The Lion King musical in London
Understandably the The Lion King has tremendous appeal to families and is suitable for all ages, and is a particular favourite for younger children. Tickets always sell out at Christmas time as the enduring tale of Simba and his rise to become the Lion King is a firm favourite.
The Lion King is now in its 13th hit year and people are still flocking to see it. Based on the Disney animated film of the same name, it is truly a wonderful story, with good ultimately triumphing over evil. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet the story follow the adventures of Simba the Lion Cub as he deals with his father’s death, the subsequent betrayal by his Uncle Scar and flees from the Pridelands in disgrace. The musical follows his journey through many adventures and the comical characters he meets against the stunning backdrop of the African Savannah artfully re-created by amazing scenery and set design.
The costumes are colourful and brilliant and use African influences along with sensational puppetry.
The music and score used in the Lion King has been fused together using many different influences from African tribal music through to power ballads and magical love songs written by Elton John and Tim Rice, including the award-winning songs ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’ and ‘The Circle of Life’.
