PEORIA, Ill. — Theatergoers hoping to catch Disney’s The Lion King at the Prairie Home Alliance Theater at the Peoria Civic Center will have to wait for a future tour.
Broadway in Peoria announced that the planned local engagement has been canceled following news that the show’s historic 25-year North American tour will officially conclude in the summer of 2027.
While the current production is wrapping up, Disney Theatrical Group has revealed plans for a newly redesigned touring production intended to bring the landmark musical to audiences in a re-imagined format. However, no official timetable or route for the new tour has been set yet.
The Broadway in Peoria Series still has Waitress, SIX, A Beautiful Noise, and The Bodyguard coming this season.
