| - Seriously disappointed. Saw it at 8pm on 3/13.
If you've seen the movie, don't waste your money. Over hyped and tried to be way too artsy fartsy. Seriously, there is a guys in a green suit connected to that weasel charator. Yes, I understand what they are trying to represent ,and that I'm suppose to ignore the guys, but really? I can't do it. The visuals just aren't spectacular enough for me to get past the cheesy props. Again, I understand these props are this way by design, but why? It looks stupid. One of those things I don't get, don't want to get, and kinda confused how others can get it.
Hate to tear down a kid, but the understudy who played simba was so annoying that I almost walked out. My 7yo daughter gave it a "it was so-so. I liked the movie more".
If your taste in musicals is similar to mine, save your money. Here is my musical bio:
Les Miserable - 3 stars. Pretty boring and expected too much.
Phantom of the Opera - 3.5 stars at the Pantages. Maybe a four, but the sound in there sucked.
Miss Saigon - 4-4.5 stars. Entertaining and visually stunning.
Wicked - 4.5-5 stars. Fun fun fun. What a great take on a classic story.
Ulalena (spelling???)- 4.5 stars. Maui story about the history of Hawaii. A lot of similarities to the Lion King, but different in that it didn't suck. The story has a guys playing the nose flute for heavens sake. Disgusting, but sounds incredible.
