Lion King Closing? — Page 2

I'm surprised no one brought up the fact that Disney is only into making money. They will drag any show on forever if it's still making money. Look at Aida. They sucked all the money they could out of that show. The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Tarzan will all be around for a very long time. At least if the new ones don't turn out like that horrendous Disney revue that's touring the country.

Disney..only into making money?

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

Aren't they a non profit organization dedicated to promoting and creating exciting experimental theater?

I think you're confused with another organization.

The plot of the Lion King can hardly be considered dumb.

It is based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet," one of the most profound works of the english language and both the film and the musical sufficiently carry out the themes and ideas presented in the play.

After hearing this I was amazed I had never realized it as it is painfully obvious.

TARZAN?

Somebody please explain to me how rehashing Hamlet is a bad plot move. Please.

That being said, I very much doubt The Lion King will be closing anytime soon, especially given the popularity of the tour.

...and BKLYN
