Lion King Broadway Tour<\/a> will stop in Miami<\/a> for four weeks from May 15 to June 10, 2012. <\/p>\n

Lion King musical is all about the noble lion king Mufasa sacrifices his own life to save his headstrong young son Simba. Mufasa\u2019s evil brother Scar commits fratricide and rules over a dying kingdom. Young love blossoms when Simba reencounters his boyhood friend Nala, then finds the brave purpose that would make his late father proud. The darker elements of The Lion King\u2019s universally resonant story are the stuff of Greek tragedy, but the reliably moving musical glows with a hopeful ending and many moments of beauty, joy and the celebration of life.<\/p>\n

For two of the cast members in the Lion King\u2019s touring company, playing the Arsht Center<\/a> means coming home. Syndee Winters, a Palmetto High graduate, is playing the adult Nala, a role she has coveted since she was a child.

\nSharron Williams, a New World School of the Arts and Florida State University grad, plays multiple roles \u2014 a cheetah, a lioness, a wildebeest, a hyena and more. Both women trained as dancers and are thrilled to be performing in a show choreographed by Garth Fagan, a Tony-winning modern dance figure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the show played South Florida before, I was in Miami<\/a> but I couldn\u2019t afford a ticket to see it,\u201d says Winters, who plans to teach a class at her old high school while the show is at the Arsht<\/a>. \u201cWhen you come to see The Lion King, you suspend your disbelief. For the next two and a half hours, you belong to us. You could be the biggest, buffest guy, but when you hear Circle of Life, you\u2019re affected. You get a lump in your throat. You get chills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winters\u2019 pal Williams, who will also teach a class while the show is in town, expects as many as 30 people in her extended family will see The Lion King during its Arsht run. For her, the show\u2019s appeal is a combination of story, design, music and Fagan\u2019s demanding choreography.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first saw it, I laughed, I cried, I was touched in every way,\u201d Williams says. \u201cThe work is challenging. The beat of the drums, the costumes, the music \u2014 they make you feel fierce. I get excited every time.\u201d<\/p>\n
