Lion King Denver | Buell Theatre
|
Prepare the way for Disney’s Broadway pride, ‘The Lion King’, as it pounces its way to the Buell Theatre in Denver this fall for a month-long engagement, from November 4 to 29, 2015.
Feel the love and dance to the “Circle of Life” as Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa and the rest of Pride Rock discover the meaning of friendship, loyalty, honesty, humility, unity and the value of family, responsibility and accountability. Engage your senses with Tony Award winner Julie Taymor’s vision and direction, which captures the vast and breathtaking scenery of the African Safari and the likeness and realism of the creatures that rule over it. If you loved the original animated film, then you’ll love this long-running Broadway hit that’s now on tour, because as Newsweek writes, this musical is “a landmark event in entertainment”.
Show times for ‘The Lion King’ are at 7:30 PM from Tuesdays to Saturdays and 6:30 PM on Sundays. Matinee performances are at 2 PM on Saturdays and 1 PM on Sundays. Preview performances are on November 2 and 3. The performance running time is 2 hours and 45 minutes with 1 intermission.
