Disney’s The Lion King has been a cornerstone of London theatre since opening at the Lyceum Theatre in 1999, now in its 27th year, runs as one of the most popular shows in the West End. Julie Taymor, the first woman to win a Tony for Best Director of a Musical, reimagines the Oscar-winning film with music by Elton John, Tim Rice, Lebo M, Mark Mancina, and Hans Zimmer. Taymor and Michael Curry spent 37,000 hours building iconic designs, including over 232 rod, shadow, and full-sized puppets. Every mask tells a story: Mufasa's sun-like circle symbolizes balance, while Scar's is sharp and uneven. As The New York Times put it, "There is simply nothing else like it."
Under the blazing African sun, Simba, a young cub destined to be king, enjoys a carefree life in the Pride Lands and a close bond with his father, the wise King Mufasa. But in the shadows lurks Scar, the king's bitter and ambitious brother, who sees Simba as an obstacle to his royal fate. After orchestrating Mufasa's untimely death and leading Simba to believe it was his doing, he begins his despotic reign over the Pride Lands. As the years pass, the young prince comes into his own, far from his rightful kingdom, only to be jolted back to reality by his childhood friend, Nala. Leading up to the climactic battle that will decide the fate of everyone he loves, will Simba be able to accept his legacy and all that came before?

MAMMA MIA! is a sun-soaked story set on a small Greek island, where Sophie invites three men from her mother Donna's past, hoping to find out which one is her real father before her wedding. Written by Catherine Johnson, with music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, the show weaves real ABBA hits like "Dancing Queen," "Money, Money, Money," and "SOS" into the story itself. Directed by Phyllida Lloyd, it's playful, warm, and full of dancing, ending in a full ABBA disco encore, flares, platform boots, sequins, and all, that turns the whole theatre into one big singalong.
On a bright, romantic Greek isle, Sophie Sheridan’s dream of walking down the aisle is shadowed by uncertainty: who is her father? Her mother, Donna, once kept private diaries, hiding three names: Harry, Bill, and Sam. In a twist of hopeful audacity, Sophie invites all three men to her wedding, hoping one will claim the role. What follows is a warm, humorous exploration of identity, love and family under the Mediterranean sun. As old secrets surface and relationships shift, the question of the father remains, and how it will change everything.

Framed by Rob Howell’s oversized set design and Peter Darling’s precise choreography, the narrative follows a highly intelligent child taking control of her destiny. Since its 2011 West End debut, the production’s success has also inspired the 2022 film adaptation starring Emma Thompson.
At the heart of Matilda The Musical, London is Matilda Wormwood, a bright, book-loving girl with a fierce sense of justice. Born into a family that undervalues her, she finds solace in stories and the encouragement of a kind teacher. Life at school, however, is ruled by the fearsome Miss Trunchbull, whose cruel methods keep students in line.
Armed with intelligence, courage, and an imagination far beyond her years, Matilda decides it is time to stand up for herself and those around her. Along the way, she discovers that even the smallest person can spark the biggest change. But how far will she go to set things right, and what surprises lie in store when she does?

MJ The Musical on Broadway isn’t just a tribute, it’s an inside look at Michael Jackson’s creative world, framed through a 1992 rehearsal for his Dangerous World Tour. As MTV cameras arrive to document his process, Jackson revisits the memories, music, and moments that shaped his unparalleled career. Directed and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon and written by Lynn Nottage, the musical premiered in 2021 and quickly became a Broadway phenomenon, earning 4 Tony Awards, including Best Choreography, Best Lighting Design, Best Sound Design, and Best Actor in a Musical for Myles Frost (the original MJ).
The show’s design team, including Derek McLane (sets), Paul Tazewell (costumes), and Natasha Katz (lighting), recreates the glamour and grit of Jackson’s journey, from his Jackson 5 beginnings to superstardom. With Gareth Owen’s powerful sound design and Wheeldon’s kinetic choreography, every beat and moonwalk feels as alive as the man himself.
Set during rehearsals for the 1992 Dangerous World Tour, MJ The Musical on Broadway follows Michael Jackson as he prepares for the biggest concert event of his life. When an MTV documentary crew arrives, their interviews spark flashbacks that take the audience through the milestones of his extraordinary career, from his Motown childhood and Jackson 5 fame to the making of Thriller and beyond. As the rehearsal unfolds, so does the portrait of an artist driven by perfection, haunted by pressure, and determined to keep dancing no matter the cost. Through music and movement, MJ The Musical shows not just how Michael changed the world, but how the world shaped him.
