Watch Disney’s 1994 hit movie The Lion King come to life on stage as a family fun musical at THE LYCEUM THEATRE. The hit musical has been wowing audiences in the West End for over 23 years.
Set in the majestic Serengeti Plains we follow the loveable lion cub Simba, who is next in line to be King, and his evil Uncle Scar in this heart-warming tale. When Simba is forced into exile from his kingdom by his envious uncle, he meets the hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warm-hearted warthog pal, Pumba. Soon after, Simba adopts his carefree lifestyle of "Hakuna Matata," until he realizes his true identity and returns to claim his throne from his evil uncle.
The Lion King first premiered on Broadway in 1997 and then opened its doors in London in 1999 and has been playing to sold out audiences ever since.
With music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, a musical score created by Hans Zimmer and choral arrangements by Lebo M, The Lion King includes all of the iconic music from the original film. Songs like "Circle of Life", "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", "Be Prepared", "Hakuna Matata", and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight”.
The Lion King is hands down the most sought-after show in London, selling out night after night. With stunning special effects, enchanting music and vibrant colours, you don’t want to miss your chance to see this incredible spectacle. This acclaimed reimagining of Disney’s beloved film comes from visionary director Julie Taymor and will redefine your expectation of theatre.
