Ava Brennan will Play the Principal Role of Lioness \u2018Nala\u2019<\/p><\/div>
\nOriginally from Bootle in Liverpool, Ava trained at the Loretta Legge Theatre School in Maghull, Merseyside where she gained extensive training in ballet, modern dance and tap. <\/p>\n

She then went on to achieve roles in various European productions of Oklahoma! Aida, The Count of Monte Cristo and Hairspray.<\/p>\n

Ava Brennan said: \u201cWhen I first got offered the job to play Nala in the London production, I was ecstatic. It has been a dream of mine to perform on the West End since I was little, I still cannot believe it now! I am so excited to get on stage and be part of the Lion King family.\u201d <\/p>\n

Now in its twelfth year at the Lyceum Theatre<\/a>, The Lion King continues to reign as one of London\u2019s most popular musicals. Over 9 million people have seen the show since it opened in London<\/a> in October 1999 and 55 million people have seen The Lion King worldwide. With record-breaking productions in New York<\/a>, Las Vegas<\/a>, Singapore, Hamburg and Tokyo, this global phenomenon also on North American tour<\/a> is set to launch in Madrid in October 2011. <\/p>\n

Associate Director John Stefaniuk, who has worked closely with Ava said: \u201cAva is a true gift to The Lion King. Finding an actress with the ability to play Nala is always challenging as it\u2019s a role with extraordinary physical, vocal and emotional demands. <\/p>\n

“However, Ava took on the role with such commitment in Hamburg that bringing her to the West End<\/a> was an easy decision for us. She is an outstanding addition to our West End production.\u201d <\/p>\n
