The LION KING at REPS

Rayong English Programme School


A very ambitious undertaking with any students, but even more impressive is doing the “Lion King” show in English with students that speak Thai as their native language. The masks, make-up and costumes were brilliant, all made by the students and teachers. The music, staging, and choreography were also amazing, and the singing even surprised me.                  After hundreds of hours and countless rehearsals, the two afternoon performances, and three evening shows were completely sold out with over 300 attending each one. A massive success for all involved. In addition to working on almost everything, I also filmed the show and spent many, many hours editing the 120-minute DVD. The photos may give you some idea of the complexity and hard work that went into the production.
OK guys stop fighting over me!
