"nothing prepares you for the sheer impact" - NY Times




Directed and designed by Julie Taymor, The Lion King is an awe-inspiring, spectacular journey through the African savannah, with more than forty actors working with large-scale puppets to bring a menagerie of jungle animals to live. Taymor’s stunning designs earned her an Olivier Award for Best Costume, with the production winning a massive six Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director.
