Melbourne has secured the return of hit musical The Lion King.


The hugely successful show will return to The Regent Theatre in February next year, 10 years after it graced the same historical stage.


Disney Theatrical Group president Tom Schumacher told Radio 3AW that there have been some tweaks to the much-loved musical because "a show is a living thing performed by living people, so over the years the show has been refined and changed a little."
