As a non Spanish speaker it was just as thrilling with the exquisite songs and costumes. The audience was primarily families who were thoroughly entertained. Featuring a cast of predominantly African descent added to the atmosphere and their voices were magnificent. Cheers

A must-see show, with fantastic live music and excellent costumes and staging. All the animals are incredibly well portrayed, but my favorite was Timon. I highly recommend the whole show, and the temperature in the theater was very comfortable. I loved it!!

It was incredible from the very beginning—the staging, the entire flow of the show, the music, the songs, and, of course, all the actors and dancers—with a special mention for the vocal performances. Everything was perfect—I’d definitely go back.
