London Theatre - The Lion King
With a cast of more 40 actors, singers and dancers, Disney's Lion King is miraculously brought to life using masks, puppets and striking costumes that tell the story of young Simba's epic adventures as he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and becoming king. A team of designers drew on diverse cultural influences to recreate the rich colours and vast expanses of the African savannah in this daring and inspiring reinvention of one of the most successful animated films of all time.
