gorgeous theatre, staff were so nice. super easy to get around and i had an amazing seat (A19). had to lean forward slightly at times to see the front of the stage but so worth it. would definitely go again.

We were visiting London for four days for the first time in our lives with our four daughters. They were amazed to see their favorite characters come to life right before their eyes. It was magical!

This is the second time I've seen this show, and it's just as memorable as ever. The first time, I was in the "stalls" section and the view was superb. This time, we were in the Grand Circle, which is really high up. The stage was clearly visible with no obstructions, but it was far away, of course. The only downside was that from that height, we could see some of the set changes. But we still enjoyed the show with great enthusiasm. No complaints about the acting, from the children to the adults. Everyone contributed to making this performance of *The Lion King* wonderful. The songs and dances are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Beautiful show, I really loved the costumes and staging. The entire cast and ensemble did an amazing job. I especially loved the Joe Griffiths-Brown as Enjolras and Oliver Savile as Javert. I would definitely watch it again if I had the chance.

A sensational show. The sets and the atmosphere impressed me the most. The sound and the vocals were flawless. I loved the way they blended old and new songs and how they evoked such strong emotions.
