing, regardless of if they are onstage for one song or five. 

Seeing “The Lion King” live is truly an immersive experience, with actors coming down the aisles at several parts throughout the show, pop cultural references peppered into the script and several characters (namely Rafiki) even talking directly to the crowd. People laughed, cried, held their breaths in anticipation and, of course, finished the night with an exuberant standing ovation. 

At the heart of every musical, however, is its cast. Through them, the characters become real, subtly evolving to each specific actor, the same, yet different — but always awe-inspiring. The traveling cast of “The Lion King” is jam-packed with talent from the leading actors to the ensemble and understudies. 

Perfect for all ages, this unforgettable show is considered to be the most successful musical worldwide and before the opening song ends, audiences will be able to explain why. “The Lion King” will be running at the Fox Theatre until Oct. 20 and tickets can be found at https://lionking.com/tour/ .
