The Lion King Theatre breaks

The majestic stage adaptation of Disney’s much loved animated movie, The Lion King will take you on an epic adventure to the Pride Lands of Africa. Here, you will follow the birth of King Mufasa’s son, Simba, and his gripping journey to be the King of all lions.

When Simba is born, the kingdom rejoices with the exception of Scar, Simba’s evil Uncle who is fuelled by his desire to be master of the throne. During a stampede of wildebeests, Scar takes over the kingdom by tricking young Simba into exile.

While living as an outcast in the jungle, Simba befriends comical duo Timon and Pumbaa who teach him about "Hakuna Matata" and help him forget his past. When Simba's childhood sweetheart later arrives with news of their homeland suffering, he must decide whether or not he can go back and confront the past he wished to forget.

The Lion King is a truly mesmerising show and has been running at the Lyceum Theatre for over 15 years. Book your Lion King tickets now and experience a breathtaking theatre break.

Due to its phenomenal success it is very rare for The Lion King to discount its tickets. However, if a show hasn’t sold out some third-party agents we work with will waive our booking fees with them a day or so before the performance, though this is rare. Booking ahead of time can also help, with clear view seats in the rear Grand Circle providing a surprisingly good view, especially when central, and can definitely help secure cheap The Lion King theatre breaks.
