Behind the scenes of 'The Lion King' at the Murat Theatre

WTHR's Alyssa Raymond got the chance to go behind the scenes and check out the action backstage of the show.

INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — If you were around during the 90s, chances are you know (and love) Disney's The Lion King.

The Academy Award-winning film turned Tony Award-winning Broadway show has been making its way to stages around the country for decades now.

WTHR's Alyssa Raymond got the chance to go behind the scenes and check out the action backstage of the show.

Alyssa met with wardrobe supervisor Gregory Young, who described the costume chances backstage as "organized chaos." He said some of the costume changes are as short as two minutes, which can be pandemonium with 27 performers.

Alyssa also talked with Darlene Drew, who is a flutist in the show's orchestra. The music of "The Lion King" is some of the most iconic in film and stage history.

Drew plays 13 flutes during the show, from all over the world. Drew said the instruments she plays can almost be matched to characters in the show — like a high-pitched flute representing young Simba, while the deep, scary tones of another flute are reminiscent of Scar.

Drew is part of a 10-person orchestra that features four drummers.

"The Lion King" runs through Sept. 29 at the Murat Theatre at the Old National Centre. Find tickets here.
