Description:

Celebrate the Circle of Life with the entire family! Based on the beloved animated feature and the stunning Broadway musical, Disney’s The Lion King JR. brings the majestic world of the African savanna right to our theater.

Follow the epic adventures of Simba, a prince struggling to accept the responsibilities of his identity and his destiny as king. Along the way, he befriends the charismatic Timon and the lovable Pumbaa, finds wisdom and guidance from the prophet-like Rafiki, and ultimately confronts the deceit of his wicked Uncle Scar.

This inspiring production is a powerful story about redemption, restoration, and finding our true place in the world—a timeless message that points to the ultimate plan of a greater King who came to bring us home.
