The Lion King - The Story
Tricked in to believing that he killed his father by his evil uncle 'Scar' - who has his sights on being king- the prince Simba flees his homeland. Simba embarks on an adventure of exploration with help from some friends:
Rafiki a wise old baboon, Timon the comedic meerkat and his side-kick Pumbaa - a warthog with a very big heart- and of course his best friend Nala.
Simba learns a few of life's lessons on the way with the help of his friends, but does he claim his rightful place as King?

The Lion King - Ticketing
When you purchase a theatre ticket, normally the best way to purchase if you can is direct in person from the theatre, for most people this is impractical. The top shows are sold out weeks if not months in advance.
It is not generally possible to purchase tickets direct online from the theatre, there are no e-tickets. Tickets are sold through agents of one kind or another. You can either collect the tickets or have them mailed to you.
When you purchase a theatre ticket you should be made aware of the face value, this is the normal price of the ticket if you bought direct at the theatre. Agents will normally charge you more than the face value, this is their commission and/or mailing fee. If there is an offer you will pay less than the face value of the ticket.
The most popular shows are often sold out well in advance, especially at the popular weekend shows.
A great way to both save money and get hold of tickets otherwise not available is to purchase through a consolidator. These agents buy up blocks of seats from the theatres well in advance and bundle them with discounted hotels.
The is a large choice of hotels from the most frugal to 5 star luxury.
