I haven't seen the show in well over 10 years and it blew me away as a grown up as much as it did when I saw it at the age of 10. It was fantastic and i can't recommend it enough for any Disney/Lion King fans of all ages. Just on a side note, be prepared to pay over-odds for snacks and drinks, and also advise on taking toilet breaks just before/after the interval as the queues get quiet long!

Fabulous show which was enjoyed by children and adults. We paid £155 each for our four seats so why oh why do the theatre ask for an additional fee for the child booster seats. Come on people, we saved long and hard for this experience and sadly, this spoiled our visit. I know all theatres need to cover their maintenance costs but the cost of the ticket plus a booking fee should cover expenses surely? I can see that the total cost for a day out to visit any theatre in london is going to be out of most people’s reach, which is a real shame.

Overall this musical is very good. The costumes are fantastic The stage setting is ok, could be better now affects have improved som much over past 20years. Story follows that of the cartoon so ideal for children to.attend. however, this is reason for not giving 5 stars. Price. Wow.. stalls unbelieveable where on earth have families with young children got £118. For the cheapest tickets with a decent view. Family of 4 can work out almost £500 for a 90 min show This is day light robbery. We paid £75. Per seat for end of isle with slightly restricted view had I paid that for children I would have been very upset. This was for stalls Row J seats 6 and 7. Yet all that said ppl did take children I can only say these must be a ove working class families. Would I return not at them prices totally disgusting

In March 2025, with its concluding performances, The Lion King will have run for almost 30 years. One might wonder at such longevity, assuming the stage production to be no more than a re-enactment of the 1994 film. And one would not be more wrong. The opening scene, with elephants in the aisles, the bright costumes, the creative lighting, the live music: all create a sensory sensation that truly is transcendental. A wonderful evening with London theater at its best.

What a superb show. It's great to see an audience with ages ranging from very young to very mature and all enjoying the show equally. Just love this show. The only downside is that the Lyceum Theatres public areas are quite small and quickly get full. The Lion 🦁 King 🤴 is a must-see show for everyone it's great...

The talent in this show is AMAZING!! What I didn't like was the Chippendale show from the hyena's. It was inappropriate for children and my teenaged children spoke out afterwards and said that it made them feel uncomfortable to see slicked up men gyrating on the stage. I had to agree that it was NOT necessary and not appropriate. I am sure many parents were not cool with that portion of the show, since it is supposed to be a children's show. Maybe you could make an X rated show for adults, but please take that portion out of the children's show. Thanks.

Fantastic musical, my 7 year old daughter wanted to see it again as soon as we left the theatre! The only downside was the audience - we went to a matinee which I guess inevitably means more children and a bit more chatter, but there were full grown adults shouting out when some of the characters appeared, as though they’re sitting in their living room shouting at the TV! Also - when did it become a ‘thing’ for people to eat and drink so much during theatre shows? I wish the theatres would have a no food & drink in the auditorium rule (surely that is what the interval is for!?). Or at least not sell crisps and sweets in noisy packets. The rustling of hundreds of these during the show creates a really quite loud, annoying noise which just prevents you being able to immerse yourself in the performance and the music. That said, the musical itself is great, some spectacular scenes with the animals, and anyone who loves the Lion King film will adore it.

We had a really difficult time deciding which West End show to see. We eventually decided on The Lion King - and boy, are we glad we did! The show itself was mesmerizing and beautiful. The talent did a great job and the singing was stupendous -especially Nala and Mufasa! We sat in stall H in an aisle seat and it was a wonderful spot, not too close to the stage and not too far back where you can’t see all the action. We paid extra to sit in the Ambassador Lounge (VIP experience) before the show, during intermission, and afterwards. Totally worth it! You can leave your jackets upstairs and order drinks/ snacks without having to wait in the hectic crowd. Plus you have a private bathroom to use throughout the show! The entire show was just breathtaking and we couldn’t stop talking about it the remainder of our trip! Now we can’t wait to visit London again and see another West End production!

This was our first time seeing The Lion King musical and it truely didn't disappoint. Each of the cast, from youngest to the oldest did an amazing, spellbinding job, their talents shining out to perform beautifully. The music was fantastic and the vocals made you laugh and at times brought a tear to the eye too. I won't hesitate to recommend to everyone and anyone, the journey to London is well worth it!!

Our kids surprised us with tickets to "The Lion King" in London. Initially, I wasn't sure what to expect, but midway through the performance, I was completely captivated. The actors, stage performances, and special effects were all amazing. The show was very well choreographed and included elements of comedy. The only issue was that it had to end! My wife enjoyed every moment and, for once, she didn't fall asleep. Highly recommended—definitely a 10 out of 10 from us.
