Disney's The Lion King JR

ABOUT

The timeless story of Disney’s The Lion King – which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year – will roar to life in Gauteng as part of a new collaboration between National Children’s Theatre and Disney Theatrical Group later in the year. NCT will stage The Lion King JR, Disney’s Junior production of the internationally celebrated musical, with a cast of 50 young people aged 13 and under. This will be the first time the Junior production is performed in South Africa!

Journey with us through the African savanna – from Pride Rock to the jungle and back again – and meet Simba, Rafiki and an unforgettable cast of characters who will perform classic songs including “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” and “Hakuna Matata.” Experience the magic and value of friendship, family and responsibility as we find our place in the Circle of Life.

This show is perfect for the whole family and schools!
