Experience the wonder of “The Lion King” musical at the The Kennedy Center Opera House this summer from June 21 to July 29!
Samaree Lawson, a local performer and dancer, has joined the ensemble as the Birman Soloist. This is Lawson’s first Broadway performance. During the upcoming performance at the Kennedy Center, a group of 161 family and friends will witness “The Lion King,” the majority of whom have never seen Lawson dance.
A fantastic cast enhances the good content. Although there are a number of prominent performers, including L. Steven Taylor, Stephen Carlile, and Cameron Pow, it is the ensemble as a whole that pulls the real and symbolic weight in a production like this. The performers are challenged to bring the vibrant spectacle of the performance to life on stage and take on a bewildering variety of roles throughout the tours, making it a genuinely ensemble-driven production.
