In summary: 2 hours 30 minutes total. Act one: 75 minutes. Interval: 20 minutes. Act two: 75 minutes. It’s the Goldilocks of theatre timings—not too short, not too long, just right. You can catch a 7 pm show, grab a post-show snack at 9:30 pm, and still be in bed by a reasonable hour. It’s practically a responsible adult outing.
Next time a mate asks, “How long is The Lion King at the Lyceum?” you’ll sound like a pro. You’ll casually say, “Just under two and a half hours, with a lovely break. Perfect for a Tuesday night.” And they’ll nod, impressed by your theatre wisdom. Then you can both argue about whether the hyenas were actually the heroes. Go on, treat yourself. The time flies when you’re watching puppets make you cry.
