The Lion King

(The Lyceum Theatre-Covent Garden)

If you have never been to a west end music/play then Lion King should be your first experience of it! It is awesome...from beginning to end it is simply fantastic. If you have seen the film and think an on-stage rehash of it would be boring then you are wrong-the play whilst being true to the film has an identity of its own. The stage version has a great soundtrack just like the film but has a much more african feel to it.

The costume and stage design are fantastic. The opening scene is AMAZING it is like seeing real animals on stage-it wil blow you away. If there is only one thing you get to see on stage this year then this should be it...it is truly an experience you will never forget.

Tickets start from £12.50 and have been assured that even at that price you get a great view. If you go for a higher priced ticket then it is best to the avoid the grand circle and these seats are extremely high up. The Royal Circle gives you a good clear view.
