THE LION KING  (musical)

Kimba (sorry), Simba is the lion prince, promoted on the suspicious death of his father. A wicked uncle, aspirant lioness princess, and flatulent warthog get in on the act to round out the tails (sorry) tales of the African plain.

Theatremonkey Opinion:

No fan of the movie (derivative and frankly borderline racist in theatremonkey's opinion), the stage version held even less appeal.

On the plus side the anthropomorphism is a step up from 'Cats', with some stunning costume design allowing herds of animals to be portrayed by a single talented dancer. An effective scenic design and awesome lighting plot create a very real environment, better than any cartoon.

So the scene is right. The book just isn't. The same witless story is stretched by adding just serviceable John / Rice numbers to a set this monkey was already sick of from the film release. 

Go see it and make up your own mind.

2008. This was my fourth visit to "The Lion King," and without doubt will be my last. As others have mentioned, the whole thing is looking so tired, they really need a cast change or something. It was such an amazing show when I first saw it a few years ago as it really did leave you spellbound; now, I'm afraid, only leaves you housebound!!

The actors say their lines far too fast - which means you miss some of the jokes - and they all have an air of 'oh hell, do we really have to do this again!!' The audience weren't responding to any of the jokes (probably due to reasons already mentioned) and could barely raise a hand to clap after each of the musical numbers, which I think is a crying shame and in such contrast to what I've seen before. With tickets hitting £60, I feel that audiences going along now are not getting the value for money as those in recent years. It's time for an overhaul... and soon!!

One other point, which I couldn't fail to notice, was the actor who played Scar obviously had problems. He kept spraying everybody within 20 feet with spittle and when he was up on his ledge above the stalls (thankfully the other side of the stage to me) almost drowned the entire first few rows of the stalls as gallons of the stuff was pouring out of his mouth. It was absolutely vile (I say with a rather sinister smile on my face).

We were sat in row B seats 8 and 9, which I feel is too close for this particular production as you get to see all the workings close up and all the fed up tired looking faces of the cast and all the puppets which are falling apart; as well as a chance of getting a shower thanks to Scar (I wondered why the conductor was wearing a shower cap!!) Talking of the conductor, I'm also glad I wasn't sat further along the row towards the centre because my view would have been obstructed by the rather large head of the man himself, complete with Tina Turner hair do!!

I hope someone puts some life back into it again because this was once the 'cream of the crop' and fear it will start sliding towards the pit of closure given the current climate in theatre land.

Sorry, I hate moaning about stuff!!
______________________

I would like to say that "The Lion King" was absolutely Brilliant!!!!, Real nice costumes, real good act!!! A show you mustn’t miss - and is all good for Kids and Adults. I know the food prices and drinks are high in London, (obviously it is Covent Garden) and therefore I did equip myself with goodies and snacks from the shop across the street...

Well, hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!!!!

I went to see 'The Lion King' on the 27th August 2008 at the matinee performance. I don't get all the fuss is about. It's not the most amazing thing I've ever seen, but it still is good. I don't think I'd see it again, mainly because of the reason I think there is much better West End going on at the moment that I'd rather see them again. However, having said that I do think the effects are incredible.

The whole cast dressed up as animals is beautiful and so clever, especially in the beginning. I think this is it's good point, because personally the songs are not the best, and not very catchy, but the storyline I think does work. But I never liked the film, so maybe I hold grudges. I do think the costumes and scenery are the strongest of points. The cast is talented, but the songs don't show off the best of their abilities.

Being based on Disney, it is almost childish where the song about 'No worries' comes on. My maturity is showing. And also that reminds me, two kids starting running around during the middle of the performance. Fortunately the Usher had a word with the parents. However, after all my negative points, I did enjoy it. But my sister (who saw it a few years ago) was disappointed that it is not my favourite show, as it is hers. I only went to see it because she keeps going on about it. Everyone has to see it at least once to male their own opinion as it is a very mixed view show. It does have lots of humour in it, but again other West End show prove better.

