I finally decided to see this after I got a £20 day stalls ticket from Disney Day Seats to see this stage adaption from the film, which itself was (very) loosely based on Hamlet – but with animals ruled by lions
It doesn’t have the same level of special effects as some other musicals in London, but it does have some of the best quality puppets in theatre.
It followed the film quite closely and had a couple of extra songs added.
There was a disappointingly low number of people wearing mandatory face coverings, which in this production are even more important due to the cast getting quite close to some people in the stalls and boxes.
