The Lion King reigns triumphantly into its fourth season at the legendary Théâtre Mogador in Paris continuing its streak as one of the world’s most hit musicals. With over 110 million audience members worldwide, this multi-award-winning Disney masterpiece is a breathtaking fusion of theater, music, and visual artistry.
Directed by visionary Julie Taymor, the production is renowned for its groundbreaking puppetry and majestic, African-inspired costumes, bringing the Serengeti to life with over 200 handcrafted masks, intricate headdresses, and elaborate animal creations. The stunning set design, with its shifting landscapes, vibrant sunrises, and cascading stampedes, immerses audiences in a world both mythical and deeply evocative. With music by Elton John and Tim Rice, featuring classics like Circle of Life, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, and Hakuna Matata, the score is further enriched by the rhythmic percussions and traditional African chants of South African composer Lebo M. Winner of 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy, The Lion King has been hailed as “A breathtaking spectacle” (The Times) and “One of the most visually stunning shows ever made” (The Guardian).
Under the golden sun of the African savanna, young Simba is destined to follow in his father Mufasa’s steps. But when his treacherous uncle Scar seizes the throne, Simba flees into exile, finding unlikely friends in the carefree duo Timon and Pumbaa. As he matures, he must confront his past, embrace his destiny, and restore balance to the Circle of Life. Will he step up and claim the throne that is rightfully his?
