It was an excellent experience. I went with my 12 year old daughter and we both enjoyed it very much. From Venezuela to La Gran Via to see this great musical. Success

My brother and I were visiting Madrid for a few days from New York and spontaneously decided to see El Rey León on our first night in the city. We get to see lots of Broadway shows back home, but never thought we would get to see this musical in Español. "What a unique opportunity," we thought—and we were right! The Lion King was one of the first musicals we'd ever seen, having seen it on Broadway as small children, so to return to it in a different country and in an entirely different language instantly became a highlight of our trip. The best part is that I don't even speak Spanish, but it hardly made a difference for me; the show is such a dazzling spectacle and its timeless songs can tug at my heart strings no matter the language they're sung in. The audience even clapped along to "Hakuna Matata", which would never happen in a Broadway theatre unless solicited by the performers, but it added an additional, unexpected layer of joy to the show that further distinguished it from the Broadway production back home. Hakuna matata indeed!

I liked the professionalism of the actors and the organization of the costumes and the show. I didn't like the adult Simba actor, it seemed strange that he was light skinned and with a non-Spanish speaking accent ...
