The Lion King is an award-winning Broadway
stage musical based on the 1994 Disney
animated film of the same name and is
directed by Julie Taymor, featuring actors
in animal costumes as well as giant, hollow
puppets. The stage show debuted July 31,
1997, in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the
Orpheum Theatre, and was an instant and
tremendous success before moving permanently
to the New Amsterdam Theater on Broadway
in New York, New York, that October. A
version later opened in London, and another
in Toronto, playing there until January
2004. On June 13, 2006, the Broadway production
moved to the Minskoff Theatre to make
way for the musical version of Mary Poppins.
