This week, The Lion King surpassed The Phantom of the Opera as Broadway’s all-time highest grossing show.
The Disney musical has grossed $853,846,062 while the Phantom, which opened almost ten years before The Lion King, has made a total of $853,122,847.
The Lion King was able to outdo the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical because it’s housed in a slightly larger theater, and the show’s tickets are more expensive than the average Broadway show.
