I'll be in Mexico City in December and January and was wondering if anyone knows of any theater happening at that time. I know Lion King is currently playing, anything else? A google search isin't yielding much.

Hey! I'm from Mexico City, I can help you out.

Right now, Lion King, Billy Elliot, Man of la Mancha, La Cage Aux Folles, Spelling Bee, Daddy Long Legs and Urinetown are playing. Though I believe only Lion King and Billy Elliot will still be playing around December/January.

There's also an upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors, but I don't know if it is an open run or limited.

There are two original Mexican musicals: Mentiras which is a jukebox with popular Mexican music from the 80s and 90s, and Josefa which is about historic figure Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, an insurgent of the Mexican War of Independence.

If you want more information, send me a PM and I'll be happy to help you.

I just checked lion king tickets and are on sale only through October, I read that the show is closing to make way for a Les miz revival next year but I don't know if it will close in october or later.

I like Hoy no me puedo levantar which is also a jukebox musical with a Rent like story set in madrid but I don't know if it's an open ended production.

Urinetown is only playing trough august

Lion King is playing all the way through early 2018.
