First time seeing this show in theatre and what an amazing show it is. Absolutely wonderful to watch and will be recommending anybody who loves lion king to hopefully book tickets to see the show. Thank you for a brilliant and joyful evening!
The Best, I can't stop wanting to come back and watch it over and over again.
As a regular theatre goer I had expected the Lion King to be good. It wasn’t, it was brilliant. The opening number had me in tears. the chorus and musicians, the costumes, staging, everything was magical. Tears flowed from my eyes from the sheer beauty of the the whole spectacle. My friend and I loved the whole show. My only regret is that I can not afford to bring my six grandchildren to London to see it. I had hoped for a premium bond win - so far no luck!, Tehe. Any child watching the show will be inspired by the whole event, to do better in the performing arts especially. Brilliant.
