"The Lion King" For Mandalay Bay

To follow "Mamma Mia":

It's official. After a long run ending in January, Mandalay Bay has just confirmed ... that "The Lion King" will be the replacement show entering the theater after "Mamma Mia." Unlike "Jersey Boys" and "Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular," the Vegas version of "The Lion King" will not be altered particularly for the Strip. According to the press release:

Mandalay Bay’s production of THE LION KING will be virtually identical to the other companies seen around the globe and will be staged with all of the same spectacular music, sets, and costumes that have made it a worldwide phenomenon.
