Groups can continue to take advantage of discounted rates when booking for nine or more people for both productions. Further price reductions are available when booking for groups of 20 or more.

The Lion King

The Lion King will continue to dazzle audiences at the Lyceum Theatre until 30th May 2027, taking the story of Simba into a 27th year in the West End. 

Set in the Serengeti, the production features an array of animals including giraffes, gazelles and birds brought to life by impressive puppetry and costumes and detailed sets.

The reimagining of Disney’s beloved animated film features music and lyrics by Elton John, Tim Rice, and Lebo M, including Circle of Life, Hakuna Matata, and Can You Feel the Love Tonight, as it transports audiences to Pride Rock for the tale of Simba and his journey to reclaim his kingdom from his evil uncle Scar. 

Lasting two and a half hours, performances take place Tuesday to Saturday evenings, with Wednesday and Sunday afternoon matinees.

Hercules

Disney’s latest addition to London’s theatre scene, Hercules, is now booking until 31 October 2026, after a successful opening few months at Theatre Royal Drury Lane. 

Inspired by the 1997 Disney animated film, the show is directed by Casey Nicholaw (Book of Mormon, Aladdin) with music by Alan Menkin, who also composed for the original animation. 

Starring Luke Brady as the title character, the high-energy musical takes audiences to ancient times and Mount Olympus, home to the Greek gods, where they are introduced to the story of Hercules, the son of the gods who sets out on a mission to return to Mount Olympus. 

Hercules features larger-than-life monsters and mythology, wise-cracking one-liners and feel-good musical numbers from the whole cast, including the gospel-style muses.

Groups can continue to take advantage of discounted rates for Monday to Friday performances until October 2026.