I sat in the GRAND CIRCLE Row L seats 28 and 29. I think the price is very very good for these seats, especially as they're in the middle and you can see everything. Although in the stalls you get the cast walking right by you so you feel more included. But as I'm not the biggest fan, I think these are the best seats as the view hardly changes in the grand circle where ever you sit and they're the cheapest. The leg room is good, but be a bit careful if you're 5ft 7 and above, because it can be a little uncomfortable.

So if I didn't put you off, get your tickets (the cheap ones) because you could be disappointed and I wouldn't want you to waste your money if that happened!
__________________________

I went to see "The Lion King" for the second time with my nephew and nieces on Sunday 23rd November 2008, and it was absolutely fantastic. The costumes, acting, songs, and theatrical performances were superb. Contrary to what I was expecting this time round, the current cast delivered what I’ll describe as a flawless production. The kids absolutely enjoyed it, and at one stage to my embarrassment and to everyone else’s annoyance, they joined in the singing to the tunes of 'Ha Kuna Matata.'

My only criticism was that the gift shop, which was a tad overpriced - what did I expect, you may ask! Still we are living through a very unsympathetic recession. ;)

Nevertheless a brilliant production and I can only recommend every man, woman and child to go and see this production and assimilate the beauty of artistry genius.

Also don’t forget to take good company with you, it gives it that extra fun factor.

My wife and I went to see 'The Lion King' last night (19th February 2009) after years of people telling us how fantastic it was. I have to say they were right! The way that they have managed to bring a Disney cartoon to the stage is done with such energy and grace that you sometimes forget that you are watching a West End show. You think you are there with them!

We were in the Royal Circle in seats M23 and 24. I took the advice of the Monkey's seating plan and once again it didn't let me down! When we got there it seemed that the overhang might be an issue with regards of what we were able to see but I was wrong! They were perfect. In fact, I think it is better to be sat a little way back then you see less of the actors in the costumes. All you see is the animals!

As for the production itself it was a very good adaptation of the Disney classic. There were only two things that didn't really work for me. The first is Scar's decision that he wants a son and heir and subsequently tries to force himself on Nala. This was completely unnecessary within the context of the story and even made it feel too sinister. Not a good point to have to explain to young children! The other thing was that when the spirit of Mufasa comes back to talk to Simba it looked very robotic which was a bit of a let down. They could have done with both characters on stage facing away from each other and talking!

The acting is polished and slick. The African dialect and singing is magical and something to be cherished. Not even children will be bored of this! The children playing the parts of Young Simba and Nala are obviously loving what they are doing. The boy playing Simba has to carry 99% of the first act on his shoulders. Not an easy job for someone so young. However, he does it with energy and professionalism which is refreshing to see!

If you are anything like me part of the experience is watching the percussionists in the royal boxes who obviously are highly skilled and love what they do. But maybe that's just me!

One last tip: it says on the tickets take your seats five minutes before the start. It's for a good reason and also do the same before the end of the interval. You will not be disappointed!
__________________________

My school's Culture Club organised a trip to see 'The Lion King' on Tuesday 9th December 2008. About 20 of us went with a few of the staff. We managed to get a good group booking - we were spread about a bit in groups over 3 different rows but we managed to get great seats in the stalls for only £23 each. Bargain! I was sitting in Q13 and I must say the view was superb. Not too far back and not too close to the stage. The legroom wasn't too bad either (considering I'm 5 foot 10) the only gripe was a large group of annoying young boys sitting behind us - but that was to be expected at a Disney show.

That aside, it was a great show! I'd been before many years ago - I must have been 8 - and the hyenas scared me so much I had to swap from my aisle seat to a safer one! I remembered some parts of the show but I'd forgotten the impact it has on you. This show is amazingly uplifting which I think is not just down to the story, songs and costumes - the cast is particularly exceptional, sung brilliantly and acted well. George Asprey's (Scar) and Shaun Escoffery's (Mufasa) performances stood out for me but I can't fault any of the main cast or ensemble at all to be honest. It really feels like every member has a passion for what they do and give 100% every single show, which unfortunately seems like a rare thing nowadays.

I would recommend this to anyone of any age, especially if they can get cheap seats like we did! I'd also suggest buying the soundtrack because you will need to satisfy your addiction to the songs for several weeks afterwards!

