Which seats for the lion King?

[KatyS36]

Hello,
I realise I'm very privileged to be asking this question but if you've seen the lion King in London can you share where to sit experiences? I'm trying to decide how much I need to pay to get a decent view.

We can afford the mid price tickets. I can't really justify or afford the high end tickets. I've been wanting to see it for years, it will be the only time we go. A reasonable view is important though and hence I'm prepared to pay what it takes.

Your experiences and recommendations appreciated.

Thanks Katy

If you sit in the stalls some of the animals arrive on the stage past you

If you sit in the circle you see the shapes of the choreograpahy formed by the dancers

I prefer the circle - but I don't mind how high up I am

I like the front row tbh. I think a few rows back is more expensive but I really like being so close to the action. I also try to book the end of the aisle as the performers walk down and brush against you.

It's a great show, enjoy.

I always used to use a site called seat monkey which gave independent reviews of all the theatres and shows. I will see if I can find a link...

Seems to b called theatre monkey not seat monkey. 40 week pregnancy brain.....

Thank you. Dd (age 8) would be thrilled to have animals go past her, end of stall is a great tip.

Definitely the stalls as the animals walk through the aisles to get to the stage. It was so stunning I had tears in my eyes before the opening song had finished

Also wondering what the view is like from second row grand circle. These tickets are relatively cheap. None of us have any issues with heights. Am sorely tempted by front row side seats....
