The Lion King

What do you get when you combine a Jacques LeCoq trained artist and one of the largest corporations the world has ever known? Surprisingly the single most successful piece of entertainment all-time! Michael and Anika dive into the international sensation that is the Broadway adaptation of THE LION KING. From concept to stage, hear insights from the creative journey that brought the iconic Disney animated film to life and how Disney Theatrical Productions hasn't quite managed to capture the same magic in any of its other theatrical offerings. The unparalleled brilliance and stagecraft of Julie Taymor's production gives Michael and Anika plenty to discuss and if you aren't already singing one of the chart-topping hits composed by Elton John, and Tim Rice...you certainly will be by the end of the episode.
