The African savannah will come to life on stages in primary and secondary schools with Simba, Rafiki, and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle and back again.

In addition to a performance license to produce the show, THE LION KING Experience features a rigorous curriculum designed to introduce  students to a wide range of theatrical skills – from lesson plans to traditional Djembe drums.
