Celebrate the Circle of Life in this timeless story of courage, friendship, and destiny.
The African savannah comes to life on stage in Disney’s The Lion King JR. This one-of-a-kind musical has captivated the imagination of audiences around the world.

We will follow the rise of Simba, a young lion cub who will succeed his father, Mufasa, as King of the Pride Lands. But after Simba’s malevolent uncle, Scar, kills Mufasa and tricks Simba into believing he caused it, Simba flees!
Along the way he encounters charismatic meerkat Timon and loveable warthog Pumbaa who help mature him into a grown lion who eventually returns to confront Scar and claim his rightful place on the throne, saving his beloved Pride Lands.

The Disney’s Lion King JR. features classic songs from the 1994 film such as “Hakuna Matata” and the Academy Award®-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” as well as additional songs penned for the Broadway production.

Performed by a cast of over 58 amazingly talented young performers, this spectacular musical with stunning costumes, fantastic music, and a beautiful story is a must-see musical - great for the whole family.
