Disney’s The Lion King arrived in the classical theater world with a masterful technique; critics state that the show, ever since its premiere, had transcended the traditional boundaries of theater and transformed into more than just your typical play. With its usage and mix of choreography, costume, and mainly animal puppetry, the Broadway play grew to a very distinct show matching up to to numerous theater performances. Since the narrative of the adapted musical has animals as the characters, especially the young Lion Prince Simba and exile and eventual return to his home, the most difficult task for the production was to bring this tale to life on stage without seeming fake. Julie Taymor, The Lion King’s director, embraced this challenge and similarly embraced the craft of utilizing puppets, masterfully utilizing life-sized animal puppets onstage coupled with outfits and music displaying African culture that dignified the famous play.

As one of the longest-running musicals, Disney's The Lion King has surely gained its place as one of the most successful plays in globally.
