Review of The Lion King Musical from 16 December 2011

Beautifully produced show and intricately detailed puppets, this show is great for the kids! I felt a little old there amongst the families and their young ’uns, but otherwise it was excellent, reminded me of how I felt when I watched Lion King the movie for the first time when I was 9.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 19 August 2011

Top top notch. Amazing in all respects. I went with my nearly 5 y/o son, and to see the look on his face during some of the more complex scenes – with a whole gaggle of amazing animals – put a lump in my throat. He hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Brilliant. Highly recommended.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 30 December 2010

Reviewed using Blackberry. Get the app

I went to see The Lion King with my mama in December 2010.
The things that stood out for me, were the different costumes, which were very intricate and detailed.

The set was very impressive and flowed well with the story.

The downside was that the actors, despite showing good puppetry skills, lacked charisma. Grown up Simba was whiny, and the kids were annoying. I felt they could have played Scar a bit more of a villain, but instead, it came across as a little pantomime.

Overall ok, but it made me a little restless.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 14 June 2010

This is one of the best musicals that I have had the pleasure to experience

Whilst the music is perhaps not as memorable as La Miserables or The Phantom there are nonetheless some memorable tunes

The costumes that the performers use are without compare, however the defining moment has to be Musafa's reappearance to Simba....that alone made it worth going to see!!!

Review of The Lion King Musical from 21 January 2010

I'm not sure why this one gets so many rave reviews.

I was in awe of the set design and costumes, but the actual performance was disappointing.

Why? The sounds system couldn't seem to cope when more than one person was singing at a time. The story moved too slowly for me (considering the movie is 90 minutes and the musical is 2.5 hours might have something to do with this). The songs weren't as well arranged as those used in the Disney movie (and as this is a Disney production I think it is fair to compare). At times the songs felt like filler songs and didn't seem to have any feeling behind them. At times I felt like I was at a child's performance rather than a professional musical.

I would recommend it as a good musical for a family to go to.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 26 August 2009

As a musical I hated the Lion King - the performers’ voices were not up to scratch compared to those in say, Les Mis - the songs from the original soundtrack are good (but again, not as powerful due to poor delivery), and the new songs are all boring and sound like filler songs.

However visually, and as a dance, it is a decent performance. Great props, passionate routines and great usage of the venue. I would suggest to go see it as a performance piece rather than an actual musical.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 26 June 2009

This is one of my favourite musicals i have ever seen. I’ve been twice now and i still can’t get over the fact that i had goosebumps throughout the whole thing. The stage, the actors and their amazing voices and costumes were all fabulous. What astonished me the most was how creative the production team had been, i was a bit dubious at first thinking it would be cheesy but i was so wrong, it was incredibly imaginative, moving, funny…everything and more. A truly wonderful theatre experience and one that i won’t forget.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 29 May 2009

My partner loves the story of The Lion King, and to be fair I think it’s less odd for him to feel that way, after all he is a South African!
A lot has been said here about this production, but there is a reason it has been going on for years- sheer quality entertainment.
The costumes are incredibly, the singing is superb, and the actors consistent. I was a little put off by the child Simba, he was far too aware of acting, rather than being the character. Also the hyenas were quite panto in places, and I think this is a story that doesn’t need that element.
Truly this is a night that you would never regret, or forget.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 28 May 2009

its no wonder this show has been running for such a long time. the puppet style animals are brilliantly portrayed by people in face paints and the child singers are very talented. i would recommend picking up cheap tickets for this show on sites like lastminute.com. make sure you go to it before it finally closes, if it ever does.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 27 May 2009

Fantastic musical! I especially recommend it to tourists/non-English speakers because, unlike other West End shows, you don’t need to be able to understand the storyline for it to still remain a spectacle. The amazing costumes, superb sets and brilliant voices will amaze even the non-musical goer, and the production is absolutely faultless and highly recommended!

Review of The Lion King Musical from 25 May 2009

This is a five star musical. It is true to the film whilst still being unique. The costumes are amazing and although the tickets are pricey they are definately worth it. The theatre is brilliant for this production and no matter where you sit you are guarenteed a good view. A fantastic show all round.

Review of The Lion King Musical from 17 January 2009

Was really looking forward to this after hearing amazing things from friends and shockingly…. my dad! I think with such high expectations it was always going to be difficult to live up to it. I enjoyed the show as a whole but was unimpressed compared to some of the other shows I’ve seen this year including Wicked and Les Miserables.

Worth watching but not all it’s cracked up to be!
