The Lion King

About this experience

The Lion King Madrid Tickets at Teatro Lope de Vega Book The Lion King Madrid tickets and see Disney's award-winning musical at Teatro Lope de Vega, on Gran Vía in the heart of the city's theatre district. Madrid's production, El Rey León, has played here since October 2011 and has become one of the longest-running and most popular shows in Spain. It is performed in Spanish, with the original songs by Elton John and Tim Rice and the African-inspired music that makes the score instantly recognisable even if you do not speak the language. The story follows Simba, a young lion cub who must face his fears and his uncle Scar to take his place as king of the Pride Lands. Julie Taymor's staging tells it through hand-crafted masks, life-size puppets and huge moving scenery, from the giraffes and elephants that walk down the aisles in "Circle of Life" to the stampede and the final return to Pride Rock. What to Expect at The Lion King Madrid The show lasts about 2 hours 45 minutes, including a 20-minute interval. Performances usually run from Tuesday to Sunday, with evening shows and weekend matinees; pick your date and time when you book. Your ticket is for a seat chosen on the seating plan, so you know where you will sit before you pay. Because the show is in Spanish, it helps to know the story before you go. Most visitors find the music, dance and puppetry carry the evening on their own, and songs such as "Hakuna Matata" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are easy to follow in any language. Strobe lighting is used at several points in the performance. The Lion King Madrid Age Guidance and Rules The minimum recommended age is 7. Children under 4 are not admitted to the theatre, and every child needs their own ticket whatever their age. Under-16s must be with a responsible adult, and the theatre suggests that children sit in boxes or side-aisle seats in case you need to step out. Dress is smart casual, and a light layer is useful because the auditorium is air-conditioned. Doors open before the show; arrive about 30 minutes early so you have time to find your seat, as latecomers are only seated when the staff allow it.

The nearest metro stations are Plaza de España, Santo Domingo and Callao, all a few minutes on foot.
