You're in London. You know that you need London theatre tickets. After all, a show on London's West End is like Broadway in New York. People don't go to London and not see a show...

But which show? That's actually a pretty easy question to answer at the moment. Lion King tickets are the hottest thing going at the moment and the show (produced by Disney Theatrical based on the 1994 animated film of the same name) is the most recommended show in London right now.

The show is playing at the Lyceum Theatre on Wellington Street. It's received rave reviews.

• "A ravishing spectacle. I can hardly wait to see it again." - Georgina Brown, Mail on Sunday


• "For once a mega-musical lives up to the hype; this is a dazzling show." - Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
• "A blockbuster musical with beauty and brains." - Sarah Hemming, The Financial Times
• "This is a wonderful, wonderful musical: thrilling, warm-hearted, inventive and original. 'The lion King' will touch a deep chord in everybody. - John Peter, Sunday Times
• "You hope all nights at the theatre will be like this. 'The Lion King' restores true magic to the West End." - Michael Coveney, Daily Mail

The Lion King continues to draw large crowds to the Lyceum and there's no sign that the show's popularity will abate any time soon. So book your tickets in advance. It remains the show to see in London.
