The dazzling London show is mesmerizing theatre lovers of all ages successfully. The brilliant onstage presentation makes The Lion King delightful experience. The building of Lyceum Theatre had been used as a circus between the years 1794 and 1809. It was brought by Philip Astley after his amphitheatre was burnt to ashes at Westminister. « less

This was truly great! I went with my friends from class, and everyone loved it. I cried when Mofasa dies, mostly because I knew that I wouldn't hear his amazing voice again. Must see

this is the second time i went to see lion king. it's really pretty good. the sound system is better in NYC. i noticed that the people in London don't really dressed up to see broadway, unlike NY. we went with few relatives and friends. we all enjoyed it. one of the relative we went with, has seen this show...

This was my third visit to the Lyceum Theatre to see the Lion Kin and I was not disappointed. The cast still performed with amazing zest and you would have thought it was the first night! The sets are magnificient and the location and theatre add to the fun . Singing was amazing and the story captivating specially for children.... More

A great show. Well worth seeing! Staff very keen to help you find your seat, particularly if you need help. A little expensive at the interval, ice creams £4 each!

Very creative way to present the Lion King show, as i didn't expert this at all. You will need to go watch it to find out how creative it is. :p We got the grand circle seats & it was good. If you have extra budget, should consider getting the royal circle or stalls seat. We definitely enjoy the show!... More

The colour of the costumes ,sets and lighting are amazing , the quality of the sound is very good indeed,and the energy of the performers fresh and enthusiastic. OK the story is lightweight, but the whole thing is a great spectacle.

This is an amazing show, beautifully done and the music is wonderful. The show might to a bit long for very young visitors but that is the only negative thing I could say. A must see
