We all remember the most heart-wrenching movie scene from our childhoods: the scene where Scar killed Mufasa in the Lion King. Yeah, I cried too. The movie of our childhood is now on Broadway. It’s starring Bradley Gibson and Adrienne Walker. The New York Times said, “purely as a visual tapestry, there is simply nothing else like it.” I couldn’t agree more.
Simba, the main character, is a curious, young lion prince. As he is discovering the responsibilities that will soon be given to him, he struggles to stop stirring up trouble. Then, the tragedy strikes and Scar, Simba’s uncle, kills Simba’s dad, King Mufasa. Simba faces conflict to live up to his father’s legacy while still being a clumsy kid. The Broadway play brings you into the story and shows you a classic coming of age story.
To accompany the show, the soundtrack includes very famous songs. Some include The Circle of Life, Hakuna Matata, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, and I Just Can’t Wait to Be King. For all ages, this play is a whirlwind of emotions. With beautiful visuals and wonderful actors and actresses, it is not a sight to miss. If you live in the Indianapolis Area, The Lion King will be showing at the Murat Theatre from September 12-29 2018. It’s a wonderful show to see for the whole family!
