Lion King Monte Casino
This year is going to prove to be a very special one for the South African audience who will get to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of “The Lion King” as a Broadway musical. There are very few of us who have not seen the wonderful Disney animated movie “The Lion King” brought out in 1997, some years back.

The Lion King is a musical based on the 1994 Walt Disney Animation Studios' animated feature film of the same name with music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, and book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi, along with additional music and lyrics by Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor, and Hans Zimmer. Book shows movies@ Montecasino. Tickets are not available for online purchase. Purchase tickets from our on-site ticket desk. Address: Montecasino, Cnr William Nicol Drive & Witkoppen Road, Fourways, Sandton, Gauteng Tel: 011 511-0244.
Montecasino is a leisure and casino complex in Fourways, Sandton in Gauteng, South Africa. It was designed by American company Creative Kingdom Inc. And built by South African architects Bentel Associates International at a cost of R1.6 billion.
The production will take place on the South African stage in Johannesburg where we will be provided with a spectacular musical, showcasing the immense talent we have in South Africa. Lebo M, a musician and a composer, was part of the original production of the animated Lion King in New York and will again take part in the musical. The music featured will be totally home grown with well-known tunes like “Pridelands” and “Circle of Life” making it a truly South African event.
For those whose memory is a bit hazy on the story line of “The Lion King” here is a quick refresher. Simba, a lion cub, loses his father in death to his malicious uncle who desires to rule as king. For many years Simba secretly hides away in the jungle until he is older and more capable of overthrowing his cruel uncle, replacing him as king, as he rightly should be.
The Lion King production is set to open on the 6th of June 2007 at the 1,900-seat Monte Casino theater. Casting for the fifty-three artists needed to make the musical a reality began last year September. Ever since the first production of the movie South Africa has played an important role in making the movie the hit it has been. It only makes sense that the tenth anniversary of the Lion King Broadway production would then take place in the country that has had so much influence and involvement in it.

Julie Taymor, an award winning director; Thomas Schumacher, a well-known producer; Pieter Toerien, an experienced theater producer; and Lebo M, a composer are just some of the few highly qualified members that will help make the musical a great success for all people, young and old, to enjoy. Many cast members taking part in the South African version of the Lion Kingmusical have taken part in many similar versions around the world. These cast members include Buyi Zama who plays Rafiki, Andile Gumbi as Simba and Sello Make as Mufasa. The official sponsors of this truly memorable event will be SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation) and South Africa Telkom.
ALAN COMMITTIE returns in
THE LYING KING: THE CIRCLE OF LAUGH
Alan Committie returns to Johannesburg with his latest one-man show.
Once again, he will take a slightly skewered look at events from the past year, outline the comically bizarre possibilities for the following 12 months and try to make audiences laugh their way through the eye-popping confusion of modern day living.
We live in a world that thrives on mistruths, fake news, white lies and ‘mild inconsistencies“… and that’s just on your first date! Wait till you really get to know each other!
We have all become Lying Kings in our own little way. Despite our best efforts to fight it. Committie is here to unpack all the hilarious collatoral damage that we have to encounter.
In this brand new solo show, Committie will talk about intermittent fasting, Heidi en Klara and other 80’s tv deceits, the frustration of autocorrect, the lure of the finger biscuit and the spectacle of wearing glasses…..Or perhaps not talk about any of these things. Because December is some days away and things are moving very fast……

Committie is renowned for his witty and high energy material and combined with his madcap physicality and clean content makes for an ideal year-end break from all the stresses of 2020
Bring your youngsters, bring your aged and even bring your neighbour and come and have a riotous laugh and a gleeful giggle at Montecasino.
Plus, if you’re lucky, Committie will perform the entire opening sequence of the Lion King by himself playing all the animals except for the Kwagga (for legal reasons)….
It’s the CIIIIIIRRRRCCCLLLEEEE OF……LAAAAAUUUUGGH!!