Seating Plan Diagram

Stalls Dress Circle Upper Circle Notes
STALLS 
The Dress Circle overhangs the stalls at row R, the view of the top of the stage is affected from row T. In addition the ceiling is low and painted dull purple making a gloomy atmosphere in the back stalls.

The stalls are split into a large centre block and two narrow side blocks by aisles.

The centre block offers good value in all seats from rows A to P. One reader notes, however, that there is now a problem with seat A9:
"seat 9 (just in the middle) was right behind the conductor. I couldn’t see nearly anything! It felt like a rip-off".

The notes also continue that:
"The 2 or 3 first rows are too close to the stage."

though in contrast two other readers feels that,

"We sat on the 2nd row. Possibly might have got a better overall view from the dress circle but you certainly felt part of the show being so near".

"Theatremonkey seating plan says A9 is not good due to the view of the conductor but seated just one seat to the side of this I could not see this as being a major problem. The head of the conductor is in view for all Row A and B seats in the centre section for some part, but it's not too bad." 

In July 2007, another reader notes,
"I felt a little sorry for the lady in A12 who did have the conductor’s head in her way. We sat in the stalls Row A seats 13, 14 and 15... The main issue with being so close is that you miss some of the “low-down” action e.g. when the characters are lying down or crouching. I also saw the stage hands 3 or 4 times which wasn’t good!! If I went again, I would sit in the centre stalls about 6 to 10 rows back."

Sounds like the conductor moves around, something to watch for, warns the monkey.

The monkey rated the first three rows highly, but recognises the other comments as equally valid. While it felt rows A to C worthwhile, this is obviously a case for many to make up their own minds! Oddly, when it sat in A9, there was no conductor there...or maybe it just didn't notice a problem...still, live theatre changes all the time and it is grateful for the latest information. Without a conductor, though, maybe it wouldn't be as much of a musical!

Row A seats 4 to 19 have been dropped to second price to allow for the fact you look up at the stage. The monkey feels that those well clear of the conductor are notable value at this price - and A 12 to 17 are the pick of these. Perhaps not suiting those who dislike looking directly upwards, but for everyone else...

In row B a reader says,
"B seats 8 and 9, which I feel is too close for this particular production as you get to see all the workings close up and all the fed up tired looking faces of the cast and all the puppets which are falling apart. I'm also glad I wasn't sat further along the row towards the centre because my view would have been obstructed by the rather large head of the conductor, complete with Tina Turner hair do!!"

A gentle slope begins about row C, and is more noticeable from row E back, though children may still prefer an aisle seat as it won't help them much.

Readers Messrs Colin and Asa Mccarthy-Burton report:
"Our tickets were just off the aisle in the stalls centre block on row E, well what a fantastic view we had!! Lots of legroom and a perfect view". 

Reader Andy says,
"I recommend getting seats as close to the front as possible to really appreciate this show. We were in Row H of the stalls which was perfect."

another reader agrees,
"Seats H7 and H8 were fine."

Another reader comments,
"Sat in seats J11 and 12 in the stalls. Excellent seats. Great legroom, superb view and you are next to the aisle in the centre block which means the animals parade past you at various points in the performance. Once again Theatremonkey's green seat recommendation is spot on. There really is only one place to see this show and that is from the stalls."

Centre block seats in rows H to K are sold as "Premium" - at a higher price. One way to guarentee an outstanding view, if you are happy to pay it, thinks the monkey.

Rows Q to T are fair but far from the stage for the money (worth considering on Wednesday Afternoons), though reader Caroline notes,
"We sat in the middle of Row Q which I would definitely recommend."

as does another reader,
"I was sitting in Q13 and I must say the view was superb. Not too far back and not too close to the stage. The legroom wasn't too bad either (considering I'm 5 foot 10)."

Rows U and V at top price may be tending a little more expensive too.

Row W is second price and much more worthwhile than the more expensive row in front, feels the monkey.  The view is average here, but the ambience is miserable.

At third price, row X away from the sound desk looks a better deal. Row X seats 23 to 33, row Y 22 and 23, Z 20 and 21 and ZA 18 and 19 should be avoided as they are around the sound control desk and so have distractions during the production. If you are willing to put up with this, though, the price is fairly attractively reduced by up to £10 savings at all performances in these seats - a welcome move, notes the monkey.

