whittled down to resplendent live entertainment brought to life by
characters garbed in creative costumes and ambitious stage sets. An

spectacle.
Seating 1,375 persons, the
theatre is divided into 4 sections labeled as Elephant, Giraffe,
Warthog or Lion.The stages are really 4 huge moving floats. On it the
12-feet high figure of Simba sits on Pride Rock. In addition, there is
an elephant and a swaying giraffe.

and Timon-starrer. Buy Festival of The Lion King Tickets Online.A fold
of acrobatic performers helps bring to the stage the memorable “Hakuna
Matata”.
Also, the lilting “Can You Feel
the Love Tonight” is rendered as a stirring ballet piece, interpreted
by dancers suspended on air.
For the finale, over 50
performers garbed in brightly colored costumes converge to take the
audience’s breath away.

feature “The Lion King” is the highest-grossing traditionally animated
feature film of all time. A young lion cub named Simba is the film’s
protagonist.

Essentially the film is a
cathartic storyline revolving around the cub’s birthright to the throne
of Pride Rock. On a higher plane, he also deals with his role in the
so-called Circle of Life.
An adaptation of the film in a
28-minute song-and-dance extravaganza is only rational as the original
feature is presented like a musical itself. Songs from the film and
those used in the stage show are one and the same, written by composer
Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice. You can purchase Lion King Festival
