The Lion King San Francisco | Orpheum Theatre

The Lion King San Francisco | Orpheum Theatre

The Orpheum Theatre comes alive with the sights, and beats of Africa as The Lion King comes to San Francisco. Catch this groundbreaking Broadway musical as it runs at the Orpheum from November 2, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

Somewhere out on the African savannah, a lion stands up proud as the King of Pride Rock. This is the story of Simba, a young lion who is cheated of his childhood, his father, and his birthright, by his own uncle, Scar. Based on the animated film by Disney and imaginatively brought to life on stage by puppets and costumes designed by director Julie Taymor, who won the Tony Award for the original production, The Lion King is Broadway reinvented.

The Lion King at the SHN Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco will run from November 2, 2016 to December 31, 2016. The performance running time is 2 hours and 45 minutes with 1 intermission.
