Inspired by the Shakespearian drama Hamlet, The Lion King is the story of the young prince Simba as he learns the harsh lessons of the beautiful, but dangerous, serengeti. With his father's tutelage, Simba is introduced to the Circle of Life. It isn't long before his father, Mufasa, moves on in the circle himself, and his evil brother, Scar, assumes the throne. Simba's right to the throne poses an obstacle to Scar's plans to be king and he attempts to have Simba assassinated. Simba escapes to the jungle where he comes of age and prepares for his return to the serengeti to confront Scar and take back the throne.

The Lion King is a musical suitable for audiences of all ages; tender and strong, passionate and touching, it will steal your hearts and imagination.
