12 foot of water under the STAGE! Well that water that seeps into the stage during the drought has to go somewhere! |

That could be disastrous if, like many theatres, the area under the stage is used for storing costumes and props etc.

Each costume costs thousands - I’m rather concerned

Greedy Producers who have a year to make up for I’m going for £20 which is less than you used to be able to go for. Not sure how it’s changed at the top end. |

Yeah, in fairness I think it's actually a bit cheaper than pre pandemic! There used to be much larger swathes of insanely priced 'premium' seats. |

They are obviously confident in the summer as all levels are on sale. However, go to the midweek dates in September and the upper circle is off-sale, and the normally £50 seats are only £20 in the back of the Dress Circle!

I can't help but wonder how all the long runners will manage if the USA tourist market doesn't come back very quickly. |

Hi all
I am in London the first week in August and i am wanting to book the Lion King. According to their website the show starts last week in July...BUT all the other websites state the first show is not until first week in September??
Any one know for certain when the lion king is due to start up again?
Many Thanks
Also as a side question, is it worth seeing? i have been told its amazing but looking at first few pages on this thread it seems that people find it boring?

Nobody knows anything for certain right now (about any show as the unlocking stages are only confirmed a week ahead) but it might be they aren’t offering agency bookings until later as those are harder to rearrange if it does slip later.

I am more confused now....sorry i am new to all this booking shows etc. What is an agency booking? does this mean their website is wrong and there are no shows till September? I know with Covid etc nothing is certain but if there are planned shows when we are there id like to book...its just most places are saying September and thats confusing me |

Where is saying September?
if the show’s own website is saying end of just there is the best we can go with right now.

That’s a ticket agency. What I meant was Disney may only want to sell tickets themselves for the first month or two until things are more definite. |

Someone asked if this show is good ? I’ve seen it a few times, I’d recommend getting a Stalls central aisle seat if you can.

If you're desperate to see this show, the Monkey is your guy (well, monkey, not guy) - theatremonkey.com. I'm sure this has been mentioned extensively in this thread, but the show doesn't discount. My feelings on the show aside, I don't think even the staunchest fans would argue it offers value for top price or "premium" seats.
I don't know how this'll fit into the current Covid theatre world, but my advice would be to really try and find value.

The boxes used to be good value (and you ran the risk of a puppeteer commandeering your space with a bird) and also the back row of the circle. You missed the top of an aerial sequence, but this was a small price to pay for a decent non-upper circle seat. The tour offers almost as much spectacle, so don’t rule it out when it gets back on the road.
