Now in its 13th year, “The Lion King” continues to reign as one of the most popular shows on Broadway and around the world. It is the eighth-longest-running musical in Broadway history and, according to figures just released by The Broadway League, placed second on the Top 10 lists for both the highest-grossing and best-attended shows of the 2009-10 season, a remarkable indicator of its unprecedented success.
