Lion King Play: Copyright?

The best way is to find the rightholder off the play (isnt it a musical?) and ask. Id say its easier and cheaper for schools to get rights if the play/musical has been realesed than its for pro production but a number off factors can determin if you get it or not (like if the play/musical has been done in youre region lately, or if they dont think youll live up to theyre minimum standards etc.) so thats why its better to ask.
