Almost 30 years in the past, the Disney animated classic enthralled fans around the globe with its touching tale of perseverance and courage as it chronicles Simba's journey from his early lion cub years to his rise to the throne as King. Showcasing Swahili and Zulu, this musical strikingly showcases 5 indigenous African languages, and the group of performers participating plays a vital role in its achievements.
“Given that The Lion King is incredibly imbued with rhythms rooted in these [Gambian] traditions, keeping enthusiasm for the show is natural," explains Stefan Monssen, a percussionist skilled in African techniques.
Variety lavishes praise on the musical, calling it as a “novel generation of felines” that continues to take over Broadway through force. In this assessment, it is highlighted that the Walt Disney Company has effectively positioned itself as a serious and enterprising player in the legitimate theater scene.
In a nutshell, Disney's "The Lion King" stands as a phenomenon, a theatrical accomplishment that emanates beauty, cleverness, and creativity. The stage adaptation of the beloved 1994 animated film surpasses its source material in virtually all aspects, from dazzling visuals and compelling storytelling to the evocative score by Lebo M and the freshly African-imbued pop songs composed by Elton John and Tim Rice.
