The show experts at OnlineTickets.com will help you find the perfect event to attend for you and your family, so there's no fuss or boredom involved. Here are just a few of the must-see events going on this summer:
The Lion King
Journey to Pride Rock in one of Broadway's most coveted musicals. Julie Taymor's The Lion King on Broadway puts a new spin on Walt Disney's 1994 animated classic The Lion King, and recreates the movie's magic in the form of incredible puppetry, astonishing costumes, and astounding choreography that will have audiences of every age amazed! The chilling brilliance of The Lion King begins in the opening scene, where antelopes, cheetahs, giraffes, and elephants leap across the stage controlled by an amazing show of puppetry set to the song "Circle of Life." The familiar story of Disney's animated classic stays intact within the play – the young lion Simba is convinced by his menacing Uncle Scar that he killed his father, King Mufasa of the Pridelands, and runs away in shame, meeting lovable meerkat and warthog Timon and Pumbaa along the way and forgetting about his noble past. Only when he comes across his childhood friend Nala does he deal with his guilty debt and realize that his former kingdom needs him, and he sets off to defeat his uncle and retain his rightful title of King. The characters are accompanied by brilliantly intricate masks and costumes, and the show consistently provides stunning special effects that literally take you within the African safari! Both adults and children will have an unforgettable experience at this numerous-award-winning, critically acclaimed musical, so set aside a date and make it a family event by attending a performance of The Lion King on Broadway this summer.
Hairspray
The motion picture feature of Hairspray is coming out on this summer on July 20, so why not see the hit Broadway show before heading to the movie theatre? Hairspray follows Tracy Turnblad, the girl with "big hair and even bigger dreams," as she pursues her dream to dance on Baltimore's coveted Corny Collins Show. After becoming an instant sensation, Tracy fights for the Miss Teenage Hairspray 1963 crown and eventually fights for an even bigger issue - racial equality and integration. Broadway's Hairspray consists of a wonderful cast that your kids may be familiar with, including former O-Town member Ashley Parker Angel and Spy Kids' Alexa Vega. With a new movie coming out this summer with an all-star cast including John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Amanda Bynes, Zac Efron, Brittany Snow, James Marsden, and newcomer Nikki Blonsky, Hairspray won't be "stopping the beat" anytime soon. Be part of the Hairspray madness with tickets to Hairspray on Broadway this summer!

The soundtrack has sold more than four million copies, the stars have toured North and South America, and a sequel will air on Disney Channel this August. Just when you thought the hit phenomenon High School Musical can't possibly reach any greater heights, get ready for the "start of something new," folks!
