The Lion King July 19, 2008

This acclaimed production is based on the animated Disney movie, but is quite different from the film. From the startling opening, featuring life-sized animal representations taking over the stage to pay tribute to Mufasa, the lion king, this is a unique theatrical experience that tries to make a statement about the cycle of life and death in the wilderness. The music is by Elton John and Tim Rice, and some of the songs include 'Circle of Life' and 'Hakuna Matata.'
