Two tickets to see The Lion at Boise Contemporary Theater

The Lion

by Benjamin Scheuer

December 4-21, 2024

Directed by Off-Broadway Director and NY Times Critics Pick Sean Daniels, has redefined the genre of musical theatre. Scheuer tells, sings, and plays the turbulent story of his family and his own brush with mortality, with his supporting cast of six guitars. “A mesmerizing guitarist,” Scheuer’s “songs are awfully well-constructed; there’s a hint of Paul Simon in Scheuer’s easy, knowing lyrics and disciplined musicianship,” says The Washington Post. The New York Times says Scheuer “gets to the heart of the matter” in this celebrated autobiographical show. Like its hero, The Lion roars.
