About This Event

The six-time Tony Award-winning musical features stunningly immersive set pieces and award-winning choreography, transporting audiences to the African savannah.

What to Expect

  • 1.This Lion King production is a visual feast—expect jaw-dropping puppetry, expansive set pieces, and bright, athletic costumes that bring the savannah to life.
  • 2.Get there early to snag parking, breeze through security, and find your seat before the lights go down.
  • 3.Plan for about 2.5 to 3 hours including intermission, so set aside a full evening and use the break to stretch your legs.
  • 4.The Detroit Opera House is a seated venue with an emphasis on sightlines; picking seats near the center orchestra or mid balcony will give you the best view of the staging.
  • 5.If you're bringing kids, prep them for the performance, avoid recording with phones, and keep devices silenced so others aren’t distracted.
