MESSAGE FROM JOSE:
“Many don’t know this, but being on Broadway has always been a long time dream/aspiration of mine. More specifically, being cast as Simba in Broadway’s “The Lion King” Musical. That’s why this new venture, while dream adjacent, means so much to me. I may not be Simba on Broadway, but I am SIMBA, nonetheless!
Thank you, Disneyland, Paris, for this awesome opportunity. I couldn’t be more excited and I can’t wait to be able to (finally) bring this character to life.”
