Perhaps the best loved animated-film Disney Theatrical adaptation, the Lion King is one of the first of the Disney animated films to sell as many if not more tickets than their film originals. The Lion King retells the story of Simba and the Circle of Life without the benefit of groundbreaking animation. Instead the equally inventive costume and set creations by Richard Hudson, Julie Taymor, and Michael Curry bring the animals and the jungle to its legendary believability.
The use of animal costumes and gigantic hollow puppets has the audience lost in wonder as the elephants, giraffes, lions, hyenas, and birds stroll around the prairie. The Lion King's Tony and Olivier Award winning design is alone worth the purchase of tickets, but the story of a young cub struggling to grow up against tragic circumstances is really what makes the musical. The book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi with music and lyrics by Elton John and Tim Rice helped make the adaptation an instant classic. The classic has touched the shores North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa since its debut in 1997.
The Lion King is so loved that it still sells tickets at London's Lyceum Theatre nine years after it opened and only moved from Broadway's New Amsterdam Theater in 2006 after a nine year run to let Disney alumnus Mary Poppins take over the stage. The Lion King has made changes to the set design as it has toured the nation and changed venues, but has also changed aspects of the story that make the musical version truly separate from the unforgettable film.
Lion King Musical
The Lion King starts out with a young cub Simba looking over his kingdom (the Pride Land) from Pride Rock. He grows up trying to be brave like his father, King Mufasa, but feels guilt and responsibility over Mufasa's death, which was really a plot by the would be king, his uncle Scar. This was unknown to the Simba as he runs away, assumed dead by his uncle and his hyena minions.
While Simba grows up scavenging insects with friends Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog, the Pride Land has fallen into a drought as Scar has presumably ignored the delicate balance of nature that allows the safari to thrive. Simba returns with the help of childhood friend Nala. The expanded role of Nala and the changing of the religious guide Rafiki from male to female was an attempt to equalize the balance of gender roles to some effect and several scenes are expanded upon or added to illustrate the depth of Simba's anguish. The Lion King is still a compelling story worth buying tickets to, whether on the big screen or on the stage.
The Lion King Musical has truly become a universal success that is bound by no stage and no language as Lion King tickets proved once again to be worthy of critical acclaim and lavish awards more than a decade after debuting on Broadway. In 2008 the musical won three Moliere Awards for the French version of the Lion King. The Moliere Awards are the equivalent of the Olivier Awards in London and the Tony Awards in New York.
