Lion King Production Team

Putting on a Broadway show as big as the Lion King is an undertaking that you can’t begin to imagine. There are a thousand things to account for and a limited number of people with the skills and confidence to get the job done. The men and women who work behind the scenes on The Lion King creative team are some of the most talented producers, choreographers, costume designers, hair and makeup artists, sound technicians, and orchestrators in the world. Their sole purpose is to make sure that from the moment you step into the theater, you are taken away to another world. You may never actually see any of these people in front of the curtain but you will always know that they are around. Meet the production team of the Lion King:
