The award-winning stage show version of The Lion King is coming to Abu Dhabi.

Marking its 25-year anniversary, the world-famous, award-winning musical is set for a historical four-week run in the UAE capital from November 16 to December 10 at Etihad Arena, Yas Island.

 

Since its 1997 debut, the now legendary musical has entertained nearly 110 million people worldwide. Today it continues to garner huge acclaim worldwide with permanent residences in New York, London, Madrid, and Tokyo, and has enjoyed further international touring success recently in New Zealand, Australia, South Korea and more. The international touring show in Abu Dhabi represents a historic stop for the highest-grossing Broadway production of all-time.
