A "Lion" will lead them
If you thought the mad stampede for tickets for the touring production of "Wicked" was big, wait until next year - when "The Lion King" roars into Salt Lake City's Capitol Theatre.

Broadway Across America announced its 2009-2010 season - highlighted by the puppetry-filled adaptation of the Disney cartoon, running Aug. 11-Sept. 12, 2010.

Also coming next season, all to the Capitol Theatre:
  • "The Wedding Singer," a stage musical adaptation of the Adam Sandler comedy, Dec. 8-13.
  • "Avenue Q," the acclaimed and rather adult puppet-driven musical, Feb. 2-7, 2010.
  • "Legally Blonde," a stage musical adaptation of the Reese Witherspoon comedy (detecting a trend here?), March 23-28, 2010.
Of course, season-ticket holders get the first shot at securing tickets, something the Broadway Across America folks are banking on. Let's be real: Without the lure of "The Lion King," how many people are likely to buy tickets for "The Wedding Singer"?
