Thomas Schumacher, the president of Disney Theatrical Productions, has said, “Julie Taymor and her extraordinary creative team have realized a production of enormous scale, beauty, and heart. I cannot wait for new audiences to join us in the Philippines, Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, and South Africa, the show’s creative birthplace.”
Julie Taymor is the renowned director of The Lion King musical, with over 20 years of successful stage shows making it the most successful musical of all time. She has attributed much of her success to the 4 years she spent traveling Indonesia and its surrounding countries. She found much inspiration from the cultures there and is excited to bring her creation to those parts of the world.
Auditions for the Asian and African musical tour begin in March of 2017 with tickets expected to go on sale in October of 2017.
