The Lion King

Disney's beloved musical comes to Indianapolis this fall for a limited three-week run. The Lion King tells the timeless story of young Simba's journey across the African plains, brought vividly to life through innovative puppetry, masks, and costumes designed by Julie Taymor. The show features iconic music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice, with performers operating life-size animal puppets including lions, leopards, elephants, and giraffes. Over the course of two hours and forty minutes, you'll experience stunning visual effects—from shadow puppetry to a spectacular wildebeest stampede—that have made this one of Broadway's most acclaimed productions. This is a fantastic outing for families who love Disney classics and want to experience theater at its finest. The production has won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and has been seen by over 110 million people across North America. Tickets are available for multiple performance dates, with pricing that varies by seating section. If you need accessible seating, contact the venue directly to arrange accommodations. The historic Murat Theatre, built in 1909, provides an elegant setting with excellent acoustics for this spectacular show.
