About The Lion King

The Lion King turned Disney's 1994 animated landmark into something the stage had never seen. Director Julie Taymor reimagined the film as living theater, with actors in animal costumes, giant hollow puppets, giraffes walking on stilts, and mechanical headpieces that rise and drop to make the lions feel real. The musical debuted at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis on July 8, 1997, opened on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre that November, and moved to the Minskoff Theatre in 2006. More than 11,000 Broadway performances later, it stands as the third longest-running show in Broadway history and a flagship of Disney Theatrical Productions.

The score is what sets The Lion King apart from every other Disney stage adaptation. Elton John and Tim Rice's film songs sit alongside new material from Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Tsidii Le Loka, Julie Taymor, and Hans Zimmer, and much of the music is sung partially or entirely in African languages. That choral foundation, paired with Garth Fagan's choreography, gives the production a sound and a physical language all its own. The original Broadway cast recording captured it so well that it went platinum.

The reach is global. The London production opened at the Lyceum Theatre in October 1999 and has passed 10,000 performances, and stagings have appeared on six continents, including runs in Hamburg, Madrid, Paris, São Paulo, Shanghai, Sydney, Tokyo, and Johannesburg. More than 124 million people have seen The Lion King live. More than 25 years after its Broadway debut, the show remains a fixture of the theater landscape, and that endurance is why The Lion King tickets stay in demand wherever it plays.

What songs are in The Lion King musical?

The Lion King blends the film's Elton John and Tim Rice hits with songs written specifically for the stage. The full score spans both worlds:
  • From the 1994 film: "Circle of Life," "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," "Be Prepared," "Hakuna Matata," and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight."
  • New for the stage: "They Live in You," "One by One," "The Madness of King Scar," "Shadowland," "Endless Night," and "He Lives in You."
Much of the score is sung partially or entirely in African languages, which gives The Lion King its signature sound in every city it plays.

What records has The Lion King musical set?

The Lion King is the highest-grossing Broadway production of all time, with more than $2 billion grossed on Broadway alone. The milestone list goes well beyond that:
  • Top-earning title in box-office history: more than $11 billion grossed worldwide across stage works and films, a distinction it claimed by passing The Phantom of the Opera in September 2014.
  • Longevity: the third longest-running show in Broadway history with more than 11,000 performances, while the London production has passed 10,000 at the Lyceum Theatre.
  • Global audience: more than 124 million people have seen The Lion King worldwide.
The show's box office history is the clearest explanation for why The Lion King tickets stay in demand year after year.

How many awards has The Lion King musical won?

The original Broadway production of The Lion King won six Tony Awards in 1998, including Best Musical. The full Tony haul:
  • Best Musical
  • Best Direction of a Musical, which made Julie Taymor the first woman to win the award
  • Best Choreography (Garth Fagan)
  • Best Scenic Design (Richard Hudson)
  • Best Costume Design (Julie Taymor)
  • Best Lighting Design (Donald Holder)
The recognition stretched far beyond New York. The Lion King also took the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical, two Laurence Olivier Awards for the original London production, Molière Awards for the Paris production, and Helpmann Awards for the Australian production.

What is fan culture like around The Lion King musical?

The Lion King has built one of the broadest and most multigenerational followings in live theater. The show has been running since 1997, long enough that fans who saw it as kids now return with their own families, and it is one of the few productions where The Lion King tickets work equally well for a child's first musical and a grandparent's fifth visit. A few things define the community:
  • A worldwide footprint: productions have played on six continents, and the Tokyo staging has passed 10,000 performances, making it the second longest-running musical in Japan.
  • Deep African roots: the first production on the African continent opened in Johannesburg in June 2007 with a cast of 53, all South African performers, and the score's African choral music keeps that heritage at the heart of every staging.
  • Staging worth a second look: giraffes on stilts, mechanical lion headpieces, and life-sized puppets reward return visits with details that first-timers often miss.
That mix of spectacle and heart is why The Lion King fandom keeps growing on every continent the show touches.