It is also worth noting that Dress Circle rows M and N are the same price as X back - your call, feels the monkey, who feels the Dress Circle view for the same money is far back but has a better rake over seats in front than the stalls do - worth considering if you have younger monkeys in the group.

Wheelchairs have spaces in the side and centre blocks in row P. The view is acceptable. See notes. Transfer is possible to any stalls aisle seat.

The side blocks are narrow and mostly located outside the proscenium arch. The two seats closest to the central aisles in rows A to J are fine, and from row K to P the viewing angle is sufficient to consider these seats over seats farther back in the centre block. Rows R to ZA are little colonies with access ways in front. The view is distant from the stage and the seats feel isolated from the action. Take S to W only if nothing better is offered, and note that from X back they are much cheaper, and perhaps worth a thought if you can't get more central tickets for the money (take Dress Circle rows M and N before these, though).

Side block row U back is cheaper, as are extreme ends of rows S and T. The monkey would take the nearest central aisle seats in U first, then V (if centre block isn't available at the same price).

The ends of rows A to M are sold at restricted view prices. The end two seats in rows C to L, and the end 3 in rows A and B all drop to third price. Take G to J first, then J, K then L, then M or F. The distance from the stage lessens the restriction slightly. Then consider E and rows forward - though bear in mind the further forward you go, the less you see. Some may want to take row ZA before rows C, B and A.

Reader "Hoodlum" reports:
We got restricted seats F31 and 32 and it really wasn't too bad. You miss a bit of the action that is taking place on the extreme left of the stage but this only happens in two scenes. The opening and closing, because so many people are on stage. it is thrilling to be in the stalls because you are involved in the action. I had a singer come right next to my seat and tap it with his stick! The tickets cost about £32 - considering full price is £47.50 (then), I felt that restricted view in Lion King was not all that bad."

Another reader comments that they felt the end seats were not really "restricted view", more just cheap because they are at the extreme ends of the row.

Legroom is good in rows E to ZA, adequate in rows A to D, and outstanding in row N seats 1 to 5 and 52 to 60 which have aisles in front.

Stalls Boxes
One either side of the theatre. These have a side view, which one reader is keen on, preferring them to Dress Circle boxes. They are actually above the stalls, not at the same level. Another reader says,
"I took my grandson (he's a very small 8) - buying the two seats in box D of the Stalls(restricted view). I must say that I consider these ideal if you have a small child with you.

The left hand side of the stage is cut off a little true - but my grandson was able to stand, and his view was very good and the box is very near the stage for a little one - and no 'tutting' off people sitting by you as there are only the two of you in the box. The chairs were a little old-but that was bearable! SPOILER: A member of the cast joins you for 5 minutes at the start of the second half-very exciting for a little one! All in all-100% recommended with a small child."

Another reader says of box D,
"I didn't tell my partner we had box seats so was very exciting being led down a secret corridor to our own room. The left hand side is a bit obscured, but you are pretty close to the front. You can move the chairs around and lean on the edge of the box so you don't really miss anything. Great seats if, like me, you tend to fidget having to sit still for so long, and of course no problems with legroom! You feel a bit like royalty in there, and can talk quietly between yourselves during the production without disturbing anyone. If you don't like crowds or chattering kids its ideal. SPOILER: A minor dancer joins you in the first song of the second act, but in box K (I think) you are joined by a singer in the very first song. I'd really recommend a box for romantic couples or for parents with kids. It felt more like a private performance just for us. Good value!"

The seating is on chairs, which can be moved around.

 

 

DRESS CIRCLE 
Called the ROYAL CIRCLE in this theatre.

The Upper Circle overhangs this at row C, making the top of the stage invisible from row J back.

Aisles split these seats into a central and two side blocks. A reader notes that the two centre aisles have metal bars at the end, affecting the view slightly in row A, seats 12, 13, 25 and 26. The steep rake mean these are not so much of a problem in the equivalent seats of row B.

