St. John Neumann is proud to present their production of Disney's The Lion King, Jr.!
The African savanna comes to life onstage with Simba, Rafiki, and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle...and back again, in this inspiring, coming-of-age tale.
The Lion King, Jr. tells the story of the epic adventures of a curious cub named Simba as he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and his destiny as king. Along the way, the young lion encounters a colorful cast of characters including spunky lioness Nala, charismatic meerkat Timon, and lovable warthog Pumbaa. To claim his rightful place on the throne and save his beloved Pridelands, Simba must find his inner strength and confront his wicked Uncle Scar. The Lion King, Jr. features classic songs from the 1994 film such as “Hakuna Matata,” "I Just Can't Wait to be King," and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”
