The much anticipated return of Disney's The Lion King hits the Segerstrom Center for the arts in Costa Mesa February 1-25, 2024 and I had the pleasure to talk with Darian Sanders AKA Simba.
He talks about his journey to get here, what he did and continues to do while touring, his son and what he hopes audiences get out of the production. With more than 70 global theatrical awards how can you go wrong, plus your jaw will drop when you see the amazing expanding Pride Rock go from 8' to 18' feet before your eyes no matter how young or old you are. It is seriously a treat for the senses.
