Celebrate the Circle of Life: The Lion King at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

 

Giraffes strut. Birds swoop. Gazelles leap. The entire Serengeti comes to life as never before. And as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly emerges from the mist. This is Disney’s The Lion King, making its triumphant return to the Pantages Theatre! More than 127 million people around the world have experienced the awe-inspiring visual artistry, unforgettable music, and uniquely theatrical storytelling of this Broadway spectacular.

 

Let your imagination run wild when you join us to experience this visually stunning phenomenon with a musical score like none other. Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals miraculously brought to life by the stage wizardry of Julia Taymor and a cast of over 40 actors as they tell a story filled with hope and adventure. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pridelands and an iconic score including Elton John and Tim Rice's Oscar-winning songs like "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "Circle of Life."

 

Prior to the show, you'll have time for lunch on your own at LA's Original Farmers Market, full of numerous delicious dining options. This historic destination invites you to explore at your own pace, sampling from dozens of food stalls and eateries offering everything from timeless comfort food to international favorites, all within a setting rich with character and charm.

 

Your excursion includes reserved R/L Center Orchestra seating for the matinee performance. Don't miss one of the most breathtaking and beloved productions ever to grace the stage!
