It’s been a smash hit on Broadway, running for years and scooping up the lion’s share of Tony Awards. Now Vancouver finally gets to experience “Circle of Life,” “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and all the other toe-tappingly great songs by Elton John and Tim Rice in this popular musical based on the equally beloved animated movie. At the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (Jul. 13 to Aug. 8). Hakuna matata.—Sheri Radford
Mickey Mouse takes to the sea
Mickey Mouse, the big cheese himself, is northern bound. Starting in May 2011, Disney Cruise Line will offer family-friendly cruises to Alaska departing from Vancouver. See www.disneycruise.disney.go.com for details.—Sheri Radford

It’s not all smiles and singalongs for the Disney characters in the Fallen Princesses exhibit at Buschlen Mowatt Gallery (Oct. 15 to Nov. 15). Vancouver photographer Dina Goldstein’s portraits show fairy tale princesses planted in bleakly realistic situations, including Rapunzel’s golden hair lost to chemotherapy and Snow White’s “happily ever after” with her prince (pictured).—Kristina Urquhart
