Artist Disney's The Lion King: National Tour

After Disney’s Oscar-winning animated mega-hit, and a 15-year Broadway run (and counting), there are few sentient beings unaware of the story of how Simba battles his uncle Scar to became king of the Pride Lands. But in many ways, the plot is beside the point: The Lion King’s stage show is still going strong because of its extravagant production values and a catchy set of songs written by Elton John and Tim Rice. The ornate and complicated costumes only take a backseat to now-standards like “Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and “Circle Of Life.”
