With over 110 million audience members worldwide, this multi-award-winning Disney masterpiece is a breathtaking fusion of theater, music, and visual artistry.

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).

Roosevelt. Known for its blend of French charm and British music hall architecture, it gained fame with performances like "Ballet Russes" and operettas starring Mistinguett.
