But, live entertainment isn’t just returning to Disney’s theme parks! It will be heading back to Broadway this Fall as The Lion King and Aladdin take the stage once again!

What’s On Stage has shared that rehearsals are underway for The Lion King prior to its return to the West End in London, beginning July 29th. And, you can take a sneak peek here at the cast singing “Circle of Life” altogether for the first time since the closures!

In the West End, Phil Adèle will make his debut as Ed, alongside new ensemble cast members from seven countries worldwide (WOW)! The latest members to join the company are Gesztenye Botos, Reece Darlington-Delaire, Shak Gabbidon-Williams, Ryesha Higgs, Candice Holdford, Angela Marie Hurst, Duane Lamonte, Jane Carla Leynes, Deja Linton, Jonathan Lutwyche, Kearabetswe Mogotsi, and Taela Yeomans-Brown.
