We had great seats. The performance was great. The costumes, the set, and the music were all amazing. This show is great for all ages. The play is very similar to The Lion King cartoon with some adjustments to keep it current.

"Amazing Performance"
April 2016
This is highly recommended for all ages. The costumes in the show are so creative and each actors character seems to fit their personality. The Lion King cartoon and this play are very similar, but it's still a tear jerker when Mufasa dies... The theater check-in was really easy with Reserve Direct E-ticket. The ushers are very helpful with getting you to your seats. One person in our group left their phone after the show and the theater had it waiting for us to pick-up the next day.

Wow!!!! We absolutely loved The Lion King, just spectacular! We attended as a family; my husband and I- and our two boys ages 14 and 11. From the very first moment when the singing begins, you are instantly drawn in. Costumes are amazing and you truly believe you are transported to Africa and are amongst real animals. The actors/actresses are superb, dancing and singing is outstanding. The stage and backdrops/scenery/effects are beautifully done.... it is just magnificent! The whole experience was wonderful- the theater, all the staff, everything was just perfect. Can’t recommend enough, we all loved it!

Took my 6 year old granddaughter and other family members to see the show for the first time, was not disappointed. The costumes, music, actresses and actors, dancing etc. were all excellent. Though pricey, seating on the main floor in front of the balcony overhang was well worth it. The make-up and facial expressions of the cast members was easy to see, truly amazing. If you like the movie and music you will love the stage play. This show is enjoyable for both children and adults.
