AMAZING

I am at a loss for words; everything was so impressive! The costumes were so original & made the characters believable. The actors were excellent at acting, singing, dancing; the animal ones moved like real ones. Some actors represented plants. The music suited the mood. When the actors move through the aisles, I feel like I am in the jungle with them, also when the birds fly towards the audience. The Saenger Theatre is so beautiful, it is entertaining just to view the theatre. Seats were comfortable.

THE LION KING, PORTLAND, OR.

My family saw The Lion King last night and it was truly spectacular. Although just a play, it brought back so many memories and feelings from our trip to Kenya and Tanzania last year. When I saw the elephant walk down the aisle, I got tears in my eyes. The singing, music and costumes are astounding and creativity is off the charts! I loved it so much and I think you will too! Please don’t miss it. The performers are so talented, to say the least. Thank you!!!

AMAZING SHOW

My wife went to see this show last year on Broadway and when we had the oppurtunity to see it here she said we had to go. I was glad she recommended this and made me go see it. Great audience engagement and visually stunning costumes.

AWESOME SHOW! HECKLERS SHOULD BE

Bought tickets for our son and his wife. They loved it. Only really bad downside? The people behind them critiqued the show, loudly, against the movie. Where were the ushers? We attended last friday, and hoped they would be as thrilled as we were. It was a totally awesome performance..music, sets, costumes and enthusiasm ! Maybe a reminder? Or closer watch on detractorsI? I was disappointed for them.

AWESOME SHOW! HECKLERS NEED "SCAR" TREATMENT!

Not an anonymous review. We bought tickets for our son and his wife for last night. ( May 24th ). We saw the performance last friday and were totally thrilled with it. The sets, the performers, the music and costumes. The Enthusiasm was contagious...even the conductor was singing! Our son and his wife loved the show too. The downside? The loud people behind them, complaining loudly, everytime the performance didn't match the movie! REALLY? Where were the ushers? Maybe a reminder (which shouldn't be needed) to respect other theater goers? I was really disappointed for them. My son did finally lose patience, and got them quiet...but...it wasn't his job.
