Question: Non-Broadway Lion King on stage!?
Is there any stage version of The Lion King for community theater!?
One that isn't like, elaborate broadway African style!?
I can only find information about it being on Broadway!.
If there isn't a non-broadway version, there should be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think there is!.
The person above me is right in a way, just not so rude!.
The Broadway version has an all-African cast who can sing in that language!. Plus some of the ranges are a little high for kids in the chorus parts!.
I mean, it would be possible to do a junior version of it!. I think if you had some very colorful costumes and a background with a sunrise on it (like the Broadway background) it could be possible!. the chorus can act as plants (again, like the musical) and for the other animals there could be hats that look like the animals and sleeves with spots on them or something like a leopard!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

LOL!. Well, there may be a non-broadway style LK production, but it is DEFINITELY African style- since the movie was based in an African enviroment, and has African culture!. If your asking about a cheap remake of LK that has no African culture in it, then my friend, you should create one!. In my opinion- there's no need to drag that movie/play out any more- it's already been extremely overdone!. Maybe just watch a different play, since you obviously can't appreciate the classics!? How about High School Musical!? That play lacks culture and meaning! I'm sure you'd enjoy it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
