In the jungle the mighty lion may sleep tonight, but at the Lyceum Theatre in London’s West End, the whole Serengeti is buzzing and raring to go and it has been since the Lion King first opened there in 1999!
What is The Lion King about? Adapted from the 1994 Disney movie, the musical is all about Simba the lion as he grows up and eventually becomes King. Along the way he is taught a few lessons by Zazu, a red billed hornbill, plays with young lioness Nala and meets everyone’s favourites characters, Timon and Pumba, the meercat and warthog. A perfect first theatre experience for kids!
Is it suitable for kids? Recommended for ages 6+. Younger children may find some scenes intense.

10/10.
I want to go again and again and again.
The Lion King is still one of the best shows for the whole family and it’s great to be back in the theatre. The Lyceum is a fab venue – tickets can be expensive but take a chance on the cheaper seats because the views are still great.
Fabulous set, great dancing and music and songs to sing along to… caaaaan you feel the luuurve tonight? It’s the Ciiiiiiircle of life ❤️❤️!!
