Leading musical “The Lion King” to make its Asian debut in Bangkok

Michael Cassel Group in association with Disney Theatrical Productions has confirmed that the international tour of Disney’s “The Lion King” is to premiere in Bangkok promoted by BEC-Tero Scenario in September at Muangthai Rachadalai Theatre. The international tour, which is the 25th global production of Broadway’s landmark musical, will be performed in English with Thai subtitles.
“We’re excited to bring the world-renowned stage production of ‘The Lion King’ to Thailand,” says Thomas Schumacher, President & Producer, Disney Theatrical Productions. “Julie Taymor and her extraordinary creative team have realised a production of enormous scale, beauty and heart and I cannot wait for new audiences to join us.”
“The Lion King” is a one-of-a-kind majestic production that has established a new level of artistry for musical theatre from the staging, costumes, and choreography which are reminiscent of the vast savannahs of Africa and its distinctive animal characters. The musical is also greatly shaped by African music, language, and arts.
