Summary

Get ready for The Lion King’s roaring return to Brisbane this November—marking its comeback after a record-breaking 2014 run that turned QPAC into a circus of ticket chaos. But while the king of the stage is back, the live theatre scene is in survival mode: major tours like Beetlejuice, Waitress, and next year’s Back to the Future and Dear Evan Hansen are folding under rising costs, shrinking budgets, and hesitant audiences. Producers are pleading for government help, pushing for a 40% tax offset inspired by the UK’s success. Tickets go on sale July 23 at 9 AM—don’t sleep on this one.
