This was my second time seeing The Lion King, and I loved it just as much as the first time. The music was outstanding, the colours and costumes were beautiful, and every actor gave an amazing performance. The atmosphere in the theatre was fantastic from the moment the show started. One of my favourite parts was seeing the animals make their entrance through the audience, which was truly magical. Even though I was sitting in one of the last rows, I could still see everything very clearly and never felt too far away from the stage. The seats offered a great view and the sound quality was excellent. It was definitely worth the money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London. Next time I might choose seats a few rows closer, but honestly it is not necessary because the experience is amazing from anywhere in the theatre.

"König der Löwen" in London zu sehen- einfach toll. Die entspannte Atmosphäre im Lyceum theatre, die mega Kostüme, so voller Fantasie, die Bühne kraas wandelbar. Man war total in der Geschichte drinnen. Die zwei Stunden sind im Flug vergangen. Jederzeit sofort wieder!!!! Im Theater gibt es einen cloak room, um Rucksäcke, Regenschirme etc abzugeben. Man kann - anders als in Deutschland- Essen und Trinken mit ins Theater nehmen. Da kontrolliert niemand die Taschen. Die Buchung über Headout war easy und hat problemlos geklappt.

Das Musical war sowohl für Kinder als au h für Erwachsene sehenswert. Die Musik ist herrlich, die Kostūme wunderbar, ganz besonders gefallen haben mir die Giraffen. Bei den Schauspielern sind mir besonders die Schamanin und Simba in Erinnerung geblieben. Alles in Allem ein gelungener Abend.

Directed by Julie Taymor, the first woman to win a Tony for the musical's direction, the show earned Olivier Awards for choreography and costume design.

Over 232 puppets, spectacular staging, and Elton John's and Tim Rice's score with songs like "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" make this a roaring classic.

Nearly 9,000 UK performances and counting, critics hails it as a "kaleidoscopic visual brilliance" (The Guardian). Book your tickets to The Lion King in London now!

The story

Set in the African Pride Lands, The Lion King in London follows young Simba as he flees after the tragic fall of his father, King Mufasa. Guided by new friends Timon and Pumbaa and haunted by Scar’s shadow, Simba must decide whether to face his destiny and reclaim Pride Rock. Will he rise as king, or let fear rule forever?
