The Lion King is a Broadway musical adaptation of Disney’s animated film that brings the story of Simba to life through a large-scale, theatrical spectacle. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions and directed/designed by Julie Taymor, the show is notable for its inventive puppetry, choreography, and rich score by Elton John and Tim Rice. It plays at the Minskoff Theatre in Midtown Manhattan and is widely recognized as one of Broadway’s longest-running and most commercially successful productions.
