Last week, The Lion King kicked off its huge run at Manchester’s Palace Theatre , and has today announced that it will be extended for another three weeks, running from October to March. It means theatre goers will have a whopping 19 weeks to catch the show.
Originally the production of the Disney classic was to run from October 27 to February 19, but it will remain in the city centre until March 11, due to ‘phenomenal demand’.
Already the season has sold over 200,000 tickets for initial weeks of performances, and now, more tickets will be released for the new dates. Priority tickets for the extension will be available from 10am Tuesday, November 1, with general sale starting at 10am on Wednesday, November 2.
