Does the performance have any special effects?
The Lion King contains theatrical smoke and fog effects as well as strobe lighting during parts of the show.
Disney’s award-winning musical The Lion King explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music. It follows the powerful story of Simba as he journeys from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.
Now in its 24th year at London’s Lyceum Theatre, visionary director Julie Taymor’s acclaimed reimagining of Disney’s beloved film will redefine your expectation of theatre.
It requires 50 cast members plus an additional 100 people backstage to make each performance happen.
There are more than 232 puppets in the show, including rod puppets, shadow puppets and full-sized puppets.
It took director Julie Taymor and her team 37,000 hours to build the original puppets and masks.
More than 110 million people have experienced the show worldwide.
