A hundred and fourteen people are involved in creating each showing. Never mind the children… adults who see The Lion King are equally astonished by the sheer skill and realism of the musical’s animal puppet stars.Īpparently it took an enormous seventeen thousand hours to make the puppets and masks. Eighteen foot high giraffes canter along the aisles, amazingly real-looking gazelles trot by, and a herd of wildebeest stampede just a few feet away. Elton’s song Circle of Life sets the stage, giving a powerful introduction to this delightful tale about coming of age that’s just as relevant to humans as it is to the creatures the show portrays.Ī roaring success of a musical, attracting full-house audiences since opening in 1997, it’s a tour de force in professional puppetry, delivering a genuine spectacle that’s very hard to forget. The Lion King features a host of amazing creatures in fantastic costumes, superb choreography and an intimate stage experience you never get with 2d film.Įlton John’s runaway best-selling musical score, together with Tim Rice’s unforgettable lyrics, makes this show really special. But good as it is, it doesn’t prepare you for the sheer magic of this superb stage production. The Lion King the movie was absolutely fantastic. The best of Disney magic transferred to the West End stage Can Simba and his good friends Timon and Pumbaa solve the problem, and can he restore the essential Circle of Life? Under their mis-management, the Pride Lands soon become barren and everyone who lives there is in big trouble. But his wicked Uncle Scar scuppers his plans and when tragedy strikes, Simba runs away, leaving Uncle Scar and the nasty hyenas in charge. Simba the lion cub is looking forward to becoming the king of the Pride. Join little Simba, the next king of the Pride, in his fight to take his rightful place on the throne. With six coveted Tony Awards, a Grammy award for the show album and two prestigious Olivier awards under its belt, this is a real show stopper of a musical for the whole family.
Transport yourself and your children to the magical world of the African bush, where life-size animals roam the stage and a magical tale of triumph against evil unfolds.
