About The Show

More than 65 million people around the world have discovered the thrill, the majesty, the truly one-of-a-kind musical that is THE LION KING. Julie Taymor’s reimagining of Disney’s beloved animated film is a theatrical event you will never forget.

Set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains to the evocative rhythms of Africa, this spectacular production explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects, and enchanting music to tell the timeless story of Simba and his epic journey to fulfil his destiny as King of the Pridelands.

THE LION KING reigns as one of the most popular stage musicals in the world, having earned more than 70 major arts awards including six Tony Awards® and a Grammy®; and recently became the highest-grossing Broadway show in history and only the second show to generate five productions around the world running over ten years. Get ready, THE LION KING is set to astonish a whole new generation of Australians.

“Nevermind what you may have heard about this show – it’s even better! THE LION KING is a stunning piece of visual poetry and storytelling art as you’re ever likely to see on stage.” The Hollywood Reporter.
