Walt Disney’s long running and multi-award winning musical The Lion King continues to delight audiences in London’s West End. Based on the Disney animated film, The Lion King came to state on Broadway in 1997 and The Lion King London opened in October 1999, playing to packed houses ever since!
Set against the grand Serengeti Plains and to the unique rhythms of Africa, Disney’s The Lion King is unlike anything ever before seen in musical theatre, and will redefine your expectations of what theatre can be. Director and designer Julie Taymor crafts a colorful, imaginative and highly creative world that brings the plants and animals of Africa to live.
Featuring the original songs from the 1994 film, including “Circle of Life”, Can You Feel the Love Tonight”, “Be Prepared” and “Hakuna Matata” The Lion King musical is a treat for audiences of all ages. Families young and old continue to pack the Lyceum Theatre with their Lion King tickets to celebrate in the impressive storytelling that transports you to a wonderful world that explodes with glorious colours, breathtaking effects and enjoyable music.
