If you like 'The Lion King' then you will want to see this 'new kid on the block' - “Shona The Musical” which will delight and amaze in equal measure.

So if you are looking for a theatrical experience that will change you forever, grab your chance to be part of the audience in first showings of 'Shona The Musical”.
