The Lion King at Hollywood Pantages, Feb 7, 2027

A Sunday matinee of Disney's The Lion King is a good way to spend an early-February afternoon. On February 7, 2027, the touring production takes the stage at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, the Art Deco movie palace on Hollywood Boulevard that hosts Broadway-scale musicals through much of the year.

When: Sunday, February 7, 2027, 1:00 PM Where: Hollywood Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster, linked below

What to expect

The Lion King follows Simba, a young lion who flees the Pride Lands after his father's death and eventually returns to claim his place. The musical pairs that story with songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, African rhythms and puppetry that turns performers into giraffes, gazelles and a stampeding herd of wildebeest. The animal figures are built so you can still see the performers working them, which is a large part of the charm.

The show runs roughly two and a half hours with an intermission, a comfortable length for older children. Families make up a good share of the audience, and plenty of adults go for the staging alone. A 1 PM start on a Sunday leaves the evening free, whether that means dinner nearby or getting home ahead of the Monday routine.

Planning your visit

The Pantages sits right on Hollywood Boulevard, a short walk from the Metro B Line stop at Hollywood and Vine, so the train is a simple way to skip the parking hunt. Lots and garages around the theater fill up on show days, so arrive early if you drive. Leave a few minutes to look around the lobby before you find your seat.

Ticket prices vary by section and performance, so check the Ticketmaster listing for the current range rather than relying on a number here. This date has its own listing, separate from the other Lion King performances at the Pantages, so make sure the February 7 matinee is the one you pick.

If you are putting together a list of things happening in Hollywood this winter, a Sunday matinee here is one of the easier plans to make. And for anyone sorting through things to do in Los Angeles on a February weekend, it pairs well with a walk along the Walk of Fame and an early dinner.
