"The Lion King" is now the highest-grossing Broadway production of all time. Julie\\xa0Taymor\\xa0hadn\'t seen the Disney film when she was approached to direct\\xa0the project, but she had spent years studying the masks, mythology, and ancient ritual drama of indigenous peoples in\\xa0Indonesia. She tells host Alec Baldwin how she incorporates\\xa0theater\'s primal magic into her many stage and screen projects: from the Beatles-soundtracked cosmic narrative of "Across the Universe;" to the elemental brutality\\xa0of "Titus;" to\\xa0her recent\\xa0hallucinatory\\xa0production\\xa0of "A Midsummer Night\'s Dream."
