The 60-minute musical, designed for middle school-aged performers, is based on the acclaimed Broadway production directed by Julie Taymor and Disney's beloved 1994 animated film. Featuring a cast of approximately 62 young performers, the production is directed by Tyler Rogers with music direction by Arianna Thurow.

“Our youth musical productions are always among the most popular in the community – both for the kids involved and the audience,” said Grace Cannon -Wallace, director of WYO PLAY. “This production in particular allows all involved to take a classic story and makes it their own. You don't want to miss it!”

“Disney's The Lion King JR.” follows the journey of Simba, a curious young lion who must navigate friendship, loss and responsibility as he grows into his role as king of the Pride Lands. Along the way, audiences will meet unforgettable characters including Nala, Timon, Pumbaa and the villainous Scar.

Filled with humor, heart and adventure, the production features favorite songs from the original film including “Hakuna Matata” and the Academy Award-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” along with additional music created for the Broadway stage production.

The production highlights the creativity, dedication and talent of local youth performers while giving audiences of all ages the opportunity to experience a beloved story brought to life on the WYO stage.
