The Lion King, the musical, returns to the Mogador theater in September

Since 1997, the musical The Lion King has captivated audiences worldwide. From its debut in Minneapolis, it has charmed over 110 million spectators, from Broadway to London, Paris, Hamburg, Tokyo and Singapore, marking its triumphant international presence.

The fusion of Hans Zimmer's musical talent, Tim Rice's profound lyrics and Garth Fagan 's captivating choreography shapes this masterful piece. What sets this show apart, however, are the puppets and costumes, ingeniously designed by Julie Taymor, that bring the savannah fauna to life.

The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a lion cub destined for the throne. Following the heartbreaking death of his father, Mufasa, Simba goes into exile, finding solace in his loyal friends, Timon and Pumbaa. Their teaching emphasizes the value of friendship and duty. His destiny takes a new turn when he encounters Nala, his first love, prompting him to reclaim his heritage. Through his adventures, the musical explores notions such as identity, redemption and the personal quest, celebrating at the same time family ties and the natural cycle of life.
