"The Lion King Jr." Presented by Children's Music Theater of Alamogordo

The Lion King JR. tells the story of the epic adventures of a curious cub named Simba, as
he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood, and his destiny as king. Along
the way, the young lion encounters a colorful cast of characters, including spunky lioness
Nala, wise and mystical mandrill Rafiki, charismatic meerkat Timon, and loveable warthog
Pumbaa. To claim his rightful place on the throne and save his beloved Pridelands, Simba
must find his inner strength and confront his wicked Uncle Scar. The Lion King JR. features
classic songs from the 1994 film, such as “Hakuna Matata,” and the Academy Award®-
winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” as well as additional songs penned for the
Broadway production.
