The Lion King at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Tickets

The musical adaptation, The Lion King entered the theater world with a distinctive technique; theater fans claim that the musical, ever since its premiere, had transcended the traditional boundaries of theater and transformed into more than just your typical play. With its usage and blend of dance, costume design, and especially animal puppetry, the musical grew to a very well-defined performance rivaling to numerous previous and future musicals. Because the narrative of this stage adaptation has animals as the characters, mainly the little lion cub Simba and exile and eventual return to his home, the most difficult task for the crew was to basically adapt a cartoon to live action without looking fake. Julie Taymor, the musical director, embraced this endeavor and also embraced the skill of creating puppets, masterfully using life-sized animal puppets onstage coupled with outfits and music displaying African culture that upgraded the Broadway classic.

Today, Disney's The Lion King has surely earned its position as one of the most sought-after plays in the world. With two tours globally that have been performing for over a decade and counting, and four other productions that have been performing for more than 20 years, the global musical carries on to entertain fans with its timeless story. It has been said to repeatedly pull in from both fans and theater experts alike across its tours, while garnering several awards and nominations, including Tony Awards and Helpmann Awards.

Since its premiere in Minneapolis, Minnesota in July 1997 and its following shift to Broadway, New York in October of the same year, the reach of The Lion King musical has also grown immensely. Spanning several tours for over two decades, it has been having runs in several locations with both local state tours and international seasons, consisting of locations in Europe such as Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, France, and even Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea in Asia to name a few in a very long list of locations.
