“I just can’t wait to be king!”
Disney’s The Lion King has captivated the imagination of audiences around the world, and now we have the opportunity to produce this one-of-a-kind musical on the Gladstone stage! The African savanna comes to life with Simba, Rafiki, Nala, Timon, Pumba, Scar and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle and back again in this inspiring, coming-of-age tale.
Disney’s The Lion King features classic songs from the Broadway musical and animated feature film, including “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “He Lives in You,” and “Hakuna Matata.” Our performers will also get the chance to learn a wide range of new theatrical skills—such as mask-making and puppetry—as we explore this beloved story with creativity and pride. With epic costumes and puppets created by Donna Bourgeault of Sunny Shenanigans, this show promises to be one of the most epic ever!
