Movie lovers back in 1997 came to see it and left the theatres in awe and exhilaration. Eighteen years later, its musical adaptation had the same effect on audiences with its larger than life production composed of epic set designs, roaring production numbers, vibrant and awesome costumes, and a story transcending vast lands and kingdoms. This is the spectacular musical adaptation of the Disney classic, “The Lion King”.
