    We saw The Lion King in London’s West End and it was honestly such a special experience. When “Circle of Life” started and the performers came down the aisles, the whole theatre went completely quiet – it gave me goosebumps. The stage feels a bit more intimate, but that actually makes everything feel closer and more immersive. The costumes are incredible and so detailed, and the music sounds even more powerful live. Watching it with my daughter made it even better – she was completely absorbed the entire time. Definitely one of those shows you walk out of still thinking about.

    The Lion King show was simply majestic. The sets are absolutely stunning, breathtakingly beautiful, and the costumes are incredibly impressive. The songs and dances are captivating from beginning to end. You don’t want to miss a single moment — you’re almost afraid to blink in case you miss something on stage. It was pure magic. I already can’t wait to go back, because one thing is certain: I will definitely see it again!

    It is a very family-friendly musical, which was also reflected in the majority of the audience, as the story is not too complicated, but is presented in an interesting way. Both the numerous children and the adult performers gave an admirable performance. Every scene was entertaining, from the beginning to the very last second. I saw the musical for the first time in London and was very impressed! The music was also beautiful, and I was unfamiliar with most of the songs, except for about two. Although I was sitting in the back row, I had a good view of the entire stage.

    The show is very good, everything is a little smaller, so you can actually see well from every seat. Except for the back right and left, I would say you can't go wrong. Some of the songs or parts of them are a little loud, which is a bit unpleasant. But that's only a small percentage, so it doesn't significantly detract from the experience :). I think the foyer is poorly designed. It's very small, with hardly any places to sit. Admission is two hours before the show, so you either have to be there early to get a seat or limit yourself to arriving half an hour before, when the doors open. It's not really possible to sit together comfortably beforehand. The prices for drinks and snacks are okay, London level, i.e., you pay the same everywhere else. Drinks and popcorn are allowed in the auditorium, but hot food is not.
