Big Sky kids bring colorful Pride Lands to Warren Miller stage
Presented with support from Moonlight Community Foundation, Big Sky Broadway celebrates a return to junior productions with Disney’s The Lion King KIDS. The story of a young lion and friends living in the African savannah, the local staging stars area children entering first through fourth grades. The 45-minute production follows the adventures of Simba as he finds his place in the circle of life. The performance will take place Friday, August 16th at 6pm. Tickets are $10.
The Lion King KIDS 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 Pride Lands, Simba must find his inner strength and confront his wicked Uncle Scar. The Lion King KIDS 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.
A growing musical theater company, Big Sky Broadway teaches elementary through middle school aged kids to put on full-length musicals. Participants receive acting, dance and voice training, while also learning to create costumes and set pieces, also working as stagehands behind the curtain.
