Edition 1 | 2018-2019 Dear Ladies & Gentlemen, Welcome to the Saroyan Theatre for the first show of our 18-19 Fresno Lexus Broadway in Fresno season, Disney’s The Lion King. In fact, this is the first time Disney’s The Lion King has played Fresno, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. How special is Disney’s The Lion King? Where do I start? The show has been seen by over 90 million patrons worldwide, is the third longest running show on Broadway, has won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical….and that is just the beginning. I’m Mike Gibson of Fresno Lexus and as the Title Sponsor of the Broadway Series, I want to extend my personal warm welcome. Whether you are a subscriber, a frequent attendee, or at our beloved Saroyan Theatre for the first time, thank you for coming! And for the 18-19 season, we have more season ticket subscribers here in Fresno than ever before! Thank you for supporting the arts in Fresno. We are very excited to partner with Disney hosting several community outreach efforts targeted at our local youth. Helping support our community is central to our mission at Fresno Lexus. As always, we appreciate your patronage… our Broadway Series can’t happen without your support. You are going to love this performance of Disney’s The Lion King.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

THE PROUDLY SPONSORED BY LION www.telkom.co.:za K~ Touch tomorrow T .. ' ........ U.-w", .. "" .... 0 .. 0"' ..." ... U"U,l MESSAGE FROM LEBO M In November of 1997, I was on stage as a cast member, choral and vocal arranger, co-composer and portner to Mark Mancina for the music of the Broadway show of The Lion King. Little did I know that 10 years later, The Lion King would have a prestigious globol platform and position, as one of the world's most successful and inspiring Broadway productions to date. However, what I knew and what I started dreaming of was that one day we would open this show for the deserving audiences of South Africa. Approximately seven years ago, I started annoying Thomas Schumacher of Disney Theatrical and director Julie Taymor and anyone who had enough energy to listen to my dream and vision. Little did I know that it was just as real to Tom and Julie and everyone at Disney as much as it was to me. I then decided to shut my life down and focus on bringing the show here, unedited and presented exactly the way I lived it in New York and the world over.
