The Lion King has been given a seven-week extended run at The Edinburgh Playhouse due to "exceptional demand" – and tickets go on slae on Thursday morning at 10am.
Extra performances will run from Tuesday, February 11 until Sunday, March 29.
The show was originally scheduled to run from Thursday, December 5 until Sunday, February 9, but the extension was announced after tickets proved so popular.
The musical show has been running at London's Lyceum Theatre for almost 20 years and has only toured around the UK once before.
The run in Edinburgh will prove its biggest yet, surpassing the previous 15-week record set in 2013.
Colin Marr, theatre director at the Edinburgh Playhouse, said: "We have seen exceptional demand for Disney's The Lion King's return to the Playhouse. From Edinburgh locals to across Scotland from the borders to Shetland islands.
"We have seen bookings from across the globe – from Netherlands, United Arab Emirates to Australia and South Korea. We can't wait to welcome even more audiences to this phenomenal show and to our incredible city."
