The show was spectacular and we enjoyed it very much, it was my husband first time to a Broadway show.
We loved every moment of the show! The play was nostalgic and sensational! We more excited than the kids in the audience. We will see this show again if it continues to tour.
The show in itself was spectacular. The costumes, singing, choreography and story alignment was on point. The only thing that would’ve made this a 5 star review would have been for the arts center to have a better speaker system. The musical number were fine but when they had dialogue, it was hard to hear. There were no speakers behind us and only in front of us. It didn’t make the experience full circle for us. Lots of kids obviously so their natural wiggles/noises made it harder to hear so had the speakers been behind us, it would have been better there to drown out the noise.
This is the 3rd time I have seen “The Lion King”!The performance was phenomenal- the cast was amazing- the set & costumes were incredible I started smiling as the curtain went up & never stopped smiling until the performance was over.
What an amazing show!! This was my 3rd time. Rafiki is literally the best! Bravo
Magnificent! I believe this word sums it all up. An incredible display of creativity, passion, and celebration.
It's was amazing...for adults it really speaks about what the circle of life is. For kids it is the importance of family and courage.
I've always wanted to see this show and it was amazing . What a wonderful production start to finish . The orchestra was amazing and everything was brought to life in a magical way . A must see !
Great artistry. Very good acting performance. Enjoyed the show. Could not hear the voices clearly at times due to being in the nose bleed section along with the audience background noises that created some distractions.
The show was amazing, the characters interacting with the audience, the music, the add libs of local fare and you can’t take your eyes off the stage, bravo bravo Lion King
