The Lion King in London
Disney's The Lion King is an unparalleled West End theatrical experience, bringing the enchanting world of the African savannah to the stage in a mesmerising spectacle for all ages. Adapted from the 1994 animation film, The Lion King is one of the most successful stage musicals of all time with performances at the Lyceum Theatre selling out to audiences for over two decades.
Why You Should See Disney's The Lion King
- Over 200 puppets are used in the production to bring the African savannah to life, including 39 hyenas, 22 wildebeests and 14 lionesses. 50 performers and puppeteers are needed to make this happen!
- The musical is set to a timeless score by Elton John and Tim Rice, The Lion King contains beloved songs like "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", "The Circle of Life" and "I Just Can't Wait To Be King."
- The production has earned more than 70 major arts awards during its time, including the 1999 Olivier Award for Best Costume Design.
What is The Lion King about?
The Lion King is a global sensation that was adapted from the Disney film. The film alone is the highest-grossing hand-drawn animated feature of all time, it has transferred to the stage seamlessly.
The musical tells the tale of Simba, a young lion prince who embarks on an epic journey of self-discovery and redemption. After the tragic death of his father, Mufasa, Simba flees his kingdom, feeling responsible for his father's demise. Along the way, he encounters many vibrant characters including the wise mandrill Rafiki, the comedic meerkat Timon, and the loyal warthog Pumbaa. Together they help Simba find his inner courage and embrace his destiny as the rightful king of the Pride Lands.
Directed and designed by Julie Taymor, The Lion King is a tour de force in professional puppetry, delivering a genuine spectacle that’s very hard to forget. Eighteen foot high giraffes canter along the aisles, amazingly real-looking gazelles trot by, and a herd of wildebeest stampede just a few feet away.
The Lion King continues to inspire audiences with its timeless story of hope, resilience, and the enduring power of family. Enjoy a slice of West End history with a trip to the Lyceum Theatre for this family musical.

Good show but should advertise that the music or the dialogue is not live.It’s misleading when we book a theatre show as big as this one and receive pre recorded soundtracks, a fake conductor and pre recorded voice overs. If we had known, I would have booked another actual live show. All else was ok. Also no air condition in the theatre whilst the show was on so it was very very hot, made watching the show unpleasent.

Absolutely fantastic performance. Lighting, staging, costuming, music, and acting were impeccable. The only things I could possibly seek to improve were as follows: 1. Some musical numbers from the original movie were cut short. Please let these live their full life for the OG’s. 2. Some of the key musical numbers needed particular accentuation of key words/phrases to drive the adrenaline and emotion home (this was few and far between, but something to note). Overall, it was a phenomenal performance of a musical that represents my childhood. The opening number was particularly spectacular. Timon and Pumbaa’s vocal performances in their recreation of the original movie ‘accents’ was spot on. Love love love!!!
