About Disney’s The Lion King

Disney’s The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre, London is Disney’s internationally celebrated musical. Reimagined by acclaimed director Julie Taymor, it adapts Disney’s film for the stage and follows Simba’s journey from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands, with music, colour and effects at the centre of the production.

The show combines a familiar story with a large-scale theatrical presentation, making it a strong option for theatre-goers looking for a well-known musical with a clear family appeal. It is recommended for ages 6+.

Running time: 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one interval. Performance times: Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm, with matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2.30pm.
