About The Lion King Tickets

In 1994, Disney released a new animated movie. Featuring music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, and African rhythms by Lebo M, a stage adaptation of The Lion King opened in Minneapolis, MN, in the summer of 1997 at the Orpheum Theatre. A few months later, Julie Taymor directed the Broadway hit at the New Amsterdam Theater. The musical won several Tony Awards, including Best Choreography, and included a wildebeest stampede, puppetry, and animal characters.

The musical is currently playing at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway and on tour around the world. Children of all ages appreciate tunes like "Hakuna Matata" and characters such as Zazu, Rafiki, Timon and Pumbaa. Who will rule the African Pride Lands? Find out with The Lion King tickets.
