Disney's The Lion King was nothing short of extraordinary! Having grown up with such an iconic childhood film, seeing it brought to life on stage was an experience I will never forget. I was completely blown away by the creativity, imagination and incredible talent that went into every single aspect of this production. From the breathtaking costumes, intricate props and stunning backdrops to the lighting, music, singing and choreography, every detail was so beautifully thought out. What amazed me most was how they managed to bring animals to life through human performers. The way the cast used movement, costumes, puppetry and expression to portray the animals while telling such a familiar and emotional story was absolutely remarkable. The creativity and craftsmanship behind those designs deserve so much recognition. Whoever imagined and created them is incredibly talented! Even the musical production was fascinating. From the drummers and sound effects performed at the sides of the stage to the magnificent orchestra beneath it, everything worked together so seamlessly to create something truly magical. The stage design and special effects were unlike anything I have ever experienced. Pride Rock, the elephant graveyard, Simba appearing in the tree, every scene left me wondering how on earth they managed to bring it all together. But my absolute favourite moment was when Mufasa appeared in the sky. I genuinely cannot put into words how incredible that effect was. It was breathtaking and, without a doubt, one of the most extraordinary things I have ever witnessed in live theatre. The cast was phenomenal. The voices, personalities and mannerisms were so beautifully portrayed that at times it genuinely felt like watching the original characters from the film come to life. And the talent of the younger performers was just incredible! What makes this production so special is that it doesn't simply recreate a beloved Disney film. It transforms it into something entirely its own while preserving all the nostalgia, emotion and magic that made us fall in love with The Lion King in the first place. I walked away with an entirely new appreciation for theatre and the extraordinary people working both on stage and behind the scenes. The creativity, precision and sheer talent required to bring a production like this together is almost impossible to comprehend. An unforgettable experience that exceeded every expectation. If you ever have the opportunity to see The Lion King live, please do. It is something truly special, and I would see it again in a heartbeat!

A truly unforgettable, world-class theatrical experience! Wow! What an absolutely phenomenal performance of The Lion King! I was completely blown away from beginning to end. It was professional, breathtaking, captivating, and truly an overwhelming experience in the very best possible way. The puppeteering was extraordinary, the actors were phenomenal, the voices were incredible, and the singing was simply magnificent. Every element came together to create something truly magical. The talent, creativity, attention to detail, and sheer brilliance of the entire production were beyond anything I expected. I was captivated throughout the entire performance. It was one of those experiences that leaves you in awe and stays with you long after the curtain comes down. I cannot recommend The Lion King highly enough! If you have the opportunity to see this show, do yourself a favour and go. It is an absolute MUST-SEE and worth every moment. Five stars simply don’t seem enough!

Watching The Lion King musical with three generations of our family was truly an unforgettable experience. Sharing this magical production with my two grandchildren, my son, his wife, and GM made it even more special. The spectacular costumes, breathtaking stage design, powerful music, and incredible performances brought the African experience to life before our eyes. Beyond the visual splendour, the story touched our hearts with its timeless lessons about family, courage, love, responsibility, and the circle of life. What made the experience wonderful was seeing how one story could connect us all, regardless of age. For the grandchildren, it was a magical adventure; for the adults, a nostalgic reminder of life's deeper meanings. Most precious of all was creating beautiful family memories together, across three generations, that we will cherish forever.

The Lion King was absolutely AMAZING! 😍 The costumes, the music, the performers, EVERYTHING was just sooo incredible! You could feel the mana and wairua throughout the whole show. The story was brought to life in such a cool way, and the main characters were bloody amazing! My standouts were definitely the Hyenas — they were just something else! 🔥 But honestly, every single performer brought something special to the stage. The talent, the energy, the costumes, the music — next level! This show actually made me want to be up there on that stage performing too! 😂❤️ A true world-class production and such an unforgettable experience. If you get the chance to see it, DO IT! 🦁✨ My daughter and I had the best time. Thanks to our whanau for surprising us.

The theatre reminded me of my childhood going to the movies. I loved the decor and the atmosphere was awesome. Wow, the show was more than what I expected. The Lion King came out the year my son was born and it is still our absolute favourite movie and now my 2 grandsons love it too. I sat on an aisle seat and when the characters came down the aisle it felt like I was a part of the show. I loved the costumes and how each of the animals were designed. Unfortunately you were unable to use any cameras or mobile phones once the show started.

It was a wonderful night I took my granddaughter ranging from 2 , 5,7 and 11 years old and my daughter who have never seen a live performance before . The 2younget ones left half way think it was a little loud for them . But I can not express how the capital theatre staff looked after them in foyer brought out toys for them to play I'm also very happy with the cost and how easy this app was for ticket purchase and out seats where fantastic . I will be purchasing more tickets through there .

    Show costumes, set design, puppetry, songs & dance routines all outstanding. Sound very good in this theatre. Actors voice projection great. Seating has low rise so hard to see past people in rows in front when actors stay low in scenes on stage. Grab a booster seat cushion for littlies before entering doors as limited number available.
