The Lion King tickets – Enjoy the tale of the century at London's Lyceum theatre!
Enter the lion. Like all Disney tales this is a lovely story, appealing to children and adults alike. It's set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains, with a score that reflects the evocative rhythms of deepest, darkest Africa. This is a multi award winning show so expect superb choreography and faultless acting.
The Lion King delivers a fantastic dose of musical theatre excellence, supported buy some of the most imaginative and exciting costumes you'll see on the West End stage. Or indeed any stage. And the sets are breathtaking. Looking at the faces of younger audience members as they leave the theatre, you can tell it's a very special experience indeed. They glow with it!
A real feast for the senses, The Lion King adapts Disney's much-loved film, taking audiences to a dazzling, exotic world of colours, amazing effects and wonderful music. There's puppetry so real you'll be completely convinced, lost in the powerful, moving story of Simba, which unfolds to reveal an epic adventure - his journey from innocent lion cub to King of the Pride.
If your younger family members rate their Lion King CD or DVD among their favourite possessions, it'll make a fantastic treat. So book now to join Simba and his friends for a journey that'll have you hanging on the edge of your seat, laughing, crying and begging for more!
