If The Lion King is coming to your city and you have a chance to go, go. I truly enjoyed the performance and would recommend it to anyone. The actors, along with the costume designers, prop designers and choreographers, succeeded in bringing a two-deminsional animated cartoon to a three-dimensional, real-life Broadway stage. The costume designers produced the life-like costumes and match the movie exactly. Running Time: 2hr 45min (1 intermission) Dates: Opening Night: JFinal Performance: JLocation: Fabulous Fox Theatre, London View Map You Might Also Like Musical Moulin. Even though the actors in the musical were different than the actors in the movie, they capture the mannerisms and personality of the characters from the movie without fail. With the popularity of the movie and its sequels, I think people would be disappointed if they came to see the musical and the characters were not the same. And without fail, the actors portrayed Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, Zazu and the rest of the crew were a mirror image of the movie which is not a bad thing. Having seen the animated movie several times, I had in my mind how I thought the performance would flow. I am sure that a team of talented and dedicated choreographers worked countless hours to make it look effortless and graceful.

I wondered prior to the show how the animals would be life-like but they greatly succeeded in this task.

The actors maneuvered throughout the stage with ease and they brought the animals to life with an amazing skill of hand and leg movements. The life-size and life-like animals brought an added dimension to the performance, transporting me from the theater to the Pride Lands.
