We had a great time! The cast is excellent (talented actors, great singers and dancers) and the music (including live drums and percussions), decor and characters / animals are superb! I adore that they walk through the aisles at times - it makes it so exciting!!
Greatly enjoyed the innovation of the sets and costuming as well as how they aged the leads as they grew from children to adults. The talent was amazing. Detracting from the experience were the children kicking our seats constantly through the first half of the musical and their parents having a side chat throughout. Some people seem not to know, care, or follow theatre etiquette generally anymore. Reminders about being quiet, not kicking seats are needed.
Absolutely loved it-true to movie, actors and musical score were superb. Would definitely see again. So happy to have it crossed off my musical bucket list!
My kids ( 8 and 6) loved seeing the characters in the upper balconies and then coming down the isles at different times throughout the show. Start to finish a really fun telling of one of my kids' favourite movies in 'real' life.
Having seen quite a few musicals, this one was on my to see list! I cried during points with just sheer amazement in the cast, costumes and overall performance! I'm ranking this #2 on my list of Musicals I've seen!
I really enjoyed this show with my adult daughters, mother and sister! The costumes were amazing! The sets were fabulous and the actors excellent!! Beautiful outing!
One of my favourite Broadway show. Everything from musical casting, orchestration and animation of all jungle animals was fantastic.
The costumes and singers/actors, were phenomenal. Really great and top-notch. I found the storyline to be dragged out and not as exciting as I had hoped though. They did get a standing ovation, and well-deserved because nothing bad to say about the actors and costume designers.
This was one of the most amazing show I have seen. Thank you!
It was a fantastic show. So well interpreted. Well done to all who participated
