Disney fans in Bristol are bracing themselves for the return of The Lion King's hit musical, which is expected to be a high point on the city's cultural calendar this year. Tickets are in demand for the award-winning show as fans prepare to welcome it back to the Bristol Hippodrome.
Bristol Live's Mark Taylor has already praised the latest production of the West End hit as it begins its regional tour around the UK and Ireland. The Lion King is comprised of a hefty cast of over 50 actors, singers and dancers, as well as a full-scale orchestra in the true spirit of the mind-blowing production.
It follows the enthralling story of Simba as he journeys from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands. Now in its 22nd year at London's Lyceum Theatre, the chance to see director Julie Taymor’s acclaimed version of one of the Disney family favourites is an opportunity worth grasping.
