Cincinnati Aronoff Center, The Lion King, June 2026

Page 1


BROADWAY IN CINCINNATI

There are certain shows that become part of the story of our lives, and for me, Disney’s The Lion King is one of them.

When this extraordinary production came to Cincinnati in 2015, I was pregnant with my first child. When it returned in 2020, I was pregnant with my second. And now, as the show once again takes the stage at the Aronoff Center, I have the joy of experiencing it alongside both of them—seeing the wonder, excitement, and magic through their eyes for the very first time.

That’s the beauty of live theatre. The stories may stay the same, but each time we experience them, they mean something new. The Lion King continues to inspire audiences of all ages with its breathtaking artistry, unforgettable music, and powerful message about family, love, and the circle of life. We are so thrilled to welcome this remarkable production back to Cincinnati and to share it with you.

As we celebrate the final show of our season, we’re already looking ahead to an incredible year of Broadway ahead—one filled with unforgettable experiences for the whole family. We hope you’ll join us for our upcoming season featuring Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, The Sound of Music, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and Cirque du Soleil’s Twas the Night Before Christmas, alongside many more spectacular productions. There’s never been a better time to subscribe and make Broadway part of your family traditions.

Thank you for being part of another wonderful season at the Aronoff Center. We wish you a happy, safe, and memorable summer, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the theatre in September for The Great Gatsby. Enjoy the show!

A CONVERSATION WITH JULIE TAYMOR

The Lion King director offers insights on the groundbreaking musical.

Excerpted from

Julie Taymor on the challenges of translating the film version to the stage:

“To maintain the integrity of my own style, while incorporating it into one of the most beloved stories in recent history, was the first challenge to contemplate. With preconceptions about what the characters should look and sound like would the audience accept variations on a theme? Additionally, many of The Lion King’s scenes are seemingly impossible to transfer to the stage. The wildebeest stampede, the elephant graveyard, and its hundred hyenas. They are all inherently cinematic scenes. I relished the chance to stage them theatrically.”

On how the stage version of The Lion King differs from the film version:

“The limited 75 minute running time of the film just didn’t allow time for Simba to truly take the journey, both inner and outer, that would lead him full circle to his place as king. The two act stage format provided ample time to deepen and strengthen Simba and show the arduous path that leads to his self-discovery. His story needed more detail, depth and conflict.”

On theater’s unique advantage to other mediums:

“I had decided early on that I would not do a realistic rendition of the Pridelands. I wanted audiences to be released from their memories of the film right from the start. I wanted them to take a leap of faith and imagination. Stage mechanics would be visible. Showing the mechanics, revealing the rods, ropes and wires that make it all happen, is something that the theatre can do that the film and television cannot. They are literal mediums where

OPEN FOR A LIMITED TIME

the spectator is asked to believe in the reality of the image while the theatre functions best as a poetic medium. The audience, given a hint or suggestion of an idea, is ready to fill in the lines, to take it the rest of the way. Magic can exist in blatantly showing how theatre is created rather than hiding the “how.”

On the marriage of the human actors with their animal counterparts:

“One of the most powerful elements of the film is the rich humanity of the animal characters. In considering this ironic duality of the human and the animal it became critical in the design concept not to hide the actor behind a whole mask or inside an animal body suit. I wanted the human being to be an essential part of stylization. I wanted the audience to marvel at what a human being can do through true technical prowess.”

On how actors are selected for their roles in The Lion King:

“I brought puppets to auditions to see how performers would look in relation to specific puppets and how they would respond when asked to animate an inanimate object. Attitude is a very important part of my casting decision. I want an actor who is going to enjoy the challenge and not view it as a burden. Rather than expressly hiring puppeteers, I look for inventive actors who move well. A strong actor gives an idiosyncratic performance, because he infuses the puppet character with his own personality instead of relying on generic puppetry technique. The thrill of working with a good actor who is new to this medium, and who loves the puppet he is working with, is that he will take the form further than I ever imagined.”

On how the actors approached their animal roles:

“Each actor had to find the duality of the animal and the human within their performance. An actress cannot put on Nala’s mask and costume and talk with Simba as though she had just run into him on the street. As lioness/young human she has to find a way of standing, walking and gesturing that fulfills the demands of the production’s conceit.”

