What a show like the Lion King at the Peace Center does for Greenville’s economy; by the numbers:

#️⃣ 32: The number of shows (between May and June 25)
💃🏽 134: The number of people in the cast and crew who stay and spend money in Greenville during the month of the show
🎭 2,014: Capacity at the Peace Center
👀 64,448: Number of people who could potentially see the show (if every show sold out)
🎟️ $35 – $115: The price range of tickets
💰💰 $17.8M: The economic impact of The Lion King on Greenville in 2012 (the last time it was in town)

As if the show itself wasn’t enough incentive already…tickets for tonight’s show are here.

(Plus, stay tuned for our interview with cast members, dropping later this week.) 👋🏽
