The Lion King Tickets

To (mis)quote Grease, ‘stage and screen go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong, remembered forever as shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom’. Whether it’s a stage to screen adaptation (Guys and Dolls), a screen to stage adaptation (Aladian), a stage on screen production (A Little Life) or a book to film to stage to musical film juggernaut (Matilda) the cinema will always have a place in our hearts (as do the buckets of popcorn, sweets and nachos that will inevitably clog it)

Screen to stage adaptations are almost as iconic as the Hollywood sign itself. Billy Elliot, Hairspray, and An American in Paris are just some of the West End classics that started their lives outside of theatreland and in the multiplex. The two mediums complement each other immensely (Why do you think cinemas are called movie theatres in America?) So, with that in mind we’ve decided to celebrate #NationalCinemaDay with a list of theatre's biggest blockbusters, and cinematic shows we’d love to see.

Disney’s The Lion King is one of the most internationally beloved musicals and is a celebrated West End staple. The musical has been wowing audiences at London’s Lyceum Theatre for 22 years and boasts a widely known soundtrack. The Lion King has music by Sir Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice. There are 20 songs in the stage musical and we’ve narrowed down our top five for our #StageySoundtrackSunday

It’s the month of love and Valentine’s Day is upon us! So, we’re listening to all our favourite musical theatre love songs, many of which you can hear live across the West End. Or you can listen to our Stagey Valentine’s Day playlist here. Check out below what are our top 5 stagey love songs and let us know on our social media channels what yours are.

A new king of the pride lands has been announced! Kayi Ushe will take on the lead role of Simba in the Disney’s The Lion King at the West End’s Lyceum Theatre. Ushe will be joined by new and returning cast members when the show returns at long last. London The Lion King tickets are now booking for the record-breaking musicals reopening! If you just can’t wait to see Kayi Ushe as Simba and the wonders of this iconic show, then book your theatre tickets now and secure your seats to a show you’ll never forget.

It was recently announced by Disney that The Lion King would be reopening at the West End’s Lyceum Theatre with performances beginning 29 July 2021. The musical is a London landmark and has called the Lyceum home for over 20 years, having been seen by over 16 million people. The best-selling musical closed mid-March 2020 along with the rest of the West End and is set to resume this summer. Tickets for Disney’s The Lion King are now booking for its reopening.

The day has finally come for both The Lion King fans and Beyoncé fans alike. Queen Bee's highly anticipated concept album slash musical film, Black is King, has now been released on Disney Plus! Subscribers to the streaming service can now gain unlimited access to this tie-in album, which serves as a visual companion to the 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift and The Lion King 2019 live-action remake.

"This is the morning report." Last night (11 May 2020), the orchestra pit located in the basement of the Lyceum Theatre was flooded by about 12 feet (4 metres) in depth. The London Fire Brigade spent the whole night in Covent Garden trying to pump out the water. Home to Disney's The Lion King musical since 1999, the popular West End venue could have hardly "been prepared" for this.

It's been running in the West End for 20 years now and counting. And although the Lyceum Theatre may be closed temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for tickets to see The Lion King is bound to be on the rise after the coronavirus falls. It's no secret that Disney films have the power to lift people's spirits and theatregoers will be flocking to Pride Rock again real soon for some much-needed cheer and merriment. In case you have not yet seen this theatrical gem, then there's no better time than now to start planning for your next London theatre experience. At the very least, you'll have something to look forward to once "this" is all over.
