The award-winning Lion King production is coming to Mandalay Bay in early summer. This is the first time a Disney theatrical production has been launched in Las Vegas.

The show will start on May 2, 2008. It will join six other productions of The Lion King taking place around the world.

“We're incredibly pleased to bring The Lion King to the audiences of Las Vegas,” said Thomas Schumacher, producer of The Lion King.

The Lion King is replacing the long-running Mamma Mia which premiered in 2003.

Ticket prices and sale dates have yet to be announced.
