At its heart is the powerful and moving story of Simba – The Lion King tells the epic adventure of his journey from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands – experience for yourself this ‘astonishing triumph of theatrical imagination’ Evening Standard
Simba, Prince of Lions, enjoys his life as the heir apparent of the pridelands.
When his evil uncle Scar kills his father and takes the queen as his wife things change. Scar tries to encourage Simba to his death, by making a pact with some hyenas. But the young lion manages to escape and is rescued by Timon and Pumbaa, a meercat and warthog who teach Simba their No Worries philosophy.
When he is fully grown he returns to fight Scar for his kingdom.
The Lion King is a perfect highlight for a theatre break. Whether it is a romantic break for two or a half-term break for the family.

FAB!
Took the kids [to The Lion King] when they were younger. The stage is very busy, lots going on for kids to be looking at. Handy hint, get aisle seats. We were recommended to and glad we did as all the animals run down the aisles.
KING OF ALL LIONS
Did you know that they've released a 3D version of this film in selected cinemas and it's beating Brad Pit's new film at US box offices? Just goes to show the endurance of such a great show and the production value it gives the public 17 years on.
Whether you see this show live or on the silver screen you cannot help but be swept away by both the chest swelling and heart wrenching score. The colour and spectacle you see on stage is second to none.
Children sit there agog at what they are witnessing!
Five stars plus!
LION KING REIGNS ON
My daughter and I both thought it was brilliant. It still has its charm… We sat in the stalls under the dress circle….I would recommend people that have children if they can sit by the aisle/stalls/near to the front to enjoy the characters that come into the crowd etc
