Sensory Friendly Mufasa: The Lion King
January 4 @ 9:30 am – 11:30 am
PG | 1h 58min | Animation, Adventure, Musical
Director: Barry Jenkins
Stars: Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone
Some say the best rulers are those who least want that kind of power. Mufasa: The Lion King puts this theory to the test as it recounts Mufasa’s (voiced by Aaron Pierre) journey from low-born cub to the Pride Lands’ great uniter—and eventual king.
This follow-up to 2019’s The Lion King remake is a “punchy, heartfelt and rather ingenious drama,” declares The Guardian. Director Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) crafted an “impactful origin story” that “reveals hidden depths to familiar characters,” commends Variety.
All tickets will be discounted to $8.75 for this special event.
The Lindsay, which pioneered sensory friendly screenings northwest of Pittsburgh in 2017, schedules these showings to be the only events in the Theater and provides adequate staffing to create an enjoyable, low stress atmosphere for all attending.
Tickets are available online and at the door. Please email the Theater if you are unable to attend because of ticket costs.
Sensory friendly screenings are specially designed for families who have children with special needs. The films are shown with lights up and volume down, and patrons are free to move around the theater or talk during the screenings. The Lindsay has offered several sensory friendly film showings since its inception; recent screenings include Moana 2, The Wild Robot, and Kung Fu Panda 4.
