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!!!!

An absolutely wonderful performance — phenomenal acting, and truly masterful costumes and stage design. I have never seen a better show in my life! In my opinion, it’s definitely worth seeing again — and probably even more than once. The theater was completely full, which only shows how much people love this spectacular production
