“It’s a hugely different experience,” said Deborah Shrimpton, resident director of the touring production. “It’s live theater. You are inside the experience. At one point, the animals come through the auditorium. You might even be touched by the animals.”
There is the wise Rafiki and the devious Scar, King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi, Pride Rock and the Grasslands, a sprawling ensemble and, of course, the hero of the story, young Simba who grows from a cub to a king.
Shrimpton travels with the company, ensuring that the touring production doesn’t drift too far from Taymor’s vision. “There’s freedom of choice for the actors,” Shrimpton said, “and they have different interpretations of characters. I encourage that. But ‘The Lion King’ is ‘The Lion King,’ and it’s ‘The Lion King’ all over the world. The production works wonderfully as it is.”
Lion King musical, is almost like the film, follows the arc of the young lion, Simba, whose wise, ruling father, Mufasa is killed by the nefarious Uncle Scar. Scar and his band of hyena followers take over the lands of Pride Rock.

With an overwhelming demand for tickets – the Peace Center reviewed the seating map with the show’s production team and were able to identify other areas where seats could be placed. The result is that 1,600 additional tickets will be available for the Lion King Musical show’s four-week run at Peace Center from June 12 through July 8.
“In an effort to accommodate the community’s tremendous enthusiasm for The Lion King, structural modifications are being implemented to the Peace Center so that additional seat locations can be created,” Peace Center President Megan Riegel said. The Peace Center expects “The Lion King” to be its biggest Broadway show ever.
Blockbuster multi-week Broadway shows fill hotel rooms and pack restaurants with out-of-town and out-of-state guests paying accommodations and local sales taxes that support other festivals and arts events.
“Wicked,” the last multi-week blockbuster Broadway show to come to the Peace Center, is a good example. “Wicked” had a 24-performance run in Greenville and more than 98 percent of the 48,864 available tickets were sold, generating more than $4 million in ticket sales alone.
