Welcome to Roots’ School of Theatre! Our KIDS shows are for performers in grades K – 5th. In our musical theatre productions we limit the number of actors per cast, to ensure quality of instruction and experience for each young actor. All young performers are guaranteed a speaking and/or solo singing role in the production as well as singing and dancing throughout the entire show.
The Lion King Kids
Music & Lyrics By: Tim Rice and Elton John
Disney’s The Lion King has captivated the imagination of audiences around the world, and now your young actor has the opportunity to join this one-of-a-kind musical! Help us bring the African savanna to life onstage with Simba, Rafiki and an unforgettable cast of characters as they journey from Pride Rock to the jungle and back again in this inspiring, coming-of-age tale.
The Lion King KIDS features classic songs from the Broadway musical and animated feature film, including “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “He Lives in You,” and “Hakuna Matata.”

What make’s Roots’ School of Theatre different?
✨ The All-Inclusive Price & Small-Cast Guarantee One Price. Zero Stress. Every Performer Shines. When you register for a full-semester production at Roots’ School of Theatre, you aren’t just signing your child up for a weekly class—you’re securing a hassle-free, high-quality theatrical experience for your performer and your family.- Guaranteed Roles (No Audition Required to join the production): We strictly limit our cast sizes to ensure personalized, elite instruction. Because our cast sizes are small, every single performer is guaranteed a part with spoken lines and/or musical solos. No one gets lost in a massive ensemble. (Auditions are still required so directors can determine casting)
- No Extra Fee just to audition.
- No Costume Sourcing: We design, source, and provide almost all your performer’s high-quality costumes and props. Some basic undergarments or very simple costume pieces may need to be provided (these are items you probably already have at home). No specialty shoes or expensive dance attire is required.
- No Mandatory Volunteering: Your time is valuable. We never require parents to work weekends, set-building, or backstage chaperone shifts. No need to serve on a committee.
- Free Performance Tickets: Your registration includes complimentary tickets for parents, family, and friends to watch the final semester showcase. No hidden box-office fees at checkout.
