The Lion King has been among the very top West End box office attractions since it opened in 1999.  We think that you will enjoy it every bit as much as the thousands of others who have taken their seats at the Lyceum Theatre.  This is a coming-of-age tale which follows Simba from carefree cubhood, through troubled adolescence and into a young adulthood when he avenges his father’s murder and assumes the role of pride leader.  Disney’s great genius is their ability to imbue animal characters with humanity.  Live theatrical performance inspires empathy like no other artistic medium.  These elements combined with award-winning costumes and musical score make The Lion King a treat which every member of the family will want to sample again and again.

Feel the Love at the Lyceum The Lion King tells the story of a young lion cub named Simba who is exiled into the wilderness after his father, Mufasa, is killed by the treachery of his wicked brother, Scar.
