The Lion King JR. Rules in June

WELLESLEY, MA – May 11 – Disney’s The Lion King JR. is playing at The Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick starting on Wednesday, June 14th through Friday June 16th. The 60-minute musical, designed for middle-school aged performers, is based on the Broadway production directed by Julie Taymor and the 1994 Disney film. Each cast contains LINX Theater performers led by LINX Theater Directors Katie Schiering or Todd Morse.

“The music soars and brings the audience into a different world, free from human influence. And yet, our animal characters struggle in the same ways that humans do. The Lion King JR. forces us to connect with animals and nature because it helps us understand the great ‘circle of life’,” said Schiering.

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 loveable 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” and the Academy Award®-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” as well as additional songs penned for the Broadway production.

Performances:

Wednesday, June 14th at 6:30pm

Thursday, June 15th at 6:30pm

Friday, June 16th at 5:30pm and 7:45pm
