In 1994 Disney's animated feature The Lion King was the cartoon movie that broke barriers and was popular with adults and children.

Now 20 years on the boards this lavish musical continues to inspire, empower and entertain.

Since the dawn of theater, even in it's most nascent forms, audiences have marveled at spectacular moments brought to life on stage. Throughout their history, plays and musicals have utilized the talents of theater artists and professionals to do what may have seemed impossible. Today, modern technology makes it possible to dig even deeper into our imaginations and bring to life what's found there. Few shows have excited and fulfilled our collective imagination the way The Lion King has and the touring production currently playing at the Civic Center remains as spectacular as ever.
