REVIEW: The Lion King, Lyceum Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭

The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre London. Tickets on sale now

As the lights go down, and Rafiki begins summoning the animals to Pride Rock, it becomes obvious that Director Julie Taymor has created the greatest opening for any musical EVER! You can’t help but get goosebumps on your goosebumps as The Circle Of Life transports you to the African heartlands. There is an amazing majesty in the staging of this number that I doubt will be equalled any time soon.
