Disney's The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre, London is Disney's internationally celebrated musical. Reimagined by acclaimed director Julie Taymor, the film has been transformed into a stage production with colours, effects and music, following Simba's journey from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.

The show presents the story as a theatrical event built around the familiar Disney title, with the narrative at its centre. It is a London production with a strong focus on the visual staging and the music that support Simba's epic adventure.
