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.

The show was very good but at the end one of the performers used the platform to talk about his own agenda or propaganda (LGBT THING) which is not acceptable since we didn’t pay for this
The Lion King was an absolute delight! From the opening moments we were captivated by the sounds, costumes, sets and choreography. The show is joyful, moving and just a fantastic time overall.
We totally enjoyed the experience. Beautiful building and the party was exceptionally well done. We would definitely come back if we returned to the UK. THANK YOU.
It was absolutely amazing
An amazing production !! Totally worth it
Son’s first theater show and he loved it.
Fantastic
This show is something you could never forget! Me and my daughter love the disney original cartoon, so, even tho she doesn’t speak english, she understood EVERY SINGOL line and song. Great actors/actresses, unbelievable costumes and scenographies, unique emotions. Would absolutely recommend it!
Above and beyond expectations.
Excellent show ??
Stunning show. The visuals are breathtaking. The performances are terrific - both actors and dancers. Would come back surely.
My second time coming, that should explain my satisfaction! ??
