What a treat for our eyes and ears to discover *The Lion King*, brought to life by a wonderfully dedicated team. Kudos to all the actors, singers, dancers, and crew members who kept us captivated throughout these two and a half hours.

A magical experience... I loved the movie and Moulin Rouge! show reminded me of: freedom, beauty, truth and love :) Since the film premiered in 2001 I was a bit worried how it "grew old", but an amazing score brought the story up to date. Lady Gaga (and other songs) are a perfect fit and big congratulations to all the cast and crew, especially Satine, what an amazing voice. A magical experience, a magical evening, a magical show :)

We absolutely loved this performance of My Neighbour Totoro! The stage decorations, the beautiful music, and the incredibly talented actors were all truly amazing. The production was so immersive and well-done that, for a second, I genuinely thought there was a real Totoro right there on the stage! Most importantly, my kids were so happy and completely captivated from start to finish. I highly recommend this magical and unforgettable experience to any family.

Incredible atmosphere, acting, singing and above all, the puppeteering work blew me away. Incredibly fun show and made for a great family night out.

Very clever technology made the "live" appearance of ABBA believable (less so on the big screens of course) and the live band supported that realistic impression. The live atmosphere dropped a bit with the showing of videos in between. I understood the reasoning behind the brief flashback to Eurovision success but not the other (well made) animations. Overall good views and sound. Waiting area too cold pre-concert. Very enjoyable and glad we saw it but our ticket price was too high to repeat the experience another time. No photography permitted during the performance.

Amazing vocals and great set. With familiarity to the movies, there are quite a few younger children during the matinee shows. This can lead to some distractions, but overall a very enjoyable experience.
