This was our third time seeing The Lion King, and somehow it felt every bit as magical as the first. We flew from Kuwait especially to experience the show again on 4 September 2026, and it was absolutely worth the journey. The breathtaking performances, extraordinary costumes, music, energy and sheer artistry made the evening truly unforgettable. Sharing this spectacular experience with my family once again made it even more special. Simply phenomenal from beginning to end.

Credo di non aver mai assistito ad uno spettacolo così emozionante... le scenografie erano fantastiche, gli attori hanno saputo far immedesimare il pubblico fin dalla prima scena.. per chi come me è cresciuta guardando il Re Leone, è stato un tuffo nel passato, un ritorno all'infanzia, fatto di emozione pura... attori bravissimi, Rafiki con una voce che faceva tremare il teatro, lo riguarderei altre 1000 volte. Consigliato 100%

Eine tolle actionreiche Aufführung mit wunderschönen Kostümen und schöner Kulisse. Das Musical verbindet schwungvolle Musik mit gefühlvollen Szenen und viel Bewegung auf der Bühne. Das Theater selbst ist eine stilvolle Kulisse mit guter Sicht auch von den oberen Rängen. Das Theater ist steil angelegt, die Bequemlichkeit gut für mittelgroße Personen ohne Höhenangst.

Excellent performance and overall amazing experience. Booked Grand Circle tickets. Great overall view but lots of steps. There is a lift if you have physical needs for its use, just ask. Ate across the street at Indigo restaurant for a pre-theater treat. Visual effects of the performance are outstanding. Wonderful music, dancers - a real London treat.

Spectacle magnifique. Acteurs chanteurs danseurs super pros. Décors magnifiques. Facile de comprendre si on connaît l'histoire et qu'on n'est pas bilingue. On voit très bien elle en haut. Par contre il y fait très froid, même en gilet. La Clim nous soufflait dans le cou.

From Disney's Oscar-winning film to one of London's longest-running musicals, Disney's The Lion King has been delighting audiences for 27+ years.

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

Hand-crafted puppets and masks, striking staging, and Elton John's and Tim Rice's score, with songs like "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," bring the Pride Lands to life.

Now in its 27th year, critics call it "simply nothing else like it" (The New York Times). Book your tickets to Disney’s The Lion King in London today!

The story

Set in the African Pride Lands, Disney’s 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?

A wonderful experience from beginning to end. The Lion King was absolutely amazing: the costumes, the colours, the staging, the music and the energy of the whole cast made it a truly spectacular show. The child actors were fantastic, and the adult cast were outstanding as well. Adult Nala was especially impressive — her voice was beautiful and her performance was truly moving. It is definitely a musical worth seeing in London. We absolutely loved it.

Tolles Musical mit klasse Schauspielern. Wir waren zuerst etwas skeptisch ob man von der letzten Reihe auch eine gute Sicht hat, weil es uns doch etwas weit weg vorkam, wurden jedoch keinesfalls enttäuscht. Wir hatten eine tolle Sicht und auch der Ton kam bestens an. Insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis :)
