Disney’s award-winning musical has been stunning West End audiences for 25 years.
Set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains and to the evocative rhythms of Africa, Disney's multi award-winning musical The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre will redefine your expectations of theatre.
Based on the Disney animated film, The Lion King premiered on Broadway in 1997 and The Lion King London opened in October 1999, playing to packed houses ever since!
The Lion King Musical transports audiences to a dazzling world that explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music. At its heart is the powerful and moving story of Simba - the epic adventure of his journey from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.
Brilliantly reimagined by acclaimed director Julie Taymor, Disney’s beloved film has been transformed into a spectacular theatrical experience that explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music.
With music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice, a musical score created by Hans Zimmer and choral arrangements by Lebo M, Disney's The Lion King London songs include I Just Can't Wait to Be King, The Circle of Life, Endless Night and Shadow Land.
Disney's The Lion King is our best-selling show and has delighted audiences of all ages for 25 years at London's Lyceum Theatre.

In my opinion some of the characters seemed a little lost in the space of the stage. Costumes brilliant but scenery a little bland at times. The African music and song harmony was excellent. Followed the film very well.
Dreams come true. Everything perfect in every detail!
Must see musical! I would go watch it again.
This was a great show with incredible performances but unfortunately ruined by an audience who felt it was ok to talk all the way through.
Excellent musical

This waa such an amazind show, the performance from all the character's was amazing. the singing was something else. we will defintley be back xxx
Beautiful musical, the set, lights, music and costumes are incredible!
The show, actors, and stage were absolutely amazing! However, the guest chairs were a nightmare to sit on for a couple of hours — even with a kid’s cushion, they were still hard and uncomfortable. There’s also not enough legroom, which made it difficult to enjoy such a great performance fully.
