The Lion King’s 5000th West End performance
Last week, I was invited to the Lyceum Theatre by Disney Theatrical to see the 5000th West End performance of The Lion King.
I’ve reviewed The Lion King before on the blog, so nothing else to add there. Once again, though, the main reason for my being there at all was to take photos for The Stage’s party page. Some will be in print in Thursday’s issue, but a selection are below.
Some of the backstage crew: Joseph Beagley, Kathryn Thompson, Carl Darling, Natalie Reader, Emilie Spieler, Rowena Hunter and Paul Corfield
Lyricist Sir Tim Rice with Disney Theatrical’s Fiona Thomas
Cast members Thulisile Thusi and Azola Dlamini
Cast members Yolanda Burke, Curtis Lee Scott and Momo Yeung
Lyricist Sir Tim Rice with Andile Gumbi (Adult Simba) and Ava Brennan (Adult Nala)
