Business owners in downtown Norfolk are hoping the “Lion King” will help boost business.
Lion King musical will run in Chrysler Hall all month until January 02, 2011, bringing in thousands of people to the downtown area.
Restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen are preparing for a busy month, expecting many customers to have dinner before watching the show. The restaurant is even offering a 20% discount to the cast and crew of the Lion King.
At Trilogy, there’s a special menu designed for people attending the show.
Families can start a four course meal, leave to watch the show, and then come back for coffee and dessert. The restaurant will even open on Sundays through the month of December to accommodate those going to watch the musical.
Even the cast and crew of the “the Lion King” are contributing to the local economy by staying at local hotels and apartments.
When the show first came to Chrysler Hall in 2005, it sold 98 percent of its seats, and made 6.5 million dollars.
