The Lion King at Music Hall at Fair Park

The Lion King came on to the theater stage with a masterful approach; critics state that The Lion King, ever since its opening night, had utilized new elements that were unusual in old theater and become more than the usual adaptation. With its execution and combination of choreography, outfits, and mainly animal puppetry, the musical turned into a very distinct performance compared to to numerous others. Because the narrative of this stage adaptation focuses on animals, specifically the young Lion Prince Simba and lighthearted turned courageous life story, the hurdle for the production was to make sure their adaptation paid homage to the original without appearing inauthentic. Julie Taymor, the show director, embraced this challenge and equally embraced the craft of puppetry, skillfully using life-sized animal puppets onstage coupled with African-inspired design elements that dignified the famous play.
