The Lion King Musical
March 2023
In March 2023, Year 7 pupils at Pleckgate had the opportunity to see Disney’s The Lion King Musical at The Palace Theatre in Manchester. With music from Elton John and lyrics written by Tim Rice the musical features all of the biggest songs from The Lion King. The show was directed by Julie Taymor with Richard Hurst as Scar, Jean-Luc Guizonne as Mufasa, Thandazile Soni as Rafiki, Kyle Richardson as Simba and Nokwanda Khuzwayo as Nala. This show has been very popular in musical theatre with the costumes and scenes creating a truly fantastic experience.
Pupils enjoyed the show thoroughly and are now looking forward to rehearsing for our very own stage production of Aladdin featuring all Year 7 pupils.
