Add a review about the Theater "Liceum" in London

London Liteum Theater has been popular for many years, despite the fact that it shows only one play, or rather a musical. Every day, for more than 15 years, the musical "The Lion King" has been performing at this theater, and every performance has been gathering the hall.

The Litseum Theater was founded in 1765 as the residence of a classical troupe, and it was here that another famous English actor from among the founders of modern theater - David Garrick, glorified him to the whole world by the performance of Shakespeare's roles. Then the building was used as a circus, the residence of the Madame Tussauds Museum and the church, but then the classical theater returned with a short break to the music hall, variety and pantomime.

For some time he was the location of the Royal Opera, then became Shakespeare's theater, then closed, and even later it was turned first into a ballroom and then into a concert hall.

It is believed that the production of the Lion King at the Litseum Theater is one of the best examples of processing the film in a musical.

Program

The theater's great theatrical past is already forgotten and now he is mostly associated with entertainment. There were many different concerts, including Queen, The Who, Led Zeppelin, U2 and many others. Since 1999, the musical "King-Leo" has been shown here.

"The Lion King"

Like all musical theaters, here only one staging is shown at the same time . About the production itself it is worth to say separately . This musical - child . Beautiful adaptation, very beautiful and difficult made, with good actors, light and scenery . Selected songs from him have already left the musical and live their own lives . Special events are brought to the screen by actors who voiced the cartoon . @ It is believed that this production of the theater "Litseum" - one of the best examples of processing movie screenings conducting in a musical . If you want to go somewhere to go out with a child in the evening - it is better not to find an option .

Like it usually for children and adults alike. In style - this is a bright fairy tale with good music. Really a good option, in Russia it is problematic to find.

Usually there are 2 performances daily and evening. When planning, it is worth considering that the whole performance is aimed at children (including small ones) and family visits, in the auditorium and the hallways can be quite noisy.

Building

The building of the theater is included in the Sheet of national heritage of Britain. This building was erected in 1834, and decorated in the Rococo style even later. The famous portico of the theater - one of the London attractions - is also built later.
