The acclaimed musical is coming to Birmingham Hippodrome.

DISNEY'S THE LION KING

Disney's The Lion King is a worldwide theatrical phenomenon, seen by over 65 million people and still drawing sell-out crowds at London’s Lyceum Theatre in its 14th year. In June 2013 this acclaimed production will begin a limited season at Birmingham Hippodrome as part of its first UK tour.

Ingeniously adapted from Disney’s classic film, this spectacular production explodes with glorious colours and stunning effects, all set to the enchanting rhythms of Africa.

With dazzling staging and highly imaginative costumes, masks and puppets, The Lion King uses breathtaking theatrical magic to tell the story of Simba’s epic journey to reclaim his kingdom.

Went to London to see the lion king show, it was amazing, we went as a party with my 3 sisters and 2 two nieces, it was a surprise birthday weekend for our mum/mamma 70th,(25/02/2013) and we were blown away with all that they did, well done to all the cast involved with this production. Money well spent!!
