Wonderful! I went in with high expectations, and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommended. Everything is impressive: the music, the staging, the costumes, the acoustics... There were humorous touches and moments of laughter I wasn’t expecting, and they were perfectly integrated. It’s suitable for all audiences—my 10-year-old daughter left just as delighted as I was. In the sample photos of the stage shown when buying tickets online, it looks like the stage is farther away than it actually is. It’s not a very large theater, and the ceiling is quite high. That said, if you end up sitting behind tall people in the front row, you’ll have to duck a bit to see over their heads.

We went as a family and bought the cheapest tickets. When we arrived, they told us they had an upgrade available, so for a total of 57 per ticket, we got seats that were normally 122 per ticket. Wonderful staging, musicians—everything... great, incredible

The production was amazing. The costumes were incredible. The actors really learned the animals of the lion king and had every small detail right and there was a lot of humor. Each character was important
