We’ve already shared a look at the vaccination and testing requirements for Broadway shows, and the dates that 2 Disney on Broadway shows will return. But, what if you can’t make it to New York? No problem! You can actually be a part of the grand re-opening of one classic Disney on Broadway show right from the comfort of your couch!

On Tuesday (September 14th) at 7PM ET, head to the Disney on Broadway TikTok account for a LIVE performance of the opening number from the show — Circle of Life — in celebration of the show’s return to Broadway. There will also be a special pre-show hosted by Adrienne Walker (Nala), as well as an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the people who bring the The Lion King show to life!
@disneyonbroadway It is time. Join us on September 14th for a special live stream of our first performance!

The TikTok LIVE event is being held in support of The Actors Fund. According to Disney, The Actors Fund has actually “provided more than $22.6 million in direct financial assistance to more than 16,600 people since the beginning of the Broadway shutdown.”
So, if you’re a big fan of The Lion King, live theater, or just Disney in general, be sure to set your calendars for this special performance!
