Loved 😍 it!

LaToya_L, Apr 2026
This was our first show and we absolutely loved it. I was skeptical that my 11 year old son would like it. He loved it and asked if/when we'd see another show.

More of a kids production

vivian_m, Oct 2025
We sat in the royal circle and our view was obstructed which wasn’t mentioned … if you do sit there make sure it’s in the front/ middle area of the royal circle. My husband didn’t enjoy it he thought it was more of a kids production and show. I didn’t mind it. Lyceum theatre is spectacular. People were talking all thru the production.

Stunning

Kim_C, Oct 2025
So Worth seeing. Amazing costumes and talented actors that bring the story alive with song, dance, music and humor. An absolute delight for all ages

A fantastic show - Viator tickets nuance for seat location

Joanna_M, Jul 2025
Wonderful experience. I don’t think there’s a bad seat in the theater. I would say no need to get there too early: you will just wait around. There are many stairs and the elevator is unreliable. The show is fantastic, kept my 4 children awake and enraptured, which is not an easy task. Using Viator for tickets was a bit challenging as the seat numbers are not in the digital ticket or ticket details, only in the PDF download. That took a little figuring out.

Great experience!! I have...

Great experience!! I have been wanting to see this show on broadway in New York so glad I got a chance to experience it in London!! The show was awesome and is great for all ages!! Loved it!!!

Fantastic show

Lonna_C, Jul 2025
This was fabulous show, beautiful theater!!! ❤️ My husband usually falls asleep as soon as he sits down, especially in evening. He stayed awake and loved it! Highly recommend!

Absolute Must See!

claudia_l, Jun 2025
It was absolutely amazing! I would go back again and again. The whole experience was an A++ . The singing, the acting, the sets, it's was truly a memorable experience. I would say make sure to buy the extra pad where you can get the yummy popcorn, it's an absolute must have for kids under 12 years old I would say. If you can get an Aisle seat in the Stalls it would be the best experience too! Make sure to use the restroom before you sit because you won't really be able to leave (nor do you want to) and the lines at intermission are extremely long!

Exciting

Pamela_D, Oct 2024
I loved the whole performance. I would try to book the seat a lot earlier as I was in the back row . It was hot there but the view was good

Great show and perfect for our first night in London.

Mara_H, Oct 2024
Amazing production. Seeing a show while in London was a great experience. Tickets through Viator were easy and reliable. Enjoyable for all ages.

A must see

Sophia_L, Sep 2024
Such a beautiful production. I have been wanting to see this show for so long, glad I was finally able to see. Kept putting it off because I didn't have anyone to go with me. Finally went by myself and I'm glad I did.

OUTSTANDING

Mac_J, Sep 2024
Amazing show!! Defiantly a must see. There are not enough words to describe the performance. From the production, to the costumes, to the cast. I mean from A-Z AWESOME performance!! Highly recommended and planning on going again!!

Amazing and entertaining

MaryAnn_C, Aug 2024

Kylie_M, Apr 2024
Absolutely brilliant. Loved every minute of it. Would see it again and again. It was very professional done and the music was amazing.

A family friendly show!

drkolsun, Apr 2024
The music, the dancing, the costumes are all so amazing! Every minute of the show is engaging and leaves you wondering-how did they do that? ! Have dinner and a pint of local beer before the show, reservations recommended, at Wellingtons next door. Super easy to catch a black taxi cab after the show.

Was not perfect

SabriEyyup_K, Mar 2024
Dancers’ movements were not coordinated enough. Otherwise great performance. Enough said; enough said.

Great cast performance!

Nicole_B, Dec 2023
The entire cast did such a great job! The only thing I would recommend for Viator.com app is that they would allow you to select your own seats and not only the theater section.

Enjoyed it thoroughly

Zainabjaffer, Oct 2023
We bought the tickets about 3 weeks in advance and everything went very smooth. There aren’t any options for halal snacks other than crisps and popcorn but otherwise the show was amazing

Great performance.

Laura_S, Oct 2023
There was a lot of confusion because the name of the theater was not shown on our viator ticket. We had to ask several people at our hotel if they knew where the theater was.

Awesome experience

NAKUL_Y, Oct 2023
Outstanding performance by each and every actor in the show. The orchestra and stage settings need a standing ovation. Also expressions of each participant was true to their role. Bravo

It’s a MUST SEE with the whole family!

Monica_P, Aug 2023
The actors are very talented! The changes to dialogue and humour were fitting for London crowds. We thoroughly enjoyed the show!

Amazing

Tammy_B, Aug 2023
Such an amazing performance! Must see in London. Get stall seats because the animals (people dressed as animals) walk right down isles by you.

Nice musical

MariaEugenia_C, Jul 2023
Show was excellent. Seats not so good. Even paying expensive tickets, when you gave in Front s tall person it destroy all the magic. The inclination of the seats is not good.
