The Lion King at Saenger Theatre

North American Tour

Storytelling is part of human DNA. But there is a Grand Canyon-sized difference between a generic kind of story and a story that has you on your toes from the get-go.

We're talking about a story that will have you on the edge of your seat!

It curls up between your ribs, and you'll remember for years to come - The Lion King's backbone is exactly this kind of story.

Inject into the equation an award-winning star-studded cast that knows a thing or two about characterization, knows how to embody, bounces energy and chemistry like a ping pong ball, and how to captivate the audience with what seems like no effort whatsoever - and you have a winning recipe, and are well on the way to a theatrical experience unlike anything you've ever seen before. And to be frank, it's a rarity to come across performers who know how to command the stage quite like the cast of Disney's The Lion King North American Tour - it's that 'all or nothing' kind of stuff that off-the-charts stagecraft is made of.

Also contributing to the major success of The Lion King, is the exceptional choreography that is delivered with flawlessness and in perfect combination; the awe-inspiring spectacle of all the special effects coming together like a fine-tuned orchestra; the breathtaking lighting design; the stunningly designed costumes featuring elaborate puppetry that brings the African savanna to life; the incredible scenery, and the sensational vocal skill of the cast belting-out one showstopper after the next, including the iconic opening number "Circle of Life."

In short, and to the point, The Lion King is truly a enjoyable Broadway experience that is rising like a colossus above the rest. All of this comes from the ingenious creative minds of a visionary, award-winning creative team who has truly created the ultimate musical - winner of 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical - and this fall you'll get to experience it for yourself, New Orleans, as part of the Broadway in New Orleans 2026-2027 season!
