Over a decade into its Broadway run, this brightly plumed Disney musical is still the destination of choice for most city visitors. Families from Omaha, Oahu, and Oman alike are treated to a production that has won almost universal critical praise for its powerful mixture of theatre traditions from around the world.

The plot? A young lion learns to be a king. So simple, and yet with its strange mix of old-time Broadway showmanship and Natural History Museum grandeur, this one-of-a-kind extravaganza manages to stir the dreams of both the father and the five year-old.

Elton John and Tim Rice's hit songs (including "Circle of Life, "Hakuna Matata," "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"), Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning score, and Lebo M's outstanding choral arrangements for the hit film have been supplemented for the Broadway show.

Here's a clip of the show's stunning performance on the 2008 Tony Award broadcast, a celebration of its 10th anniversary on Broadway:

Evening performances are recommended for 6 and above. A limited number of booster seats are available.
