From humble (卑微的) beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her transformation into global Queen of Rock n' Roll, Tina Turner didn't just break the rules, she rewrote them.

●The Lion King
Taking the famous story of Simba and his ascension to (登上) king, the stage show is a one-way ticket to Pride Lands. With fascinating scenery drawing you in, you'll almost feel like you're part of the action as you journey through Simba's world. To bring The Lion King to life, the show's original director, Julie Taymor, combined live performers and creative props ( 道具). Creating a visual feast that's since redefined how musicals could and should look, The Lion King really is an all singing, all-dancing affair.
