The show itself was amazing (Lion King), but the crowd dampened the experience alot. There were many kids under 5 around our seats and their constant talking, crying, eating, asking and playing distracted us from the show and almost ruined the whole experience. There were also many adults that were talking and taking photos with flash during the show, which was also disappointing. But the show and music was still amazing, but I wouldn't see it again, unless Broadway changes their policy surrounding children and are stricter with rules regarding filming the show.

The highlight of my visit was the extraordinary performance of the artists, especially: little Simba, also Rafiki with his wonderful voice, but above all, I was mesmerized by Nala, for her subtle, elegant and seductive way of moving around the stage. Incredible sound, voices, music and the recreation of the jungle. A 10 for this musical.

It is a very nice show, amazing for the magnificent representations of animals (I loved the giraffes), the bright colors, the nice and peculiar mix with the public. And what can I say... the great performances, the voices and songs, the musicians, in short.... all beautiful. Highly recommended. It will be a memory that will always remain in the retina.
