Is using disney music and characters in an elementary play breaking copyright laws?

My elementary school is planning a play “The Lion King” using music from the broadway play. We will not be charging any money for the play. Do we need to apply for rights or permission from Disney? If so, how or where would we do this at?
What if I used a “Lion King Karaoke” CD for the production?
