The popular live show “Festival of The Lion King” is returning to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World announced Thursday.

An exact date is not known yet but the show is expected to reopen this summer with the return of live entertainment.

The show which features singers, dancers, acrobats, stilt walkers, animated floats, and music from “The Lion King” film” had closed after the park went into coronavirus lockdown in mid-March.

View the full statement below:

We are thrilled to be starting the process of bringing back to work more singers, dancers, technicians and other cast members, from one of the most popular shows at Walt Disney World Resort. Expected this summer, the Harambe Theatre at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park will host that fan-favorite troupe of musical storytellers, along with Simba and his friends, in a celebration of the incomparable “Festival of the Lion King.”

When it returns, “Festival of the Lion King” will be presented in a modified format to be mindful of the current environment. There will be adjustments to the show on stage and backstage, including updates to choreography to allow for appropriate physical distancing. We’ll also adjust how the audience is seated, in line with other theater-based experiences at Walt Disney World Resort.
