After more than two years, Malibu Middle School students will return to the stage in the upcoming musical, The Lion King Jr.

“There is nothing like being able to perform together again, and the kids are very excited,” Malibu High School Choral Director Krysta Sorensen said. “This will be our first live show in the theater since the COVID 19 shut-down in March 2020, and we are looking forward to sharing The Lion King Jr. with everyone.”

This year’s musical will be performed live in the MHS auditorium on February 10, 11, and 12 at 7 p.m. and on Feb. 13 at 1 p.m. 

“The students are thrilled to be back in person in the theatre; this is the first time we have been in theatres since February of 2020,” MMHS Arts and Angels President Jolynn Regan said. “February of 2020, we had a show at the Malibu Playhouse, so this will be the first time we have been back in our theatre, and everyone is very excited.”
