Based on the 1994 Disney animated film of the same name, the ever-popular musical The Lion King features songs written by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice. The musical score was created by Hans Zimmer with choral arrangements by Lebo M. Directed by Julie Taymor, the musical features actors in an array of animal costumes as well as giant puppets that masterfully move around the stage creating a magical feeling of being deep in the jungle.

Produced by Disney Theatrical, The Lion King debuted July 8, 1997, in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Orpheum Theatre. The production was an instant success before premiering on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theater on October 15, 1997.
