The Lyceum Theatre itself could do with a bit of a makeover, however the lion king performance was absolutely fantastic. What an eye popping sight to see how the animals were played by there human counterparts. Very well done.

Easily the best show in town. I was blown away by the whole production and they really did it justice. I would even go again and that is saying something.

Obviously this is a great first choice for those who haven't seen a theater show before since the story is familiar along with the songs. Also obviously, a lot of money has been put into this because of its popularity so you can expect a lot in terms of the quality. The main characters sang beautifully. The costumes were one-of-a-kind,... More

Booked this for the kids but i wanted to see it just as much, thought it was very expensive sitting at home but on the day in the theatre i found it to be outstanding and worth ever penny. Had a great evening and the show was totally WOW. would recommend it to anyone, young or old.

Perhaps we were expecting too much from this production. The costumes and the puppets were amazing but there was a strong pantomime vibe to it and at times the orchestra drowned the voices. However, I can understand the appeal.

I was apprehensive about seeing this as after everyone had told me how good it was and I was thinking it might not meet my expectations. But it succeeded them by miles! The way they used the masks for the lion was such a fresh way of thinking, which continued the whole way through the performance. I was captivated from... More
