About the Show

His story is about courage — his music is about finding it. Straight from the London stage for an exclusive Playhouse engagement, The Lion features a singer-songwriter who shares the turbulent story of his family and his own brush with mortality. Chapters unfold through heartrending monologues and original songs, each one just as emotionally stirring as the next. With guitar in hand, he explores love, loss and the redemptive power of music. Hailed by critics as a “wondrous” and “spellbinding” experience, The Lion redefines the genre of musical theatre.
