Green Lyceum

[devonian.t]

Apparently permission has been gained to paint the auditorium green as plans move forward to replace The Lion King with Tarzan!!!

W.T.F?

if this news is true i just got way to excited and so did my best friend!!!

[ClapYo'Hands]

But I just don't understand the thinking behind closing one of the biggest shows in the West End just to open another one which could easily be a flop.

[devonian.t]

I think it could still be a long way off.

From what I understand, Disney does it a lot in other parts of the world. Plus if after a couple of years it wasn't doing so well, they could just put Lion King back in.

I heard this about a couple of months ago, but dismissed it as a wind up, now I have heard the same from a different third party , this definitely gives the rumour a lot more veracity.

Personally I think Disney are mad, London already has one green mess and that down at Victoria.

[Musical-Matt]

personally i think there is other theatres tarzan could very well sit in but me and my 2 best friends are excited by any rumour of tarzam!!!

The Lion King has just celebrated 13 years and have every vision to run another 13 years. The Lyceum is valued home for the show and Disney, they wont take off/move Lion King for Tarzan.

As for green mess - I presume that meant Wicked?! The biggest show in the past two decades...? Or if you meant Shrek, bit harsh!

Shrek?

Strange news anyway, dont see the lion king going anywhere any time soon.

The Lion King is still a hit in London and is doing very well on tour so I can't imagine Disney closing it anytime soon.

[Nickhutson]

They can still paint it green for the lion king...

[Princeton Returns]

The Shaftesbury was looked at for Tarzan a few years ago so a London run has been considered for a while

[Nickhutson]

Maybe they will market it was Phil Collins' UK comeback!
