I was driving up N. Water Street the other day when I saw a billboard for Broadway Across America. Included on this billboard was an ad for Disney's The Lion King which will be performed at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

I was quite excited. (Yes, I know I'm "special" - but I originally was a Musical Theater major!!) The last "Broadway" show I saw in Milwaukee was RENT. That show was amazing...all six times!

The Lion King won the 1998 Tony Awards for Best Muscial and Best Costume Design of a Musical amongst other awards...

The Lion King will run February 3rd - March 2nd, 2008. Tickets go on sale six to eight weeks before the first show. I'll certainly make sure to add this to my social calendar in February....

Catch a sneak peek at some clips from other Broadway perfomances of The Lion King below....
