behind us sat a russian family of six people who discussed loudly with each other during their entire stay in the theater, despite repeated requests for silence. the performance was thus considerably disturbed for us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) The musical is visually stunning — the costumes are truly impressive, and the exhibition setup is original and engaging. It’s clear that a lot of care went into the production design. However, my children and I didn’t really connect with most of the actors’ performances. We found it hard to fully believe their characters. That said, the actress who played Rafiki was absolutely incredible — full of energy and presence. Pumbaa and Timon also stood out with their charm and humor. 🧡🧡 Overall, it’s a beautiful show with some memorable highlights, but for us, the emotional connection was missing in much of the cast.

Unforgettable Experience! From the very beginning, I was transported into the heart of the African savanna, with breathtaking costumes, powerful performances, and stunning stage design. The show was vibrant, emotional, and visually spectacular. The cast was phenomenal, and the magical music filled the theater with warmth and excitement. I truly enjoyed the whole performance with the lovely company of dear friend.

The costumes were fantastic, as were the stage effects. Please ask the theatre to have quiet wrappers, or just don't sell crisps/loud snacks. People should be able to manage an hour without a snack. It's no fun to have the group behind us CRINKLING AND CRINKLING, especially during the quiet songs. The show could have been a little louder. We were in the Royal Circle. Sometimes it was a bit hard to hear, especially the lyrics.

Uncomplicated booking at short notice I couldn't show the tickets on my cell phone because I didn't have internet - very friendly and helpful staff explained what we could do and the tickets were printed out 😀 The performance was the best I've seen of musicals recently: very good artists, very good voices, dancers and the stage just great - thanks for an unforgettable afternoon!

We finally saw The Lion King and it completely blew us away. The costumes and puppetry are genius—so creative and unlike anything else I’ve seen on stage. The music is just as powerful live, and the cast put so much heart into their performances. Rafiki especially stood out—funny, soulful, and totally captivating. Even though I knew the story, it felt fresh and deeper somehow. It’s one of those shows that makes you feel like a kid again, while still hitting some emotional notes as an adult.

Truely world class and amazing performance. One of the most professional and creative things I have ever seen. However the large amount of people talking, taking pictures, on their phone etc was severely distracting. Never been in such a disrespectful audience.

Love the whole experience. Although at first we are unable to buy online (probably bec we are fr Indonesia and our connection at UK sometimes was weak) but we finally managed to get the tickets. We are super excited bec this is our first time to attend a musical in London which is a must from what I heard. And we indeed made a perfect choice. The Devil Wears Prada was amazing from the choreographer, the cast, the costumes, the set and of course the musics👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
