The Lion King at Murat Theatre

Disney's The Lion King North American Tour

Stories are built into human DNA. But there is a very clear distinction between a normal, nothing-special kind of story and a story that complete captivatesyou.

This kind of story will grabs you hook, line, and sinker!

It curls up between your ribs, and you'll carry it with you for years to come - and this is exactly the kind of story The Lion King has at its core.

Inject into the equation a stellar rave-reviewed cast that knows a thing or two about characterization, knows how to embody, projects energy and chemistry you can cut with a knife, and how to entrance the audience with total ease - and you have a winning recipe, and are are about to have a theatrical experience unlike any other. And to be frank, few performers know how to command the stage quite like the cast of The Lion King - it's that 'all or nothing' kind of stuff that first-class artistry is made of. The touring company brings the iconic characters of Simba, Nala, Rafiki, Mufasa, and Scar to life with the groundbreaking puppetry and costumes designed by Julie Taymor.

Not even to mention the high-octane choreography that is delivered with flawlessness and in perfect combination; the mind-blowing razzle dazzle of all the special effects coming together like wonderful spell cast right in front of your eyes; the jaw-dropping lighting design; the carefully handcrafted costumes; the visual spectacular that is the scenic design, and the astounding vocal prowess of the cast belting-out one show-tune after the next with the unforgettable music by Elton John and Tim Rice.

In short, and to the point, The Lion King is truly a magnetic Broadway experience that is on its way to the top fast. This 6-time Tony Award-winning musical, including Best Musical, is the highest-grossing stage musical in history with over 70 major arts awards worldwide. And at the helm of it all, stands a visionary, internationally acclaimed creative team who has truly created the ultimate musical - and this fall you'll get to experience it for yourself as Disney's The Lion King North American Tour arrives in Indianapolis!
