Disney+ will debut The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl concert special next month.

The live-to-film concert features a 70-person orchestra, dancers, projection mapping images, and the Broadway show’s costumes and puppetry, marking the 30th anniversary of The Lion King.

It includes appearances by the original voice cast and Broadway show members. Notable performers include Lebo M, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Jason Weaver, Ernie Sabella, Billy Eichner, Heather Headley, Bradley Gibson, North West, and Jennifer Hudson.

The concert is produced by Disney Concerts, Fulwell 73 Productions, AMP Worldwide, and Live Nation-Hewitt Silva, with Gabe Turner and Sally Wood as creative showrunners, Paul Dugdale as director, and Misty Buckley as production designer.

It will be available from 7 February 2025.

The stage production recently marked 25 years in the West End, where it continues to play at the Lyceum Theatre.
