Location Map of The Lion King
 
The Lion King tells the story of Simba - the epic adventure of his battles, his friendships, his dreams, and his journey from wide eyed cub to his destined role as King of the African Pridelands. It's the costumes and puppetry that have made this one of the most successful musicals of all time, as a whole menagerie of wild beasts are created from masks, stilts, and superb dancing. The ever-changing set, and the addition of Zulu chants to Elton John and Tim Rice's catchy songs all add to an extraordinary atmosphere. A triumphant, genre-defying adaptation, and one of the few family plays that is genuinely as much fun for adults as children.
