Lion King Arrives at Century II Convention Center for Four-Week Run
The Lion King musical arrives at Century II Convention Center on Tuesday September 04, 2012 for a four-week, 32-show run. Lion King in Wichita, Kansas run through September 30, 2012.
The Wichita show is special, says production stage manager Ken Davis, because “The Lion King” has never played here before. By contrast, the recent run in St. Louis was the company’s third.
“Wichita is a debut, so you can’t rest on your laurels,” Davis said.
The story of “The Lion King” focuses on Simba, the mischievous lion cub of Mufasa, king of the savanna. Simba is to inherit the throne from his father someday, but Mufasa’s jealous brother, Scar, has other plans. He enlists a band of hyenas to help him get both Mufasa and Simba out of his way. As Simba grows, he finds the strength to fight back against his evil uncle, aided by his love interest/childhood friend Nala, wise baboon Rafiki, protective red-billed hornbill Zazu, big-hearted warthog Pumbaa and wisecracking meerkat Timon.
