The Lion King has captivated nearly four million Australian audience members over the last two tours and this new Sydney season of the world’s most iconic musical is an exciting opportunity for loyal fans to reconnect and to spark a new wave of excitement in the next generation. A global phenomenon, The Lion King has been seen by over 120 million world-wide cementing its status as one of the most beloved musicals of all time.

Opening ten years after The Lion King was last on stage here in Australia, this will be the third local production for this multi-award-winning internationally-celebrated Disney musical. Returning once again to the Capitol Theatre, the original Australian production premiered on the same stage in Sydney in October 2003, followed by a second national tour that opened to Sydney audiences from December 2013.

Responsible for bringing some of the biggest and most celebrated shows to Australia, Disney Theatrical Group have driven over 500,000 interstate visitors to Sydney across the past decade, through partnerships with the NSW government and Destination New South Wales. The Lion King will be the ninth musical from Disney Theatrical Group to play in Sydney over the past twenty years, following an impressive list of smash-hits that include recent national tours of Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins and Frozen. An incredible 10 million audience members have seen a Disney musical in Australia.

Critically acclaimed around the world with The New York Times proclaiming “there is simply nothing else like it”. The previous 2013 Sydney season of The Lion King was celebrated by both audiences and critics.
