Tickets went on sale Friday for Disney’s “The Lion King” musical, which is coming to the Hippodrome Theatre next year.
The production will roar into Baltimore for a three-week engagement from Feb. 12, 2025 through March 2, 2025.
Showtimes will be Tuesdays through Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. There will be a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 13.
“The Lion King” musical won six 1998 Tony Awards, including Best Musical that year.
It is North America’s longest-running and most-attended Broadway tour, having welcomed more than 23 million audience members over its more than 22-year run so far.
The musical features Elton John and Tim Rice’s songs from the 1994 animated “The Lion King” film, plus three new songs by John and Rice. It also includes musical material by South African Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor and Hans Zimmer; and selections written by Lebo M, Mancina and Zimmer from the album “Rhythm of the Pride Lands,” which was inspired by the film’s original music.
The launch of ticket sales Friday comes days after the death of actor James Earl Jones who, among his extensive and impressive acting career, provided the voice for Mufasa in the 1994 “The Lion King” film. Jones was 93 years old.