Reader Michelle warns, though:
"We paid top price for 4 front row (A) Dress Circle seats in the centre for ourselves and our two children. As you state, there is a bar running along the edge here which does slightly restrict the view if sat right back in your seat, but what we found worse was the light gantry which protrudes from the font centre of the dress circle. This comes out so far that short people (like me) and my two children had to sit forward in our seats all the way through (to constant tutting from people behind!) so that we could see the performance otherwise our view of the entire front part of the stage was totally masked. Very disappointing."

another reader noticed it too,
"From Row B seats 27 and 28, the view was extremely good and could see everything clearly. The people in the first row of the Dress Circle may have a problem seeing due to something sticking out the front of the circle."
 

One reader notes that he prefers the view from the front Dress Circle to that in the same priced stalls, another felt that,
"I had a perfect view from the centre of row F. Worth paying top price for". 

Reader Pam Coombs endorses this,
"Our seats were perfect in the centre of Row F Royal Circle, 17, 18 and 19."

Reader Richard Sellens says,
"My view from Row C in the Dress Circle was great and at one point I also had a cast member singing near me!!!"

The central block offers clear views and fair value back to row H. From row J back the view is affected by the overhang of the Circle above. Row P suffers especially from this. If you are a purist who likes to see the very top of the proscenium arch, avoid. Some also feel that rows M to P feel a long way from the stage. Choose rear stalls over these.

A reader comments,
"The seats in row L are comfortable and there is sufficient leg room for even me at 6' 2" but we were so far from the stage we couldn't see faces or expressions and the public involvement with the action is only for those in the stalls so you feel deprived in the circle. When you are quite close in the stalls you can make yourself look at the characters heads and believe in them. From the back of the circle you are mainly aware of the actor working the character which is not the same."

Against this, someone else says,
"Seats M23 and 24. I took the advice of the Monkey's seating plan and once again it didn't let me down! When we got there it seemed that the overhang might be an issue with regards of what we were able to see but I was wrong! They were perfect. In fact, I think it is better to be sat a little way back then you see less of the actors in the costumes. All you see is the animals!"

Rows M and N behind are now much cheaper, reflecting distances.

One reader, though, feels differently. A real fan of row P, his comment is that:
"From row P, they say it is restricted view as during "Can You Feel..." you miss about a minute of the ariel ballet because of the overhang of the other circle above it. I think they are a bit of a bargain, though, as the main actors etc are on stage during this minute anyway. Children will see the ballet from here - it is just taller people will miss out".

From October 2010, this row becomes the same price as the row in front... taller folk might want to take M and N first.

The side blocks also offer a clear view from all seats. The first and last four seats in each row, should be avoided or considered last for being on the sides of the block - small children in particular could miss parts of the show from the very endmost seats. The same notes as for the centre block apply about the best rows.

Rows J and K in the side blocks drop a price. The monkey likes the idea of seats J 9 to 11 and 33 to 35 and K 7 to 9 and 34 to 36 in these rows - similar view to the central block, but cheaper and a bit further forward than other tickets at the same price.

The rake is very steep in this circle making the back row seem a long way from the stage. Since the circle itself is towards the rear of the theatre it feels a long way from the stage even in the front row. Theatremonkey prefers the stalls for the same cost.

Legroom is fairly cramped in row A, acceptable for most in other seats, though choose the stalls if over five foot eight tall. One reader felt that row K was cramped, for example, though another in row L found it comfortable even for someone 6ft 2 tall. 

 

Dress Circle Boxes
Two either side of the theatre, between stage and circle. They were originally not sold, then just two seats of a possible six were placed on sale at restricted view price.

On the plus side, you pay for what you get - a view of about two thirds of the stage, for two thirds of the price. You may also be joined by cast members fooling about. On the negative side, well, they had a good reason for not selling these seats before, so why are they doing it now? Ask this before buying. The monkey likes the legroom, but is not keen on the view. A reader feels that if you want a box, C and D in the stalls are a better bet.

The seating is on chairs, which can be moved around.

Boxes G, H, J and K are a possible discount choice over other restricted view seats in the Upper Circle or full view seats in the Grand Circle. For those willing to share the box with actors...and lose a little view, the monkey thinks the seats may build a cult following at the new price.

