There is simply nothing else like THE LION KING.
E-ticket check-in was fast and efficient. The sound level of the production was such that the lyrics could be understood and the volume was not an assault on our ears. Our 6 y.o. Grand-daughter was mesmerized by all of the color, rhythms, and costumes; she wants to see it again!
The actors in costume walking down the aisles! Amazing for children to see! Visual effects, amazing!
I could barely catch my breath from the opening number. The whole show was filled with such artistry. Truly a magical experience!! Highly recommend!
Everyone has seen Lion King at one time or another, but the experience was just magnificent. The stage the background decor, the costumes, as well as the great performers with the great singing. It is an breathtaking experience that needs to be seen Iwill always remember this.
Unbelievable! Cudos to the creators and staff of the Lion King! I enjoy every minute of the musical, will go to see it again, next time they are in town.
The Lion King perfomance was an exquisite spectacle. The music, the singing, the costumes, the storyline were all done to perfection. It was beautiful!
The cast put on an excellent production!!! Best designs and costumes as well!
They did. Very good job on this show definitely worth the trip and the money! Only negative thing is at the Cadillac palace in Chicago if you are in the orchestra section all the way to the left we couldn’t see a good part of the stage, so we missed simba being born, and missed a couple things throughout the show.
It was a wonderful cast with perfect delivery. The songs new and classic all were delivered better than I could have imagined. We sat about 15 rows from the stage on the floor, but after seeing the show, I think any seat would be great. There was color and movement all around and the sounds filled the theater. To bad the show is leaving, Ill have to see it again somewhere else.
The costumes were fantastic!!! The actors were exceptional!!! Overall it was a fantastic experience!
Lion King was one of the best musicals we have seen. The music and costumes were unbelievable. Our only minor complain would be that sometimes the actors were hard to understand but it was better in the second act.
What a perfect Christmas present for our four grandchildren! Our upper loge seats were perfect as they looked down on the fabulous show! The cushions which were available for little ones allowed them to sit s but higher, which made their vision of the show perfect!
The Lion King...Janyary 11th, 2023. AMAZING PERFORMANCE. Great staff, very friendly. Clean, great time all around. We WILL be back.
Thoroughly enjoyed the music and costumes, especially the animals. Would have liked the play to have focused on the song "Can You Feel the love" a little longer instead of blending it with the Reprise prior to the finale. ..
A must see performance! I would definitely go see The Lion King again! Absolute perfection by everyone in the cast. A beautiful memory with my daughter and granddaughter. The unfortunate things were the bathrooms, only one per room, such a long line. And so hot, no circulation in the Cadillac Palace Theatre. But like I said, the performance was to perfection! Unbelievable!
Took Carter my grandson & his parents to the afternoon performance. We all enjoyed the cast, production & music! I had taken my daughters to the original show 20+ years ago! This show was just as engaging and enjoyable!
Wow- what artistry! The costumes!! The backdrop! The music! We took my parents to celebrate my moms 80th birthday!! We all loved it and are still talking about it! Highly recommended!
I could not ask for a best cap to my friend’s birthday surprise. We had an excellent dinner and then we got treated to a VIP suite and front row seats to a classic performance.. what more could we ask for? VIP suite appetizers could be much better I guess. Presentation was so-so. And not really much of choices. But we were there for the performance- and tgat was great!
There is a reason the Lion King has been going strong over 25 years and packing in theaters nationwide. It is a great show with unbelievable costumes and a stage that brings the story to life. The singing, songs and acting are all top-notch. This is a highly recommended show for all ages.
I don’t ever write reviews but I just had to write a review. This was by far the best broadway or play or musical I have ever seen in my life. The music, costumes, makeup, the singing and the way the animals were portrayed was phenomenal. I didn’t want the show to end. Absolutely stunning. They did an amazing job and I would definitely see the show over and over. Especially for someone who watched the original movie growing up! A must see at least once in a lifetime!! Words can’t describe the show. Definitely will be going back when they return to Chicago!
