Its The Circle of Life! A dramatic opening sees the stage jam packed with magnificent costumes, fantastic singers and a marvelous orchestra! The show is a must see and is sinful if you don't! The story centers around Simba a young lion beginning to find his feet in the world. The young cub has to deal with treachery ...  Read the complete review

I was given tickets to this show for my birthday, and it was the best present I could have been given. The show is on at the Lyceum Theatre, in London, which is about a five minute walk from Covent Garden tube station. My tickets were £47.50 each to sit in the middle of the stalls. I do believe you can get cut price ...  Read the complete review

Went to see the lion king on Sunday, tickets were a gift from my boyfriends parents...if I hadn't got the tickets as a gift I would not have gone - for 50 squids a head! The music was amazing and the kids playing the young simba & nala were so good, my favorite was definately the baboon - her voice was mind ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I saw The Lion King last week. It was OK but I wasn't blown away with it. What I will say though is that the costumes were stunning. The sets were also really good. I felt that the presentation and the singing were very average and, as I love the music from the film , I was slightly ...  Read the complete review

I have always loved watching The Lion King film, but it wasn?t until the end of February/the beginning of March that I really became a massive fan, and I mean, massive. I had read reviews about the show on Dooyoo, and ever since I realised how much people like it, I had constantly been nagging my parents if I could go and see it. ...  Read the complete review

I have just turned 32 years of age. Now instead of going out getting drunk and then facing the mirror the next day thinking that I had aged 10 years overnight- I decided to book well ahead to see The Lion King on stage. I wanted to be child for the day! Teaching doesn';t give you much chance to dumb down and I really wanted to watch ...  Read the complete review

If you get the chance to go and see The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre in London, you MUST go. The Lyceum itself is in the heart of London’s theatre land, best reached from Charing Cross, Leicester Square or Embankment tube stations. It is situated in Wellington Street, which is a couple of minute’s walk from any of ...  Read the complete review

I managed to get one of these rather rare tickets and headed off not quite knowing what to expect having seen the video. The opening scene is unbelievable, I mean why just use the stage when there is an aisle, doors at the back, balconies as well. The show starts as it means to go on hitting you from all directions. As your eyes flit ...  Read the complete review

How many theatregoers must have been put off going to see Lion King because it's a theatre production of a Disney cartoon and it's for children? What a fantastic treat they're missing. The task of adapting a cartoon which feaures no people, only amimals, is no mean feat. It would be easy to go down the route of ...  Read the complete review

I wrote this review on the very same day I saw it at the Lyceum. I was lucky in the respect that I was in the second row from the front, so maybe I had the upper hand, but from where I was sitting, the production was breathtaking. You've seen the video so you know what to expect, and yes the play is very similar to the film, but more ...  Read the complete review

I'll start by saying that i had a ticket to see this at the end of January but i simply could not wait that long to see it - while down in London i tried to get a £10 ticket for Rent (no luck) and also a ticket to see Miss Saigon before it closed down at the end of the October (no luck) so third time lucky i decided to try and ...  Read the complete review

go and see this! I took my little sister (aged 11) and she loved it, as did my parents. It's as emotional as the film, but the staging is so ingenious it is even more impressive. THe puppets are brilliant, the sets are brilliant, the actors are brilliant. What more need I say? The theatre is near Covent Garden, so any 16/17 year old ...  Read the complete review

I booked tickets for the Disney stage production of The Lion King in November, after reading all the rave reviews. I wanted good seats as my children are small and had to wait until May to get them! Despite the long wait, and the thirty five pounds per ticket outlay, this was a show and a half. The opening scene took my breath ...  Read the complete review
