| - MAGICAL!
I felt all sorts of emotions while watching this. I was so excited to watch this, after so many recommendations! especially since i didn't get to watch it on broadway.
The opening was delightful, I just felt a gush of giddiness while watching all the animals opened the act. The costumes were spectacular! So creative, so much detail and so unique. From the stilts to the half cheetah half woman...looked a bit like doggystyle. ANYWAYS. All the animal dancing to the groove, especially the rhino and elephants.
And of course their flagship songs. Circle of life, can you feel the love. All full of emotion, and hakuna matata was light and uplifting. As a kid, I was honestly not a big fan of lion king because it was too sad, but now that I'm an adult, I'm ready to embrace the sadness of the storyline. I was still sad at those parts. But the musical quickly lifted up my spirits.
Young simba was full of energy. Mufasa was exactly how you would picture him, so proud and respectable. Scar was detestable the hyenas were so creepy and annoying, pumbaa and timon were so lively and hilarious.
The singing was of course, nothing short of amazing. Although I did not find nala's voice that appealing, but it had a very unique style to it.
The set was stunning and enchanting. The moving grass, the puppetry, everything added distinctive touch to it. Everything was brilliantly executed!
Definitely watch the show! I got pretty good seats. Towards the back of center stage. There's no balcony. I think any farther I wouldn't have enjoyed the show as much.
Tip: try to find discounts? When I got the tickets, it was $88+15 for B sections! pretty good!
