Lion King Sets Another Record For Ticket Sales In London
The Lion King musical has set a record for the highest takings in West End history for the second year in a row. The Disney production earned more than £34m in 2010, a greater sum than any other show had over a 12-month period in London, GL.
Disney’s award-winning production of Lion King smashed all previous West End box office records – including its own, set in 2009 – as it completed 2010 with two weeks of sold out performances.
In addition to being the top-selling West End production of the year, seen by over 820,000 people in 2010, the show also grossed over £34 million (an increase of £2 million on the previous year) – the highest annual box office of any show in West End history.
Over 9 million people have now seen it at the Lyceum Theatre.
