Step into Narnia via the West End at The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Join the four Pevensie children as they discover a wider world that goes far beyond their wildest dreams in this fantasy play.
You may have read C. S. Lewis’s legendary Narnia tale as a child. But The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe play adds an extra sprinkle of theatre joy to bring mythical creatures like Aslan, the White Witch, and Mr. Tumnus to life. Whether you’re seeing the play in summer or in the winter months, every performance will feel like Christmas Day.
This production is a visual feast for the senses: cower beneath Aslan's mighty roar, or feel the bitter chill fall over the room as the White Witch makes her entrance. London Theatre gave The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe five stars, and praised the intimate qualities of a “magical, modern take on the Narnia story.”
The story still follows Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie as they’re evacuated to Aberdeenshire. While staying in their new home, Lucy discovers a new world that lies behind a wardrobe. Once Lucy convinces her siblings that Narnia exists, the foursome find themselves on an epic adventure to save the kingdom. Who will rule over Narnia: the White Witch, or the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve?
All is good once you’ve seen the Narnia tale on stage.
Be transported back to childhood or into a temporary state of wonder at the immersive and captivating theatre play in London. A cast of actor-musicians perform live music to give the show a folksy, calming quality. Plus, Toby Olié and Max Humphries's puppet direction and puppet design brings all the mythical characters to life. Quite simply, director Marianne Elliott and producer Chris Harper have delivered a production that is nothing short of magic.
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe premiered at Leeds Playhouse in 2017, and later played at the Bridge Theatre and on a national tour. Now, the Narnia play returns to London. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe runs at the Gillian Lynne Theatre for a limited engagement.
