Today and tomorrow are the final days to catch the regional premier of Disney's The Lion King Junior, being staged at Newtown High School.  NewArts: Newtown Musicals Artistic Director Michael Unger says the theme of this year's show selection is everyone makes a difference. 

Unger says Disney has "junior versions" of their popular titles, geared to middle and high schools.  Some scenes and songs have been cut so the show is an hour long, rather than two hours. 

The cast features 120 Newtown area students between the ages of 5 and 13.  30 additional Newtown students worked on the set, prop and costume construction, are running the lighting and sound, as well as the orchestra. 

Performances are Saturday at 2 and 7pm, and Sunday at noon and 5pm.
