Tickets for the Orlando run of Disney's "The Lion King" go on sale Saturday. Performances run Dec. 7 to Jan. 14 at the Carr Performing Arts Centre, 401 E. Livingston St., Orlando.
The Tony Award-winning musical is directed by Julie Taymor. Many characters in it are huge puppets animated by black-clad actors who voice the roles.
Much of the show's acclaim and spectacle come from its convention of sending these puppets through the aisles of the theater in a lavish parade. Of course, that means the theater needs the old "American seating design" with multiple aisles up the audience.
The Carr Performing Arts Centre has what is called a continental seating design, with seats running all the way across the row. To accommodate the production of Disney's "The Lion King," the theater will remove 278 of its seats to create aisles.
Tickets to see the show range from 21$ to 76$. Call Ticketmaster or visit www.ticketmaster.com
