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. The production takes the story of Simba, from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands, and brings it to the stage as a musical adaptation of the film.

The show combines glorious colours, striking effects and enchanting music, with the familiar story placed at the centre of the production. It is a long-running theatre title built around a well-known story and a large-scale stage presentation.

For audiences looking for a West End musical with a clear family appeal, The Lion King offers a recognised story, a defined running time and set performance times across the week.

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