    The Lion King

    by DancerDad on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    I took my daughter and her BFF and we all thought it was AMAZING!!! We would definitely see it again, maybe in Paris in August. The characters were spectacular and the production was very close to the original animation our daughter grew up on. The actors did a magnificent job with the characters and kept us entertained throughout. Everyone involved is to be applauded. Thanks for making our day!!

    Lion King was amazing

    by Superbee on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    I saw the Broadway production in New York when it first came out, this production was easily as good at that.

    Hakuna Matata

    by Troopaholic on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    From the opening sequence of "The Circle Of Life," to the closing battle between Simba and Scar, I was captivated. This musical blew me away, and I would recommend it to anyone whether you are 3 or 103.

    Lion King?

    by roofus on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Very dissapointed with the vocals of Simba. I was in the Mezzanine section and his range was very low. I thought with a powerful character you should have the voice to go with it. The orchestra drowned out the vocals of the cast which made it very hard to hear the words sung in many instances.

    superb

    by dw11 on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Lion king is in one word superb.. the only issue and that was minor that the children who adults sometimes insist on taking are too young at 4 years old to know that one does not talk continuously through the performance.. the play itself... wonderful..

    Lion King enjoyment

    by satisfied111 on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Thoroughly enjoyable, vivid colours, fantastic music, underlying humour for the adult, having the scene enter from behind the audience allowing the crowd to feel like part of the scene as well as enlarging the stage was a pleasant surprise

    amazing

    by d2mac on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Attended opening night with family. Both children (9 and 12) were AMAZED at the costumes and sets. The performers were outstanding - highlight for the youngest was the elephant coming down the isle. She was wide eyed and took it all in! Loved it and so will your family!

    Lion King ranks far and away #1

    by DartLady on 2010-07-16Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    My favourite performances until last night were Miss Saigon and The Phantom of the Opera (which I've seen twice), Last night's performance of The Lion King made both of these look like high school productions by comparison! The costuming and makeup were nothing short of amazing - with the mechanical integration of the performers human body parts absolute genius. It was difficult at first to reconcile the fact that human mouths were talking as the animated portion of the costumes was also being manipulated to replicate speech, but your brain soon accepts the melding to the point that you don't notice when the human face replaces the masks. Brenda Mhlongo (Rafiki) has the most powerful set of pipes I have heard outside the opera arena. She has the character down to a T and that wonderful voice makes it an unforgettable experience to behold. Kolton Stewart (young Simba) plays the part as an actor far beyond his young age. Ben Lipitz was born to play Pumbaa - and his sidekick Timon is aced by Nick Cordileone! Both my Mother and myself commented on the way out of the theatre that we would pay twice the price to be able to see it again the very next night.

    Lion King- Standing Ovation!!!

    by doop4 on 2010-07-15Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    This is a must see, especially for Disney fanatics and young children! Totally worth the 100 dollars. It's even better if you have a seat down in Orchestra because the ensemble come down through the audience aisles. This is the first time that I've seen a standing ovation in the WHOLE ROOM. Would definately recommend

    This is the second time I have seen the show and it was just as amazing! We took our kids (7yr old boy and girl) and they thought it was one of the best things they had ever seen. I highly recommend it for anyone.

    Lion King is a must see!

    by passenger on 2010-07-15Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    You've been waiting to go to a show and keep putting it off cause something else comes up, don't do it this time! Go see this show! It was everything I imagined and more. It was incredible, the costumes, the props, the mechanical animals, the sounds, the music, the cast in the play are so extraordinary they play their parts perfectly, I truly cannot say enough about this one, I see many shows a year and never review but this one deserves it and want to ensure anyone that has waited, not to wait anymore, do it now, book it now you won't be sorry! One of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen many. Our 14 year old son said he watched this show over 40 times as a kid and he truly could not pick which was his favorite the movie or play, he said they are both a must see! he even got the T-shirt!
