Students to present ‘The Lion King Jr.’

Posted

St. Johns County Center (SJCCA) for the Arts at R.J. Murray Middle School will present Disney’s “The Lion King, Jr.” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 7, at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, 1340A A1A South, St. Augustine.

This award-winning Disney musical was staged by SJCCA in 2016 with an audience of more than 3,000 at the same venue. 

More than 100 student actors, dancers and singers will present the adventures of a curious cub named Simba, who 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 lioness Nala, meerkat Timon, and warthog Pumbaa. To claim his rightful place on the throne and save his pride lands, Simba must find his inner strength and confront his wicked Uncle Scar. 

The show features songs from the 1994 film such as “Hakuna Matata” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” as well as additional songs penned for the Broadway production.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children and will be available at the gate on the day of the show or in advance at showtix4u.com/event-details/57726.
