Don't miss these FULL HIGHLIGHTS from 'The Lion King' in Madrid, the first SPANISH production of the show, which opens next week at Teatro Lope De Vega. Check out performances by Carlos Rivera as Simba, Daniela Pobega as Nala, Sergi Albert as Scar and David Comrie as Mufasa!

Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap - the entire Serengeti comes to life. And as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly rises from the stage. This is THE LION KING. A spectacular visual feast, this adaptation of Disney's much-loved film transports you to a dazzling world that explodes with glorious colors, stunning effects and enchanting music. At its heart is the powerful and moving story of Simba, and his epic journey from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.

As it begins its 14th year, The Lion King remains ascendant, continuing to reign as a cultural phenomenon and one of the most popular stage musicals in the world. Since its 1997 Broadway premiere, 18 global productions have been seen by more than 60 million people, and grossed over $4.3 billion to date. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (under the direction of Thomas Schumacher), The Lion King is the seventh longest-running musical in Broadway history and one of only five productions in theatre history to play for ten years or more, both on Broadway and in the West End.

Translated into seven different languages (Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch, Mandarin, and now Spanish), the show has been performed in 14 different countries on five continents. The Lion King can currently be seen on Broadway (its flagship production), on stages across North America, and in Las Vegas, London's West End, Hamburg, Tokyo and Singapore. Now, in October 2011, the first Spanish production will bow in Madrid. To learn more visit, LionKing.com.
