The Lion King at Hollywood Pantages, Jan 26, 2027

The Lion King is one of the most recognizable stage musicals in the world, and on Tuesday, January 26, 2027, the touring production gives an evening performance at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre. If you are putting together a list of things happening in Hollywood this winter, a weeknight at the theater is an easy plan that does not eat your weekend.

When: Tuesday, January 26, 2027, 7:30 PM Where: Hollywood Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster, linked below

What to expect

The Lion King adapts Disney's animated film for the stage with songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, large-scale puppetry and costumes, and a cast that enters through the aisles during the opening number. The touring version keeps the same visual language: animal figures built as wearable puppets, sweeping African-inspired choreography and a score that carries "Circle of Life" and "Hakuna Matata."

A 7:30 PM curtain suits adults who want a proper night out and families whose kids can handle a later bedtime. Ticketmaster lists the show under Arts & Theatre, in the musical category. This is one of many dates in the Pantages run, so if this night does not fit, other performances are listed on the venue's calendar.

The venue

The Pantages is a 1930 Art Deco movie palace on Hollywood Boulevard, a short walk from the Hollywood & Vine Metro B Line station. The lobby and auditorium are part of the draw, so arrive early enough to look around before the house opens. For anyone scanning things to do in Los Angeles that feel like a real occasion, classic theater in a landmark room is hard to beat.

Practical info

Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, and prices vary by seating section and demand, so check the listing for current availability. Parking near Hollywood Boulevard fills quickly on show nights, and the Metro station is the simplest option if you would rather skip the garage lines. Plan to be seated before curtain, since late seating is usually held until a break in the performance.
