Advantages: Breath-taking, beautiful and cleverly put together

Disadvantages: none!

This is the single most spectacular production I have ever seen, and if you haven't seen it yet, you MUST go soon!!

It begins with a multitude of animals emerging from the back of the theatre and walking in a procession along each side of the audience and on to the stage. These animals are all fantastic actors, including small children, dressed as giraffrs, lions, zebras and even a full size elephant! This actually brought a tear to my eye, and this was right at the beginning!

The costumes are very artistic and much cleverer than I was expecting, some giving an impression of the style and movement of the animal rather than a lifelike costume.

The whole production was jaw-dropping and astounding, the way the actors captured the essence of the animals was magnificent.

Throughout the show was the most beautifully sung music, a real taste of Africa which I bought on CD afterwards.

This is a real must for any Lion King fan, but I want to point out that although kids will love it, it is much more than an enactment of the film.

I honestly never wanted it to end, it was so full of surprises (which I won't give them all away as it might spoil it) and beauty.

PLEASE go and see it, you wont regret it! I can't wait to see it again!

Summary: See it, its amazing
