As a historic West End venue, the Lyceum Theatre offers three main seating tiers for The Lion King: Stalls (orchestra), Royal Circle (mezzanine), and Grand Circle (balcony). Each section provides unique advantages—here's how to choose the best seats for your budget and experience.

- Grand Circle Row H ($125): Improved sightlines over Row L—recommended for families or groups needing multiple seats.
- Royal Circle Row P ($125): Exceptional value—closer than Grand Circle with better elevation to appreciate the iconic overhead puppetry.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View: $150-$200)
- Royal Circle Row N ($157): Prime mid-tier seating—center views with perfect elevation to take in the full spectacle of the savanna scenes.
- Stalls Row ZA ($182): Rear stalls still offer good proximity to the stage, though views may be slightly obstructed during ground-level scenes.
- Royal Circle Row J ($182): Front of Royal Circle—unparalleled for appreciating the production's intricate choreography and set details.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Views, $200+)

- Stalls Row L ($273): VIP proximity—experience the "Circle of Life" opening as if you're on the African plains.
Key View Differences by Section

Last-Minute & Premium Options
If budget allows, Stalls Rows L-T deliver transformative proximity—you'll feel the drumbeats vibrate through your seat during the wildebeest stampede. For sold-out shows, check for Royal Circle Row J releases (often held for production holds).
