Disney’s The Lion King

About Disney’s The Lion King

Disney’s The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre, London, is Disney’s internationally celebrated musical, reimagined for the stage by director Julie Taymor. The production adapts the beloved film into a stage show built around Simba’s journey from cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.

The show combines colour, effects and music in a theatrical staging that brings the story to the stage in a new form. It remains one of Disney’s best-known titles, with the familiar characters and narrative presented as a full musical production.

For audiences looking for a large-scale family theatre experience in central London, The Lion King offers a well-known story, recognisable music and a staged version of the film’s journey through the Pridelands.

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