The theater is great, costumes, music, decor, but those extra lines they added in. Its like if they are going to take like 90% of their dialogue from the movie, try to stick to it....but occasionally they'll add some tid bits that don't apply or just throw it off.
Sorry, i'm sensitive when it comes to Lion King (no shame in admitting that's my favorite all time Disney movie) and its ok when you add random banter and modernized language, but adding 2 or 3 words to a dialogue that's away from the movie script is unacceptable.
On a nicer note, at least the musical doesn't show "SEX" in the stars when Simba is grown up and looks for the ghost of his father.