On seeing the puppets come to life:

“When a figure made of wood of fabric moves like a living thing, the visual and emotional impact is magical. One can either focus solely on the puppet or enjoy the direct and transparent art of the actor motivating the puppet. At rest, a puppet is just a facsimile of a human being or an animal. But when Zazu’s wings flutter excitedly or Timon cocks his head at a quizzical angle, the pleasure of watching that facsimile turn into a being with recognizable emotions is the pinnacle of this type theatre experience.”

The album produced two top-selling, award-winning singles: “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life.” The Tony Award-winning Broadway productions of The Lion King and Aida both awarded Elton with Grammy Awards for Best Musical Show Album. Billy Elliot was nominated for a record-tying 15 Tony Awards and won 10, including Best Musical.

Their next three works together were much more successful – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. Tim has also worked with other distinguished popular composers such as Elton John (The Lion King, Aida), Alan Menken (Aladdin, King David, Beauty and the Beast), Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (Chess), and Stuart Brayson (From Here to Eternity).

CHRIS MONTAN (Executive Music Producer) joined Disney in 1984 and served as president of Walt Disney Music until 2016. Under his guidance as head of music, soundtracks from ten theatrical releases (Cocktail, Beaches, The Little Mermaid, Pretty Woman, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, TARZAN® and Frozen) were certified multi-platinum. Additionally, the Studio received widespread GRAMMY®, Golden Globe® and Academy Award® recognition for many of its music entries, including 44 musical Oscar® nominations. A two-time GRAMMY award winner, he also served as a producer of the television production of “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” as well as executive producer of the “Wonderful World of Disney’s Annie” where he won a Peabody award for Broadcasting.

DISNEY THEATRICAL GROUP, a division of The Walt Disney Studios, was formed in 1994 and operates under the direction of Andrew Flatt and Anne Quart. Worldwide, its ten Broadway titles have been seen by more than 200 million theatregoers and have been nominated for 62 Tony Awards®, winning Broadway’s highest honor 20 times. The company’s inaugural production, Beauty and the Beast, opened in 1994, playing a remarkable 13-year run on Broadway and continues to be produced in replica productions around the world. In November 1997 Disney made theatrical history with the opening of The Lion King, which received six 1998 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director, Julie Taymor, who became the first woman in Broadway history to win the award. Approaching 30 landmark years on Broadway, it has welcomed over 124 million visitors worldwide to date and has multiple productions currently running worldwide. Within Disney Theatrical Group’s first three decades, under the leadership of Thomas Schumacher, The Lion King has played over 100 cities in 24 countries on every continent except Antarctica and its worldwide gross exceeds that of any film, Broadway show or entertainment title in box office history. Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida opened on

become an international hit with an award-winning production enjoying a ten-year run in Germany. In January 2008, The Little Mermaid opened on Broadway and was the best-selling new musical of that year. Disney Theatrical Group opened two critically acclaimed productions on Broadway in 2012, winning seven Tony Awards between them: Peter and the Starcatcher and Newsies, each of which enjoyed a two-year run and launched a North American tour, with Newsies playing a recordbreaking Fathom Events in-cinema release. Disney Theatrical Group’s 2014 hit, Aladdin, continues its smash Broadway run, having launched eleven productions on four continents and been seen by more than 21 million guests. Disney Theatrical Group’s newest hit, the 2018 Tony-nominated Best Musical Frozen has launched eight productions around the world with a filmed version of the stage musical currently available on Disney+. Other stage ventures include King David in concert on Broadway, Der Glöckner Von Notre Dame in Berlin, stage productions of Disney’s High School Musical and the Olivier-nominated West End hit Shakespeare in Love. Disney Theatrical Group has collaborated with preeminent theatres in the US to develop new stage musicals including The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Freaky Friday. As a part of the recent acquisition of 20th Century Studios, Disney Theatrical also heads the Buena Vista Theatrical banner, which licenses Fox titles for stage adaptations including Anastasia; Moulin Rouge! The Musical and Mrs. Doubtfire. Disney Theatrical Group recently premiered Hercules in London’s West End and a North American tour production of Beauty and the Beast. The stage adaptation of the beloved film The Greatest Showman recently opened in Bristol, United Kingdom to box office records, with the next step in its life to be announced shortly. In addition to theatrical stage productions, Disney Theatrical Group licenses and manages LocationBased Entertainment (LBE) experiences for The Walt Disney Company, including Disney On Ice, Mundo Pixar, Disney Junior Live On Tour, and The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail, expanding
