The Lion King Tickets Information
When you hear discussions of The Lion King tickets nowadays, it's doubtful it's the Oscar-sweeping animated Disney film that's being referred to. The Lion King tickets these days bring you straight into the heart of the African jungle where a lost young Prince is about to find the King living inside of him.

With The Lion King tickets currently granting access to performances all around the planet in cities like Shanghai, China; Hamburg, Germany; Tokyo, Japan; Scheveningen, Netherlands; London, United Kingdom, children and grown-ups alike are always thrilled to find themselves submerged in an all-encompassing set with a cast of more than 40 strutting giraffes, swooping birds, leaping gazelles and other vibrant and energetic jungle dwellers doing acrobatics through the aisles and overhead.

The Lion King musical stars:

- Tony nominee for the "The Green Bird", Derek Smith ("Ring Around the Moon", "Jackie", "Getting and Spending" and more) as Scar

- Original "The Who's Tommy" castmember Alton Fitzgerald White ("Miss Saigon", "Ragtime", "Smokey Joe's Café") as Mufasa

- Original "Jerome Robbins' Broadway" castmember Tom Alan Robbins ("Threepenny Opera", "Sunset Boulevard", "Once Upon A Mattress") as Pumba

- The original Timor, Danny Rutigliano, reprising that role

- Jeffrey Binder ("Side Man") as Zazu

Bringing back many of our favorite songs from The Lion King musical movie - like the Oscar winning soul-lifter "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - and adding a whole pride of new African rhythmic beats are the prolific team of Elton John and Tim Rice, who together also brought theatergoers "Aida", South African songwriter Lebo M., accomplished film scorer Hans Zimmer, and others.

Who could forget such timeless classics as the inspirational "The Circle of Life" and "Be Prepared", and the fun and lively "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" and "Hakuna Matata". Those familiar favorites are joined by a host of new hits such as "Chow Down", "They Live in You", "One by One", "Shadowland", and "Endless Night".

The Lion King Broadway's Director was also its Costume Designer and Mask/Puppet Co-Designer, Julie Taymor, for whom sweeping the Tony's was no new experience. In 1996 Taymor's Broadway debut "Juan Darien" picked up 5 Tony nominations.

With your The Lion King tickets you'll quickly rediscover how, beneath its Shakespearean plot of a jealous brother trying to usurp his elder brother's throne and the coming of age of the young cub who must survive long enough to stop him, is a universal lesson about the beautiful balance in nature and the interconnectedness of all things.
