“The West End production of the Lion King turns 20 in 2019. There are very few shows that have been running that long which still feel fresh & relevant, but the Lion King is one of them. It’s visually spectacular and Elton John’s music is timeless.”

Brilliantly reimagined by acclaimed director Julie Taymor, Disney's beloved film has been transformed into a spectacular theatrical experience that explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music.
