A fold of acrobatic performers helps bring
to the stage the memorable “Hakuna Matata”.
Also, the lilting “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”
is rendered as a stirring ballet piece, interpreted by dancers
suspended on air. |
For the finale, over 50 performers garbed
in brightly colored costumes converge to take the audience’s
breath away.
To date, Disney’s 32nd animated feature
“The Lion King” is the highest-grossing traditionally
animated feature film of all time.
A young lion cub named Simba is the film’s
protagonist. Essentially the film is a cathartic storyline
revolving around the cub’s birthright to the throne
of Pride Rock. On a higher plane, he also deals with his
role in the so-called Circle of Life.
An adaptation of the film in a 28-minute
song-and-dance extravaganza is only rational as the original
feature is presented like a musical itself. Songs from the
film and those used in the stage show are one and the same,
written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice. You
