The other new additions to The Lion King cast include Eric Andre and Keegan-Michael Key, who will play Azizi and Kamari. The Lion King will be a recreation of live action with digital effects, meaning the characters will be animals — with some of the best voices in Hollywood today. But The Lion King has also stayed relevant through its twenty consecutive years as the Broadway musical, winning six Tony awards. The Lion King is the highest grossing stage musical of all time, reaching $6.2 billion in 2014. The Lion King is slated to open July 19th, 2019.
