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!
- 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'.
- Whether you grew up with the film or are discovering it for the first time, following Simba's journey in this musical is one filled with adventure, humour and a heartwarming story.
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.

Over 20 years may have elapsed since that night, but watching it again last evening, I’m happy to report that the moment remains as vibrant and intensely thrilling as I remember from all those years ago.
This show has been delighting audiences all over the world for years and will most likely continue to do so for many more to come. It's an absolute "must see".

Still a great show, but not superlative any moreSaw the matinee on a Wednesday. The kids were completely flat, painful to listen to. Timon wasn’t much better, and some of the lines in the skits between Timon and pumba were so mumbled or ill timed that they were incomprehensible, so the jokes didn’t land. are nThe rest was still as good as I’d remembered. Clearly not the “A” cast. Or if it is, the whole production has gone way downhill. Costumes and staging still as incredible as ever.

A faithful rehash of the Disney filmNot really my sort of thing normally, but accompanied someone who wanted to see it. Costumes, acting, singing and staging were all brilliant. Unfortunately the audience were not very attentive. I have no problem at all with children talking or asking questions, but when grown adults are constantly talking, taking pictures *during* the show despite being warned prior to the show, and with no intervention by theatre staff, then it's a problem. Spoilt quite a lot of the experince. The rake of seats means also that a lot of the show is obscured by the people in front. I got the impression that it was "you want to see this, you've paid, now you just put up with it".

The real danger with long running West End shows is that they’ll get tired as the cast grow bored of performing it month after month. The Disney organisation is very good at ensuring things stay fresh by regularly adding new performers to the London production from around the world.
This month it has been announced that New Zealander Nicholas Afoa is to take over the role of Simba in THE LION KING at the Lyceum Theatre.

Julie Taymor’s musical staging of the classic Disney cartoon, now in its 16th year in the West End, gives audiences from all over the world the chance to reconnect with their inner child and to enjoy a truly magnificent and creative spectacle. The story, about a lion cub who must win back the trust of his tribe after being unjustly exiled, still inspires and resonates with audiences of all ages.
