A boost for The Lion King. I like the idea of letting the pool steer me away from the same familiar choices.

Darragh, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

The Lion King is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Ciaran, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering The Lion King: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
