During our visit to UK, was keen to visit the show as had a lot about the same. Was a little expensive but it was value for money as it was a wonderful experience. The artists, the music, the stage, the dance, etc. was exceptionally good, we were completely engrossed in the show. Any inclined on musicals and visiting London, must visit show.

The Lion King was a fantastic show for children and adults alike. The whole production was impressive! It was very entertaining and a must see if you are a Disney fan! We reserved a space in the Ambassador Lounge to make our visit more special and seamless. That helped us avoid the crowd as we were ushered into the lounge through a separate entrance. We were served drinks, some snacks and even ice-cream while waiting for the show to start. A staff member led us to our seats nearer to start time. If I can remember correctly, we even had separate toilets. After the show, we were taken back to the lounge and offered another round of drinks before leaving. Overall, it was a terrific experience!

This was the first show I have taken my grandson to. He is 10. Overall the show was a good one. The merchandise was expensive which I expected. I did not expect to pay for a child booster seat. I find it exploitative for a venue to be presenting a show children will come to and to charge for booster seats. Not impressed.

We sat in the royal circle and our view was obstructed which wasn’t mentioned … if you do sit there make sure it’s in the front/ middle area of the royal circle. My husband didn’t enjoy it he thought it was more of a kids production and show. I didn’t mind it. Lyceum theatre is spectacular. People were talking all thru the production.

Not my cup of tea was boring in parts. Actors were good Staff were nice Good location Theatre is full of history and is amazing to look at but the production just wasnt for me. Some of the time I couldn’t follow the storey. There were parts that were good and some that were boring and flat. Comfy seats and plenty of room to move about in the stall area. Getting out was quick. Prices for food/drink is average.

Fantastic - costumes, songs, actors, scenery, everything. Not cheap, about £250 each, but well worth the price. Young kids should try to go to the matinees, many were falling asleep before half-time on the evening. This is the 3rd time I've seen the theatre show and it never disappoints

A must see show in London for all ages, very good performance, and you feel like a child again. Only remark is that they allowed people to arrive after the show starts and we all needed to stand to let people to get to their seats.
