The internationally acclaimed Disney musical The Lion King will be setting the stage ablaze on Mar 3 next year and tickets are now on sale to the public. Ticket prices range from $65-240 and are available for purchase at www.thelionking.com.sg, the Marina Bay Sands box office and all Sistic outlets. There is also a signature Lion King package available at www.marinabaysands.com.

The Lion King first wowed audiences in 1994 when it was produced as an animated film. In 1997, director and designer Julie Taymor transformed the film into a spectacular theatrical experience, translating the African Savannah into convincing, groundbreaking stage set. Performed in most parts of the world including Paris and London, The Lion King is finally coming to Singapore, bringing with it that familiar Disney soundtrack we all remember and love, with a few modern classics woven into it. Disney lovers, fans of The Lion King, thespians and designers (that sounds suspiciously like everyone) would do well to catch what could be the show of the season.
