The Lion King is a Tony- and Olivier Award–winning Broadway musical adaptation of the Disney film, produced by Disney Theatrical Productions and featuring music by Elton John with lyrics by Tim Rice. It employs Julie Taymor’s acclaimed direction and inventive puppetry, masks, and stagecraft to evoke the African savannah in a visually striking theatrical production. The show is presented at the Minskoff Theatre in Midtown Manhattan on Broadway, where it is one of the best-known and longest-running productions in New York theatre.
