The Lion King at The Pantages Theater- Heartland Charter School

Registration window September 28, 10:00 a.m. -October 4, 7:00 p.m.

Giraffes strut. Birds swoop. Gazelles leap. The entire Serengeti comes to life as never before. And as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly emerges from the mist. This is Disney’s THE LION KING, making its triumphant return to the Hollywood Pantages Theatre!

Join us as we experience the awe-inspiring visual artistry, the unforgettable music, and the uniquely theatrical storytelling of this Broadway spectacular – one of the most breathtaking and beloved productions ever to grace the stage. There is simply nothing else like THE LION KING.

Students will be able to see a full-length live theater performance in a working theater. Watching a live show will help students develop literacy in theatre, including discovering the expressive elements of theatre, understanding the terminology used to comprehend theatre, developing a clear sense of what theatre embodies, and reflecting, critiquing, and connecting personal experience to the theatre.

There is no elevator in the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, and the mezzanine (2nd) Level is accessible only by stairs. All reserved tickets will require individuals to access the mezzanine on their own using the stairs.

Ticket cost:

• Students in grades 4+ $98.00
• Chaperones $98.00

*The price for tickets paid with a credit card will be slightly higher due to the Ticketbud processing fee.

May I pay using my student's planning amount? Yes! You can pay for your student's ticket and one chaperone ticket with your student's planning amount. Reminder: Only one chaperone ticket per family may be purchased using planning amounts. 

What are the check-in procedures? Please meet Mrs. Chambless in front of The Pantages Theater at 12:00 to check in before entering the facility. Doors will open at 12:30. This field trip requires physical tickets, and your seats will be assigned. The show starts promptly at 1:00, and no late entries will be allowed. Tickets not picked up by 12:45 will be left at Will Call under the Chaperone’s First and Last Name; ID will be required to collect the tickets. Late entries will not be permitted to enter and will need to remain in the lobby until an appropriate time for the usher to escort you to your seat. Please save my cell phone number for any last-minute communication: 661-805-1569.

Who may attend? This field trip is limited to students in grades 4th and above. Non-enrolled siblings may attend if their birthday is on or after 12/19/2016 (ages 10 and above). Up to two chaperones per family are allowed.

Is there on-site parking available? Traffic in and around Hollywood can be congested at times, so you’ll want to allow yourself plenty of time to get here, find parking, use the restroom, and purchase concessions before the event begins. Ushers will direct you to your seat and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the theatre’s amenities. Directions to the theater from all directions can be found here. Over a dozen independently managed parking lots are located within two blocks of the Hollywood Pantages Theatre. Prices generally range from $10 to $20 (subject to change). Many parking lots now close at 12 AM, and we suggest checking the closing times of all lots when parking. You may pre-book parking on this website.

Can we pack snacks or lunch for this event or field trip? The Pantages Theater does NOT allow outside food or drink. This includes restaurant take-out or leftovers.

How to Reserve Your Spot

To officially join us on this field trip, you must complete both steps of our registration process. Please follow these directions carefully:

Step 1: Check out on Ticketbud

Complete the checkout process here on Ticketbud. This initiates your reservation. *If you want to pay with your student funds, please reserve tickets labeled "Paid with student funds through Procurify".

• Confirmation: You will receive an email confirmation from Ticketbud once your order is complete.
• Tip: If you do not see the email within a few minutes, please check your Spam/Junk folder. If you cannot find a confirmation email from Ticketbud, you did not successfully reserve tickets.
• Action: Once you have your confirmation, move immediately to Step 2.

Step 2: Place your Order in Procurify

Your spot is not confirmed until an order is placed in the Procurify system for students who are enrolled in Heartland and their chaperones. You do NOT need to place an order in Procurify for siblings who are not enrolled.

• Search: Log in to Procurify, search the name of this field trip in the catalog, and complete your order as you would for any other educational resource.
• Note: Do NOT place a Procurify order for siblings who are not enrolled in Heartland.
• Deadline: You must place your Procurify order within 3 days of your Ticketbud registration.
• IMPORTANT! Registration Requirement: To avoid losing your spot, both steps must be completed. Failure to place an order in Procurify within the three-day window will result in removal from the attendee list, and funds will be manually deducted from your account.

Heartland events are designed for families to attend together. Students need to be accompanied by an adult chaperone. If your student will be attending with another family, please email the field trip host to let them know once you complete your registration. Chaperones must be the legal parent or 25 years and older. All chaperones must be healthy, ethical people with the skills to be responsible adult chaperones.

Please review our Field Trip Refund & Attendance Policy!

To ensure we can provide these experiences to as many students as possible, please review our commitment and refund guidelines before registering.

All Sales are Final

• No Refunds: Once a ticket is reserved or purchased, we cannot offer a refund for any reason, including illness, scheduling conflicts, or a change of plans.
• Non-Transferable: Tickets are tied specifically to the student account used at registration. They cannot be sold, gifted, or transferred to another family.

The "No-Show" Policy

Because Heartland pre-pays many venues based on Ticketbud headcounts, an unused ticket is a direct loss of school resources.

• Fund Deduction: If a family reserves a spot and does not place an order in Procurify, the student's planning amount will still be manually deducted from their Procurify account, and the student will be removed from the attendee list.
• Loss of Access: Families who are frequent "no-shows" may lose access to future field trip registrations. We track attendance to ensure that limited spots go to families who are committed to attending.

Professional Courtesy: If an emergency arises, and you truly cannot make it:

• Notify the Lead Teacher: Please email the organizing teacher as soon as possible.
• Why it matters: This prevents the entire group from waiting at the venue entrance for your arrival, keeping the educational program on schedule for everyone else.

Our Goal: By only registering for events you are fully committed to, you help us keep our field trip program sustainable and open to all students.
