A showing of The Lion King at the Bristol Hippodrome was stopped at the weekend by technical difficulties, a Hippodrome spokesperson has confirmed. Audiences were surprised when the show on Saturday, June 3, stopped mid-way through the performance.
The hugely successful stage adaptation of Disney's 1994 movie arrived at the Hippodrome back in May and has left audiences speechless and in awe of a beautiful and powerful show. But audiences on Saturday were left confused when the show drew to a halt part-way through.
One theatre-goer who was at Saturday's performance said the show was stopped for "25 minutes or so" before restarting where it left off. On asking one of the ushers what had happened, he was told the show had experienced "technical difficulties."
