We finally saw The Lion King and it completely blew us away. The costumes and puppetry are genius—so creative and unlike anything else I’ve seen on stage. The music is just as powerful live, and the cast put so much heart into their performances. Rafiki especially stood out—funny, soulful, and totally captivating. Even though I knew the story, it felt fresh and deeper somehow. It’s one of those shows that makes you feel like a kid again, while still hitting some emotional notes as an adult.

Uncomplicated booking at short notice I couldn't show the tickets on my cell phone because I didn't have internet - very friendly and helpful staff explained what we could do and the tickets were printed out 😀 The performance was the best I've seen of musicals recently: very good artists, very good voices, dancers and the stage just great - thanks for an unforgettable afternoon!

The costumes were fantastic, as were the stage effects. Please ask the theatre to have quiet wrappers, or just don't sell crisps/loud snacks. People should be able to manage an hour without a snack. It's no fun to have the group behind us CRINKLING AND CRINKLING, especially during the quiet songs. The show could have been a little louder. We were in the Royal Circle. Sometimes it was a bit hard to hear, especially the lyrics.
  • Croon to Elton John and Tim Rice's tracks from the original film, including Circle of Life, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, and Hakuna Matata with a cast of over 50 characters, live on stage. Directed by Julie Taymor, the first woman to win a Tony Award for Best Director of a Musical, the show is renowned for its groundbreaking visual design and unique theatrical language. Featuring 232 puppets, ranging from delicate bird kites to the massive elephant that lumbers down the theater aisle, the widely popular production transports audiences to the African Savannah. A testament to the legacy of the iconic film, this legendary musical pulsates with diversity. Feel the quietest whisper to the most thunderous choral number in your bones as you relive the spellbinding power of The Lion King in London.

    The story

    Against the rhythms of Africa, a tale of love, loss, and redemption unfolds with the journey of a precious cub, Simba. As his idyllic childhood is forced to a stop with his father and revered king Mufasa’s untimely death, the young prince is thrust into a life of internal turmoil. While his treacherous uncle Scar gets his way, Simba abandons his identity for a new future, supported by his cheerful friends. But destiny speaks through the wisdom of Rafiki and his beloved Nala, calling him home to reclaim his father's legacy. Will the licit heir rise to his rightful throne?

    Thank you, Headout, for being supportive during the purchase. It's very easy and fast to get tickets and once in the venue all works perfectly well too. The Lion King has been incredibly amazing... all the visuals, the live music, some funny adaptations from the original... I give my 10/10!!!

    Everything. This is my 3rd time watching the show and the first time for my LO. I thought with so many kids it will be noisy but it wasn't. Enjoyed it yet again.
