The actors on stage are fabulous! They make us feel as though we're actually there, witnessing the trial as if it were taking place in Agatha Christie's time!

Unforgettable from start to finish—the quality of the voices, the staging, the ingenious costumes, and especially the depiction of the herds of gazelles; the masks evoking the animals they represented; Simba and his friend’s transition from childhood to adulthood; the humor; the quality of the orchestra, and all in all, as I write this, I recall the “stereo” percussion in two boxes facing each other; it was better than excellent. It was a magnificent evening.

An amazing show. A classic which isn't getting old or out of fashion. The performance of all artists was amazing. Besides the costumes and stage decoration makes it perfect. My seat was perfect to watch the whole musical and miss out nothing. An memoriable experience.

This show was fantastic! First of all the theatre was beautiful, comfortable seats and loads of leg room. I had a full view of the stage from my seat so seen absolutely everything. The performance itself was spectacular and the songs were very catchy but if you are easily offended I would avoid this one!

It was amazing!! Everyone was so lively, spoke/sang clearly, the set was great and the costumes were so fun. Our middle daughter with special needs was terrified of the height that our seats were at and a staff member was so quick to help. They were able to find us closer sets that made her more comfortable quickly so we could enjoy the entire show. They were front and center with a great view and it wasn't an outrageous extra amount to pay compared to the joy that she was able to experience!

This show was fantastic! A true whodunnit with a genuine twist (which I have been bound to secrecy by the cast not to reveal). The performers were spectacular and the show had a numerous tone that I was not expecting. My seats were great from the stalls, even though I was up the back I was able to get a full view of the stage. No wonder the show has been running for 74 years!

This play is truly magical! The special effects and visuals are absolutely stunning. The acting, sets, and costumes completely immerse you in the Harry Potter universe. And it starts the moment you walk into the theater! It’s a beautiful show. I highly recommend it! If your English isn’t very strong (like mine), I recommend reading the script beforehand so you don’t miss any details.
