The Lion King at Providence Performing Arts Center

North American Tour

Everybody loves a good story. But there is a massive difference between a normal, nothing-special kind of story and a story that draws you in like a massive, all-engulfing black hole.

We're talking about a story that will sends shivers down your spine!

It hits the sweet spot, and you'll remember for years to come - and this is exactly the kind of story The Lion King is made of.

Inject into the equation a stellar all-star cast that knows a thing or two about characterization, knows how to embody, oozes energy and chemistry you can cut with a knife, and how to get an audience to eat out of their hands - and you have a winning recipe, and are are about to have a theatrical experience like no other. And to be frank, few performers know how to mesmerize quite like the cast of Disney's The Lion King - the 6-time Tony Award winner including Best Musical, and the most successful musical in history with over 124 million people worldwide experiencing its magic. It's that 'all or nothing' kind of stuff that first-class stagecraft is made of, brought to life through Julie Taymor's groundbreaking direction and the timeless music of Elton John and Tim Rice.

Also contributing to the major success of The Lion King, is the high-energy choreography that is delivered with flawlessness and in perfect synchronization; the mind-blowing razzle dazzle of all the special effects coming together like a well-oiled machine; the jaw-dropping lighting design; the stunningly designed costumes featuring elaborate masks and puppets; the incredible scenery, and the astounding vocal talent of the cast delivering one banger after the next.

In short, and to the point, The Lion King is truly a magnetic musical experience that is rising like a colossus above the rest. All of this comes from the ingenious creative minds of a visionary, rave-reviewed creative team who has truly created the pinnacle of live theatre - and this summer this Broadway magic is coming to you, Providence, as part of its North American Tour and the Encore Series at PPAC!

And now for the cherry on the top - the incredible venue where The Lion King will be brought to life this summer!
