The Lion King has been running for nearly 30 years, with each production featuring South African singers. The global phenomenon began in 1994 as a Disney animated feature film. This led to several sequels, spin-off TV series, educational shorts, several video games, merchandise and the third longest-running musical in Broadway history.

In Africa, the musical debuted in South Africa in June 2007, with its 10-year anniversary taking place at the Teatro Theatre in Johannesburg.
