Disney's The Lion King
About This Event
The six-time Tony Award-winning musical features stunningly immersive set pieces, award-winning choreography, and some of Broadway's most beloved music.
What to Expect
- 1.The Lion King uses jaw-dropping puppetry and vibrant production; watch the stage—puppets and masks carry most of the storytelling.
- 2.For the best view of the puppetry and facial expressions, aim for center orchestra or front mezz seating; if you're far to the sides, you might miss details.
- 3.There’s an intermission—use it to stretch your legs, grab a drink, and check the program notes.
- 4.Dress code is generally smart-casual; comfortable shoes help since you’ll be moving around a historic theatre.
- 5.Plan your arrival for downtown Detroit parking; there are several garages nearby, and the venue gets busy before shows—arriving early saves you stress.
