Disney's The Lion King KIDS

Disney's The Lion King KIDS
Celebrate the Circle of Life in this timeless story of courage, friendship, and destiny.


 

Welcome to The Lion King KIDS!

Disney's The Lion King has captivated the imagination of audiences around the world, and now you have the opportunity to produce this one-of-a-kind musical in your community. Bring the African savanna to life on your stage with Simba, Rafiki and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle and back again in this inspiring, coming-of-age tale.

The Lion King KIDS features classic songs from the Broadway musical and animated feature film, including “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “He Lives in You,” and “Hakuna Matata.” Young performers will also get the chance to learn a wide range of new theatrical skills—such as mask-making and puppetry—encouraging them to explore this beloved story with creativity and pride.

PLEASE NOTE: As of June 21, 2023, licenses of The Lion King KIDS will no longer include a physical Lion King Experience binder or djembe drums. A digital version of the Lion King Experience curriculum—including lesson plans and extensive video content—will remain free for all to access online at TheLionKingExperience.com.
