Disney's The Lion King
About this event
The six-time Tony Award-winning musical features stunningly immersive set pieces and award-winning choreography.
What to Expect
- 1.The Lion King is a visual feast—watch the puppetry and the shifting scenery, not just the center of the stage. The big ensemble numbers reward attention to the whole chorus and the details in the design.
- 2.You’ll notice a lot of nonverbal storytelling paired with powerful choreography and live music, so let the music guide your focus as scenes change.
- 3.Dress comfortably for a long evening in an ornate venue; smart casual is common, but there’s no strict dress code and you’ll want to move a bit between acts.
- 4.Arrive early to park or grab your tickets and find your seat before the lights go down; downtown Detroit can get crowded before shows at the Opera House.
- 5.If you need accessibility accommodations, call the box office ahead of time to arrange seating or services; upper balconies can involve stairs, so planning helps.
