Show Description:

This production is an all dance interpretation of the Disney Movie “The Lion King” which is an adaptation of the Broadway Musical by the same name, and features musical dance numbers. “The Lion King” presents the story of a lion cub’s journey to adulthood and acceptance of his royal destiny. Simba begins life as an honored prince, the son of the powerful King Mufasa. The cub’s happy childhood turns tragic when his evil uncle Scar, eliminates Mufasa and drives Simba away from the kingdom. In exile, the young lion befriends the comically bumbling pair of Pumbaa, the warthog and Timon, the meerkat and lives a carefree jungle life. As he approaches adulthood, however, he is visited by the spirit of his father, who instructs him to defeat the nefarious Scar and reclaim his rightful throne. Borrowing elements from Hamlet, classical mythology, and African folk tales, “The Lion King” tells its mythic coming-of-age tale with a combination of spectacular visuals and lively music, featuring light, rhythmic songs by Elton John and Tim Rice. We have created another all dance production in what we call a "Theatrical Ballet". It is our own interpretation of this beloved story.
