Giraffes strut. Birds swoop. Gazelles leap. The entire Serengeti comes to life as never before. And as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly emerges from the mist. This is Disney’s THE LION KING, making its return to the Orpheum Theatre.
According to organizers, current BroadwaySF members can renew their account online and individual ticket sales for the upcoming season for the public will go on sale at a later date.