 

UPPER CIRCLE
Called the GRAND CIRCLE in this theatre.

This circle is very high above the ground and steeply raked enough to induce vertigo in many people. Normally, this is as they make their way down to their seats and most find that, once seated, they become used to the height.

A metal bar runs across the front of this circle affecting the view slightly in row A. 

Double bars at the ends of the aisles affect seats A 14, 15, B 15, 16, C 15, 16, D 14, 15, A 33, 34, B 34, 35, C 25, 34 and D 33, 34 enough to have the price reduced. These seats are average value.

Reader Roxana comments of these,
"We sat in seats 33 and 34, row A of the Upper ( top) Circle. These are marked as partially restricted view ( lowest price ) because they have a rail in front of them. We just leaned on the ( dirty) rail , and the view was perfect, though high up. Not worth it to buy any other seats in the same level at a more expensive price because we had the same view as everyone else. From reading the reviews, it seems as though the viewers who sat in the stalls had a better impression of the play than I did at the top. From up there, we could see layers of dirt and dust on all the wall stucco ornaments and the whole thing looked very shabby. The velvet on the rail was torn to pieces."

As in the Dress Circle, aisles split these seats into a central and two side blocks. The central block offers clear views and fair value back to row G. From row H back the rake angle is noticeably steep and it feels a long way down and also far from the stage. Value for money is still fair - better now row H is cheaper.

The side blocks as usual offer a clear view from all except the first and last four seats in each row, which should be avoided. If paying full price, opt for the centre block as you will get better views for the same cash. The same notes as for the centre block apply about the best rows. Row A 1, 47, row B 1, 2, 48, 49 and row C 1, 49 are felt by one reader to have a "sideways" view of the stage.

The rear rows in all blocks are reasonably priced for those on a budget, but a head for heights is advisable.

A reader notes that if those in the front row lean forward, you will be forced to do so too in order to see the whole stage.

Another reader comments that,

"In the Upper Circle, Row A. I could see the stage easily but I could see rather too much in that the effects were ruined by the fact that you could see how they were created. Given that I was at the front of the Upper Circle, I thought this was appalling. 

You could see the rollers the buffalos were on more clearly than the buffalos themselves. During the river scene, the fish were not visible but the people holding the cutouts and the lights very definitely were. And  the pad onto which the character jumped obvious for the whole piece.

I would certainly recommend not to go to Upper Circle. Seats may be cheaper but they are still a lot of money and these 'errors' reduced my enjoyment considerably."

In row L, a reader says,
"Row L seats 28 and 29. I think the price is very very good for these seats, especially as they're in the middle and you can see everything. Although in the stalls you get the cast walking right by you so you feel more included. But as I'm not the biggest fan, I think these are the best seats as the view hardly changes in the grand circle where ever you sit and they're the cheapest. The leg room is good, but be a bit careful if you're 5ft 7 and above, because it can be a little uncomfortable."

Another reader says,
"Upper Circle row M seats 36 to 39 - the view was fine."

Legroom is poor in all seats, worst in row A. Those over five foot tall should consider end of row seats on the centre aisle which should provide some respite for one leg anyway.

Standing space is behind a fairly high wall with a bar on top, so is not suitable for children or those under 5ft 6 or so. Reader Chris May stood here, and reports: 

"WHAT A BARGAIN!! I stood in 'position 17' at the back of the Upper Circle and had a marvellous view of the stage. 

After bribing a small boy with a pound to use his binoculars I was able to stand back and watch the fantastic big set pieces that make this show so good unfold before my natural view, and when solo songs and speaky bits happened I could zoom in and look at the faces in detail. The only draw back from the standing tickets are that you are not close to all the stalls action that happens but you still see it all and you have to join in the applause simply for the arrival of the animals. 

One problem is that it is inevitable that when standing you may be next to annoying Japanese girls who don't understand ' no photos' and talk to one another a lot. Be firm with them and, if they don't shut up, make the ushers do some work. Also, due to the cheap (well cheaper) seats being at the back....school groups are inevitable. This cannot be helped so there is nowt you can do."
