The Lion King at Providence Performing Arts Center

There's no doubting that the story of The Lion King is one that resonates with people on so many levels. Sure, the original film was meant for kids, but it's a tragic story to say the least. It takes a prodigal son style of path that has kept people in theaters at the edge of their seats watching this musical since 1997. These are mostly people who already know the story! It's amazing to think that the Lion King continues to sell out performs on Broadway and across the world even though most people know how the story is going to end. That's going to be the case in Providence, Rhode Island on Sunday 31st May 2026.

One of the things that keeps people coming back to this performance are the songs. It's a rather intense soundtrack with tracks about life, loss, and of course, Hakuna Matata. The current cast provides heart felt renditions of these classics that people love. At the same time, the music helps move the story along in this musical version in a way that keeps people at the edge of their seat. You may be waiting for your favorite song to come up all show long, and those 4 minutes or so could end up being the best part of the performance. Who knows, you may even find new music that you don't remember from the 1994 film. There are songs that are only part of the theater experience. If you haven't seen The Lion King in this format, you could be in for certain surprises. Even if you're familiar with the story, this musical experience is worth every dollar.
