by Linda Hodges and Nick Hodges - Sep 15, 2015


Broadway San Jose at the Center for the Performing Arts plays host to Disney's THE LION KING now through October 4 only.

by Caroline Sposto - Feb 9, 2015


It's only fair to start with a confession: I have purposely avoided seeing 'The Lion King' on stage for seventeen years. You see, when the Disney movie came out (1994) I was raising two small children. (If you need further explanation, ask any parent shepherding tots through Frozen Mania.)

by Finny (Amanda Finn) - Nov 14, 2014


Poetry. A show that inspires beyond one's capabilities of speech is described as poetic genius. Disney's Broadway hit musical The Lion King is nothing short of pure poetry.
