Currently Disney's most popular animated musical. This adaptation of Disney's much-loved film transports audiences with a brilliant explosion of wonderful colours, superb effects and lively music, with light, rhythmic songs.(by Elton John and Tim Rice, and a score by Hans Zimmer)
The story
Story of a lion cub's journey to adulthood and acceptance of his royal destiny. Simba (young voice - Jonathan Taylor Thomas, grown up voice - Matthew Broderick) begins life as an honored prince, son of the powerful King Mufasa (voice - James Earl Jones).
Simba's uncle Scar (voice - Jeremy Irons) murders his brother Mufasa and drives Simba away from the kingdom. In exile, the young lion befriends Pumbaa the warthog (voice - Ernie Sabella) and Timon the meerkat (voice - Nathan Lane) and lives a carefree jungle life until he is visited by the spirit of his father, who instructs him to take back his rightful throne.
The production
Classical and African mythology combine with a combination of almost hypnotic visuals and dancing won awards for choerography by Garth Fagan and 'Best Costume Designer' by Julie Taymor . Set designer Richard Hudson and the inspired lighting team headed by Donald Holder, create a true spectacle.
Adored by children and grownups alike,
A note from the author
We put this AVMovie together (a compilation of still photos and video clips) to show off London theatres as they are seen most often by theatre goers – by night.
Thanks to Ben Shafik for his lighthearted and informative commentary and Fionn O'Lochlainn for the original music.
Watch out for the new version with current liveries and the names of the theatres as they appear.
