The exciting entertainment initiative was announced yesterday at a press co nference in Hyde Park, Johannesburg.
The Lion King features the voices of artists such as Kani, James Earl-Jones, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen and Beyoncé. The theatre legend said what people would be witnessing in Pretoria would not be entirely new because it existed in the 1920s before sound in films was invented. "Disney, in partnership with FNB, have created this opportunity and 8,000 people will be sitting in the arena, watching a huge screen. Underneath it will be the JPO conducted by Brandon Phillips," he said."When the opportunity comes to tell a story of The Lion King, I feel so good because I always believe that it is our story.
