But this is no simple rehashing of the animated classic - instead, the audience is transported straight to Pride Rock with the help of larger-than-life puppets, stunning costume design, and the mighty chants of "Circle of Life" that opens the first act. Based on the 1994 film, the theatrical production is directed by Julie Taymor and features much of the original music by Elton John and Tim Rice. When Disney's stage adaptation of the hit movie The Lion King made its debut in 1997 - first at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, then on Broadway later that year - no one could ever have guessed its impact on the world of musicals.
To see one of Disney's most beloved movies come to life may just be a dream come true for kids and adults alike.
