Hi all! Curiosity question... Is there a difference between the tour production of Lion King and the Broadway production? I've seen Aladdin both ways and there's a couple staging differences, mostly with the Cave of Wonders. Wondering if the same applies to Lion King. Thanks!!

On Broadway Pride Rock rises from the floor.

Also, the stage has plenty of platforms that rise as well, including upstage that tilts up a bit, which use to be on tour as well. And besides some trap doors for Hakuna Matata, that's kinda it.

yes, what they said, it really is nothing noticeable unless you are very familiar with the original.
