The Lion King show was by far the best show I've ever been to!! It's a must watch and do not miss it if you're ever in London. My family and I are obsessed!

The most artistic thing I've ever seen! I attended twice and I teared up both times. A must do if you're in London.

Incredible. Rafiki (brown lindiwe mkhize) really made the show with her incredible powerful voice and stellar comic acting. Scar, nala singing shadowlands, zazu and timon and pumba were all great too.

Get the Champagne Experience Package with Ambassador Lounge entry .. Totally worth it !! Free beverage, snacks and most importantly “THE ICE CREAM” !! The center of the stalls has the best view ..

King Lion is amazing! Highly recommended for everyone. Cons:. It was very hot on the grand circle seats by the end of performance, so do not wear too many clothes, ventilation is not good.

Very recommended Lion King Show! Traditional Theatre. Very classical seating set ups. Feeling like Medieval Era! Creative Show & delicious popcorn here. Enjoy the show.

We came here to see the Lion King as my late birthday present. It didn't disappoint. We loved it - was worth wanting to see it since I was 4/5. Can't wait to go again. Thank you for the amazing show!!

Indescribably!!! Best show I've ever seen! The music, choreographies, and the acting itself were all outstandingly amazing. If you're ever in London, you must see this show.

The Lion King in one word: AMAZING!! The props and costumes are very big, hence it was not a big problem seating at the highest level. However, I feel that binoculars are needed during some parts.

One of the best shows I have ever seen. If you're studying abroad here, this show is a must. You can take a double decker bus there, or the tube. Made some great friends along the way. Unbelievable.

Had a nice relaxing meal afterwards at Sophie's Steakhouse, just down the block. The food there is delicious, and the service is attentive but not fussy.

I saw the show in New York broadway theater and I love it . This time I wanted my 3 years old son to see it here in London and the kid was amazed and happy and I can't ask for more 😍👍🏻

There is a steep rake in the Grand Circle area, so be careful while moving towards your seat 👆 Won't recommend this sitting area for people scared of heights 🙈

Saw lion king at the theater. Show was amazing the atmosphere was really good. Only issue was it was hot in there and the seats are not that comfy.
tOctober 5, 2013
Stalls have a great view, some of the show reaches out to the aisles. Try and get a central seat.
Saeed KMay 30, 2015
Plan you visit in advance to get good seat and Enjoy a new experience with all your senses.

The Lion King Show was better than I ever could have imagine! Very Nostalgic. Nice costumes, phenomenal music. Great experience.
Faraz AhmedJuly 21, 2014
Their current musical The Lion King is breath-taking. The props, costumes, songs, acting and the stage - everything is just closer to perfection!

Excellent. You leave with a smile in your face and happier than when you entered. Don't miss it.

Bob Marley's international breakthrough was fashioned at this one-time music venue, when over two nights in 1975 he played in front of a packed crowd - the concerts having sold out in just two hours.

The Lion King show is an absolute delight! The costumes and stage decor are incredible! We had such an amazing time! 😊
SevdaJuly 5, 2013

The show(lion King) was perfect 👌 I went there with my family and they said it was amazing too 👏👍👌

Loved the lion king, but the other kids watching can be very annoying. Parents don’t know how to look after their own kids!
Manal SaadSeptember 17, 2016
Loved the place so much and the play is a piece of art , it was my 2bd time and it still amazed me❤❤❤
Fabian RaresFebruary 12, 2015
A must see for all visitors, advance booking required..

Literally amazing! Even though it's expensive, it's well worth the money. I've been twice, and would definitely go again!

Lion King at this theatre just makes you realise that you'll always stay a kid at heart... It was one of the most wonderful experiences...
Christopher ChanJuly 8, 2017
Good layout inside the theatre and the venue is fairly large. No skimping on space

Lovely theatre the lion king was adorable
Stefanie (Trimble) FluinSeptember 26, 2016
Theatre was a bit dirty and smelly. Seats are relatively comfortable and production quality of Lion King was great. Bathroom lines are long, toiles don't flush well & dryers broken. Not impressed.

Based on the 1994 Disney Film, The Lion King has been a West End success for both critics and audiences and is currently in its 12th year at the Lyceum. Features music from Elton John and Tim Rice. Read more

best value is back of the stalls as you are up close for the animal parade

lion king is fabulous

The lion king musical play is a mush watch👍🏻👍🏻

Great experience for families, though price is extortionate.

If with kids, get there early and ask for a cushion (one pound each). They run out pretty fast.
