The Lion King at Benedum Center Pittsburgh

Disney's The Lion King North American Tour / PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh

Nobody can resist a good story. But there is a very clear distinction between a generic kind of story and a story that has you on your toes from the get-go.

This kind of story will sends tingles down your spine!

It hits the sweet spot, and you'll carry it with you for years to come - and this is exactly the kind of story The Lion King has at its core.

Add to the mix an award-winning world-renowned cast that knows a thing or two about characterization, knows how to epitomize, bounces energy and chemistry like a ping pong ball, and how to hold an audience in the palm of their hands - and you have a winning recipe, and are well on the way to a theatrical experience like no other. And let's be honest, few performers know how to mesmerize quite like the cast of Disney's The Lion King - it's that 'all or nothing' kind of stuff that top-tier stagecraft is made of. Seen by over 120 million people worldwide, this North American Tour continues to captivate audiences everywhere it goes.

The Lion King has even more of the right boxes ticked - the high-energy choreography that is delivered with flawlessness and in perfect combination; the awe-inspiring spectacle of all the special effects coming together like a well-oiled machine; the eye-popping lighting design; the astonishing costumes featuring iconic masks and puppetry that bring the savanna to life; the incredible scenery, and the stunning vocal skill of the cast belting-out one show-tune after the next.

In short, and to the point, The Lion King is truly a enjoyable Musical that is on its way to the top fast. All of this comes from the ingenious creative minds of a visionary, internationally acclaimed creative team who has truly created the ultimate live theatre experience - and this fall you'll get to experience it for yourself, Pittsburgh!
