MGM and Disney executives confirmed today that the award-winning Broadway phenomenon "The Lion King" will premiere at the Mandalay Bay Theatre on May 2 with preview performances beginning April 20. The Disney musical replaces the "Mamma Mia!" musical, which will end its near six-year run on Jan. 4.
The new Vegas production will join six other highly successful companies of "The Lion King" around the world in New York, London, Hamburg, Paris, Tokyo and Fukuoka. The Vegas spectacular of "The Lion King" will be virtually identical to the other companies seen around the globe and will be staged with all of the same music, sets and costumes that have made it a worldwide phenomenon.
Ticket prices, on-sale dates and performance schedules will be announced at a later date.
It is the first-ever Disney theatrical production to be staged in Vegas.
