The musical itself is beautiful. You get caught by the costumes, music, dances and scenery. The theater however is not the most comfortable, especially if like me you have reduced mobility after knee surgery. I can walk alone with a crutch, so I didn't say anything when they gave us seats that same day. To my surprise, I had to walk up 3 flights of stairs, they have no assistance whatsoever. I saw 3 other people with crutches having a hard time going up and then coming down. When I asked about adaptations I was told that they only have a few seats adapted on the first floor, which you have to take in advance. It's lack of conscience, unfortunate for a musical to see with the family.

An exceptional musical! To go with the family. Exciting from beginning to end. All the characters were incredible! Timon and Pumba were the highlight, along with the Bird!!!!! The musical band was fabulous! They made you feel the music and their joy. I have fallen in love with the musical. It would be great if they think about touring Spain and come to Malaga!!!! I would love for everyone to be able to experience this beautiful work!!!! Thank you for the SHOW!!!!

It was a magical experience that no one should miss. The acting of the children and all the other actors is magnificent, as well as their voices. In addition, it is clear that they take perfect care of every detail on stage. I would definitely come back to see it another time.
