It's been years since I've seen the movie, but from what I remember this stage show does a fabulous job of translating the story and music to a live performance. The costumes alone are worth the ticket price. It's a visually stunning show that kept my son captivated throughout the entire performance. There were a couple parts that were a little slow, in my opinion, but other scenes more than made up for it. The two kids playing Simba and Nala were really cute and the performances by the three hyenas, Timon, and Pumbaa were very entertaining.
This show is great for anyone who enjoyed the cartoon and is one of the best shows on the strip for kids. If you're going to buy tickets check out the Tix4Tonight booths up and down the strip to get discounted prices. You'll be able to get them for a same day performance or sometimes for the night after. The theater is fairly small so there really isn't a bad seat in the house.
