Review: THE LION KING Reigns Supreme at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts

And if we are remembered, then we live forever. Disney’s The Lion King transposes this message from screen to stage through an international collaboration of talent that supercedes the strength of the 1994 animated film from which it came.
