Reviews of Lyceum Theatre
"Beautiful experience watching The Lion King in this place. Have different stair entrances on the ticket you purchased. We r on the Grand Circle area. Very nice view from where we sat, though steep. Has good bar area. Toilet facilities clean.Highly recommended."
"This time we sat in Box F, so private, restricted view , we have to lean in to see the whole show and you will miss most things which happening on left stage and nearly the whole show take place on the left. The creative, lighting, set design and production is extremely marvellous. The crew and cast are so fantastic specially one cast come into the box as part of the show. Musical and orchestra are awesome. Highly highly recommended. Worth every penny."
"Very good theatre. We went to see the lion king and the presentation was excellent. There are bars and toilets available at the venue. The venue itself is within walking distance of quite a few underground stations, so is very easy to get to. There is no direct parking. Only downside was the seats in the grand circle were not as comfortable as seats in other theatres."
"Lion King is great musical with additional vibe that different from the original animation that I enjoy. Great for people of all ages, especially the family. My seat, Stalls U 35 was great and worth the money. You have a clear view of a whole stage, and you near the action that happen in the aisle. The seat itself wasn’t big but get a okay legroom. Overall, this musical is great and enjoyable. Quick service at the entrance. The theatre is beautiful. To be honest, I like it much better than the live action."
