Artistic, especially for dancers and singers to make themselves into the roles Just one disappointment. The guy sitting in my front row was tall and often leaned towards his daughter sitting next to him.
It hid the stage from my sight and I needed to try to catch enough sight for me. But surety it bothered someone who sit one row behind. Also the lady who sat next to me operated her smartphone during the stage.
I understand this program is for all generations and we must ne tolerant, but I paid expensive tickets…..

The Lion King still rules theatre land Tonight’s performance of The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre was a reminder of why this show remains one of the great theatrical experiences in London.
There was a short interruption of around 15 minutes when one of the performers had to be replaced, but even that was handled with professionalism and calm. Once the show resumed, the cast delivered with such energy, precision and heart that the pause was quickly forgotten.
The performances were outstanding throughout - powerful vocals, expressive movement, and a real emotional connection from the stage. The sets remain breathtaking, the costumes are extraordinary, and the sheer imagination behind the staging still feels magical, even after all these years.
From the opening moments to the final curtain, The Lion King continues to combine spectacle, music and storytelling in a way very few productions can match. It is vibrant, moving, visually stunning and full of life.
A brief break in the performance did nothing to diminish the evening. If anything, it highlighted the professionalism of the company and the strength of the production.
The Lion King still rules theatre land.
