Disney film is “King” on the stage

Forget everything you know about Disney’s “The Lion King.”

On second thought, don’t…. Forget everything you know about Disney’s “The Lion King.”

As the baboon Rafiki belts the opening lines of “The Circle of Life” with two rams accompanying her from the balconies, and rhinos and elephants come marching down the aisles onto the stage, you immediately realize that nothing could have prepared you for this.
