Through our continuing rigorous testing protocols, breakthrough COVID-19 cases have been detected within the company of The Lion King at The Buell Theatre in Denver.

Again, we are terribly sorry for the disappointment this may cause and appreciate our audiences' understanding that these tough decisions are made with health and safety at the forefront."
