Die Gesamtinszenierung und das langsam und deutlich gesprochen. Leider kein Kauf von Becher ohne Smoothie, Pause etwas kurz, schade dass aufgrund der Bauweise kein Eintritt durch den Haupteingang für Gäste aus dem Rang möglich war

Le spectacle est très bien et nous y avons pris du plaisir malgré le prix très très cher par rapport à la place occupée. Nous ne voyons qu'une partie de la scène qui était bouchée par les personnes devant nous.

My favourite part of the experience was the production. The stage, props, costuming, lighting etc..excellent. With regard to ticketing, I didn't know you *had* to open it in the Headout app. The email said "access your tickets faster offline with the Headout app", so I thought it was optional. When I got to the Lyceum Theatre and presented the confirmation email, I was asked to show the bar code for my ticket to be scanned. This left me confused because I didn't know what bar code the guy was talking about, but the other people I came with helped me and I was able to download the app, access the barcode and enter the building. Besides this little mishap, overall I think the ticketing process was very efficient. However, there's room for ambiguity to be cleared up so people know that they *must* download the Headout app to access their ticket (at least when seeing The Lion King) and don't end up like me :)
