I was prepared to be wowed at the Lion King musical. The experience was alright. The stage set was smaller than expected. The venue was a crowd hazard with insufficient walking space and felt unsafe.

We really enjoyed the direction of the play. And we saw a wonderful visual display: costumes, lighting, and sets. And we heard a wonderful orchestra performance. We are thrilled and would especially like to thank the actors for their acting skills, grace, and for the passion with which they inhabited their roles. We would like to thank the director for both the superfine jokes and for the moments that moved us. But we are surprised by the audience's culture. About the fact that one can eat in the theatre, can rustle packaging. If the theatre did not offer snacks, as well as asked the audience to enjoy the art and forget about cheap gastric delights, then it would not be done. In our native country, Latvia, we do not eat in the theatre, opera, ballet, and dance performances. Our audience is as quiet as possible, and we fully immerse ourselves in the performance. Every actor's performance is a celebration for us, so we dress up for the theatre and opera. And, what is very important, we pick up our rubbish after ourselves. And we don't have monitors for this, we simply observe cleanliness. Most importantly, a big thank you for the beautiful performance and for the work of the actors and the show's team! We truly enjoyed the wonderful show in your beautiful city!
