Everything about our evening was wonderful! Costumes, music, acting, setting. We had seats in the Stalls 3rd Row but any of the first 20 rows are super. The iconic theatre with Corinthian (or something like that!) columns is a joy. We got great advice on seats, restaurant and pubs from Viago
Fantastic! Very much enjoyed this beautiful show!
It is a wonderful family experience. The play is very interactive and the production is very detailed, along with beautiful singing from the actors and actresses in the play. It’s a 2.5 hours experience worth doing in London. My only objection is the seat, it becomes uncomfortable after a short time.
An unforgettable experience! The Lion King musical was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The performances, costumes, music, and stage production were incredible and the atmosphere was magical. I’d highly recommend it to anyone, definitely worth seeing!
It was very good. My children loved it.
It was a wonderful show, and we enjoyed it very much! It was entertaining, funny, and the performers played their roles amazingly well. I would highly recommend this amazing musical to anyone looking for a fantastic night out.
Very easy to use and we loved our experience. Seats were great and everyone was very friendly. I’d definitely recommend.
The show was phenomenal and pricing was good. However, there was no view of seating beforehand. We had to go to the office there to get seating assignments and ended up sitting on one of the side wings where you had to stretch to see the stage. Even then we couldn’t see the right side of the stage which detracted from the performance. Doing cheaper is not necessarily better. This is a show you don’t want to go see without getting the full experience of seeing the complete stage settings, costume designs and lighting effects! Having said that, was happy that I could experience this with my daughter who loved it!
One of the highlights of our family London trip! The production was mesmerizing, and made me emotional at different points of the musical. Worth every pound spent- such art should be celebrated. The Lyceum Theatre is a gorgeous place as well.
Sensational. The most amazing production i have seen. I was tearing up almost the whole time, the songs are so powerful. The set design was simple yet impactful and the costumes amazing! Definitely recomended booking in the stalls as the characters come out into the audience. Lots of kids school trips but they behaved better than the adults in the audience! Only niggle - stop selling popcorn!!! The constant rustle and crunch! Drives me potty. 100% will be back to see it again!
