Lion King musical launches Edinburgh run

One of the biggest musicals of all time, based on the beloved Disney classic, is on its way to Scotland.

The stage adaptation of Disney’s The Lion King will enjoy a three-month run at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, from October to next January. The show is one of only five musicals in theatre history to have played for more than ten years on both Broadway and in London’s West End. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
