The Lion
King (Musical) New Amsterdam Theatre 214 West 42nd Street, New York Six Tony awards in 1998 Best Musical, Choreography and Direction. Performance Schedule: Tuesday @7pm; Wednesday - Saturday @8pm; Wednesday and Saturday @2pm; Sunday @3pm Tickets: $35-$100 Show Run Time: 2 hours, 45 minutes with one intermission. The Lion King This adaptation of the animated Disney film was the winner of 6 Tony awards in 1998 including Best Musical, Choreography and Direction. Directed by Julie Taymor, this production uses puppetry, costumes and a cast of 46 to tell the story of Simba, the baby lion that grows up to be king of the jungle. It’s terrific for children and parents alike. The quality of the play took both audience and critics by surprise. This is not merely a camped-up version of the movie, but rather a very dramatic and spellbinding interpretation of the Disney film that stands alone. |
