The show has been seen and enjoyed by a quarter of a million people on its nineteen-week tour which ended triumphantly this month in Bristol where it was described as ‘a must-see production - an exceptional re-imagining of a treasured story to bewitch and beguile the whole family.’
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - starring Samantha Womack as the evil White Witch - will begin performances on 18 July 2022 and play a strictly limited season through until 8 January 2023.

Is there a playlist with the track pieces from the show? I have seen the musical, and now just crave to hear once again those songs...
This is why I'm here! I went to see the show a second time because I love the music so much. I really hope they can release a recording to buy or stream!
@@bladepantheraI’m also here for that lol tried googling the lion walks or even shazaming this trailer
@@ThedocwillsMe too! I love Mr. Tumnus’ song but I couldn’t find it on Spotify!!
I protest they need their playlist
went to see it, oh my god! best piece of theatre ive ever seen! the music, the lighting, the voices!!
Went yesterday with my family.
Absolutely blown away! Fantastic show!
Absolutely loved it, can someone PLEASE tell me where I can buy the songs
It is a very interesting piece of theatre
I saw this premiere, and you should definitely see it!!!
Not Morticia kicking Wednesday out of her theatre 😭(Iykyk). Anyways, looks interesting!
I went there as a school Trip it was the best experience
Saw this on tour really great use of the medium of theatre.
It's absolutely stunning! I've seen it 5 times on tour and look forward to another chance to visit Narnia via London.
Whats the name of the song in the video
Welcome to the future of British Entertainment, and you're welcome to it.!!!!
I watched this today
Saw this last night and loved it. What a great show. During the standing ovation, the actress playing Lucy wouldnt crack a smile and looked ecstatic to leave the stage. Only thing that marred my enjoyment of it, as the rest of the cast were all so happy that the audience had loved it so much.
Is it a musical?
@@chaliadena727 yes
@@chaliadena727 not really. Its more a theatre with abt 5 songs thrown in. Most of the story is told as a theatre. Its beautiful!
Maybe she had a bad day. Like you say she still gave a cracking performance
Looks stunning
This kinda reminds of Harry Potter and the cursed child mix with so many musical
Who wrote the book? I performed the show with a community theatre group last summer and that one was written by Jules Tasca, but this trailer doesn't sound like that anything from that version.
C S Lewis
Clearly you’re not a theatre person. 🤨 When I said book I meant the script for the 2022 stage adaptation, not the novel that it’s based on.
@@courtneyozog3675 calm ya self they did not know
@@courtneyozog3675 calm down Courtney.
It's a shame they focused more on the dark scenes than the actual scenes involving Aslan winning over death, which is meant to be the main point.
Also, when the evil wolf turned up with a Batman mask and parkour stilts, I had to get a drink 😂

I watched this and I have to say I was dissapointed. If you've got the time and spare funds - sure, entertain yourself: there is certainly a magical moment, however I think what was missing for me was the stage setting - there is none, it felt very vague and ungrounded; not like a story was being told.
The writing also leaves certain points unexplained that if didn't know the story I'd have to make assumptions to fill in the blanks.
Also, the animal costumes are not very immersive at all - including the most important of them all: Aslan. The rest of them just looked like plumbers with Russian hats on.
Maybe my expectations were too high since I watched the movie growing up, but I've been to other musicals with film adaptations and I've never left feeling dissapointed.
I felt completely the opposite regarding staging, I thought it was magical. I loved how the musicians were incorporated into the characters. The costumes were kind of 1940s animal steam punk. So clever! The puppetry was spectacular. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. It is so interesting how different people can have such different experiences from the same show
Watched it yesterday and it wasn't worth it. The acting of the some characters is good and the stage design was stunning. Visually they got a lot of things right except the ugly lion. The wolf design was chilling and cool and transitions were all planned out well. The music however was disappointing. Lyrics was meh and the score was not impressive. The story is paced poorly and conclusion was abrupt and drew a WTF reaction from the crowd. The lines were cheesy and the characters were shallow. I really wish I would like it but after seeing so many good shows in London this one was a massive letdown.
What other shows would you recommend? I’m in London and I’ve seen a few but I’d like to see a few more before I leave.
@@miluskab4390 Hamilton and Harry Potters are both worth making a detour, Agatha Christie's shows are not on broadway yet AFAIK, and the other classics are all well-produced. It is usually the newer shows/niche shows that haven't stood the test of time(yet) that you really need to read the reviews on.
It could more accurately be called "The Lion KING, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
One factor that would bother me slightly - the musical style combines Celtic folk music and African pop, and is thus wildly anachronistic for the period in which it's set. The closest thing at the time would have been early jazz, which sounds very different.
Yes, except it's actually set in a fictional fairytale land for pretty much the entire story isn't it?
Celtic folk mixed with African pop sounds pretty good. Gets the fairytale vibes with the powerful nature of Aslan.
