“Tale of the Lion King” Debuts at Disney California Adventure Park
Disney California Adventure park has come alive with the debut of a vibrant, all-new, original outdoor musical theater production, “Tale of the Lion King”. This new stage show is a celebration inspired by Disney’s “The Lion King.” It brings the characters and music of Disney’s “The Lion King” to life in an imaginative and unique way.
The lead narrator, Mwongozo –Swahili for “guide”— leads a troupe of 18 performers called the Storytellers of the Pride Lands in this adaptation, which is presented in a contemporary story-theater style that retells the tale through language, song and dance.
“The approach that we’ve taken with ‘Tale of the Lion King’ is that this is a story that was passed on from generation to generation, and now it’s come here to Disney California Adventure park,” said Susana Tubert, Creative Director, Disney Parks Live Entertainment. “The Storytellers of the Pride Lands have come to share this ancestral story of how a cub became a king.”
Guests will dance and sing along to new musical arrangements of their favorite songs, including “Circle of Life,” “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “Hakuna Matata,” among others. The live drumming and singing, along with the set and costumes all celebrate the cultural roots of this beloved Disney story.
