Center president Terry Dwyer was beaming as Segerstrom Hall filled with expectant adults and kids for Friday’s performance of Disney’s perennially popular show, which plays there through June 13.
It’s easy to understand his happiness. Like every temple of culture around the nation, OCPAC has seen its share of paltry ticket sales and empty seats over the last 18 months or so. Broadway seasons help performing arts centers power through such droughts, and shows like “The Lion King” are their crown jewels.
Happily, “The Lion King,” in addition to its undisputed status as one of musical theater’s monster money makers, is also grandly entertaining, and in a way that other warhorses such as “Miss Saigon” and “The Phantom of the Opera” aren’t. Those musicals are intended for adult audiences. “The Lion King” is family fare, though like so many Disney stories since “Bambi” it comes with a caveat: death in the family.
