The Tony Award-winning musical The Lion King has recently celebrated its 20^th anniversary in Times Square on the Broadway Plaza and we can freely say that the show is still roaring after 20 years on stage.

Elton John, who wrote the music for the Disney animated movie, was a surprised guest for the occasion and performed his hit song “Circle of Life” with the show’s company. If you still haven’t seen it, purchase your tickets here and enjoy the never-ending story of growing up and sticking up for yourself.

Twenty-four global productions of the musical have been seen by more than 90 million people all over the world and the president and producer of Disney Theatricals, Thomas Schumacher feels very proud. The show employs over 1,100 people and both Schumacher and Elton agree that director Julie Taymor is the one who elevated the material from two dimensions to three.

Julie, who studied puppetry in Japan and Indonesia, designed the costumes and paid attention to every detail. She even called composer and singer, Lebo M. to compose new music for the stage version so that the show is more authentically African.

The journey of Simba, a lion cub which goes on a journey of self-discovery, became his personal story since he himself left Africa a as young and vulnerable kid. Simba’s return to reclaim the throne of his murdered father Mustafa is best portrayed in Lebo M.’s song “He Lives In You” when Simba realizes his father isn’t gone as long as he roams the savanna and caries him in his heart. This Circle-of-life-kind of show sells out every single performance because it tells us that there will be time after us and that everything’s going to be all right. Enjoy this captivating story and  get your tickets here.

After Disney’s animated movie The Lion King rocked the cinemas in 1994 and Elton John’s songs “Can you feel the love tonight”, “Hakuna Matata” and “Circle of Life” warmed our hearts, the musical officially opened on Broadway in November, 1997. The musical was an instant hit, becoming even bigger than the movie and is still extremely popular.  This fable brought to life didn’t just win six Tony Awards and eight Drama Desk Awards but it also grossed over $1 billion, more than all Star Wars together. In fact, this musical grossed more money than any Broadway show, film release or other entertainment title in box office in the world. With over 8,310 performances, it is the third longest-running show in history after The Phantom of the Opera and Chicago.

The 19-year-old singer and songwriter Khalid has confirmed his European dates throughout February and announced the North American leg starting in early 2018 and continuing in May and June 2018.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear this rising star and buy your tickets here.

Khalid recently performed in Europe, supporting Lorde on her Melodrama tour. Kicking off his Roxy tour on January 27 in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, he will perform in Europe throughout February in Berlin, Stockholm, Warsaw, Munich and other major cities including three U.K. shows in London, Glasgow and Manchester. Khalid will then perform for audiences in Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver, Austin and Philadelphia among others during May and June. The tour wraps up on June 7 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Tickets for all venues can be purchased here.

Since he is a passionate advocate for pet adoption, Khalid will donate $1 to a local animal shelter for every ticket sold in each city. His tour is named Roxy after his pit bull mix, which Khalid rescued from a Los Angeles animal shelter.

November 28 was a great day for this young artist since he was nominated for five Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Best R&B Song, Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Music Video. On the same day he announced his 2018 tour.

This young singer from El Paso Texas released his debut album “American Teen” in March 2017. His debut single “Location” was released in July 2016 and was certified platinum. “Location” is about how in digital time we are so caught up in communication over our phones rather than face to face. He wrote it for a girl referencing to young love and how he would rather speak to her looking her in her eyes instead of tweeting. With this strong message, song gained such immense popularity.

That very song is nominated for Song of the Year Grammy Award. Khalid has said his mother is his greatest inspiration and also cited Kendrick Lamar, Lorde, Frank Ocean and James Blake as influences.
