Disney’s THE LION KING heads back to South Florida!

Experience the phenomenon. Miami's most eagerly awaited stage production ever will leap onto the stage. Visually stunning, technically astounding and with a musical score like none other you've ever heard.

A lively Broadway stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning animated film, Disney’s THE LION KING is the story of Simba, a young lion prince born into the royal family, who idolizes his kingly father, Mufasa, while youthfully shirking the responsibility his position in life requires. 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. Simba starts anew, but eventually, the weight of responsibility comes to find the adult prince, and Simba must take on a formidable enemy and fulfill his destiny to be king. The score by Elton John and Tim Rice features the songs “The Circle of Life”, “Hakuna Matata” and “Can You Feel The Love Tonight.”

See the Tony® Award-winning Broadway sensation that Newsweek calls "a landmark event in entertainment." The New York Times says, "There is simply nothing else like it."

The North American touring production of Disney’s THE LION KING has been seen by over 13.5 million theatergoers and grossed over $875 million to date.

Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to life by a cast of more than 40 actors. Wonder at the inspiration of award-winning director Julie Taymor, who created visual images for this show that you'll remember forever.

Disney’s THE LION KING will be at the Ziff Ballet Opera House in downtown Miami, Florida from May 15 thru June 10, 2012.
