Disney’s landmark musical THE LION KING has made its triumphant return to Sydney’s iconic Capitol Theatre. From the moment Pride Rock emerges from the mist to the iconic opening notes of Circle of Life, this Broadway spectacular brings the Serengeti to life on stage with breathtaking visual artistry, giant puppetry, and unforgettable music by Elton John and Tim Rice.

To help local theatre lovers experience this world-class production without the stress of driving or arranging city parking, Rixons is running a dedicated overnight Sydney getaway on 4–5 October 2026.
