Disney's
"The Lion King" comes to life in Atlanta
Disney's
animated classic "The Lion King" was recently re-released
to IMAX theaters across the nation. The film was one of Disney's more
successful modern animated classics and featured a soundtrack by Elton
John and Tim Rice that soared to the top of the pop charts during the
film's initial theatrical release. After Disney created a successful
adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" on Broadway, they created
"The Lion King." The musical won six Tony Awards among a long
list of others and has just marked its sixth sold-out year at the New
Amsterdam Theatre in New York City. Now, the show is coming to Atlanta
from Jan. 31-March 16.
