ATMOSPHERE CLASSY AND FUN

The atmosphere is fun because you and everyone around you already have something in common. Not just that you're there to watch a play, not just that you're in a theater and are dressed nice, but that you and everyone there share a love for The Lion King. You all are embarking in a new adventure that you have already shared. Everyone is excited and laughing and anticipating what's in store. You can feel it in the air and once the lights go off and the curtains go up everyone becomes silent; IT'S SHOWTIME!

PLAY SUMMARY SURPRISES AROUND EVERY CORNER...LITERALLY

The play starts off with the cast dressed as animals. With different animal headpieces, wings, and there was even a person on stilts (the giraffe). Antelope were skipping across the auditorium,  birds fluttering above the audience, elephants stomping around, cheetahs and my personal favorite a huge giraffe! Every animal in Africa that you think of was out there! All of these animals were coming from different entrances of the auditorium going towards the stage.  This was the highlight of the entire performance because it was so unexpected and unbelievable that I was experiencing something so beautiful in a play. Tears literally came from my eyes while watching this... it was simply remarkable! 
Now don't get me wrong the beginning scene was my favorite part of the play but the rest of the play was right behind it. With the richness of all of the characters voices and the body movements of all the actors you would swear you were watching real drama that was going on in the animal kingdom. All of the actors enveloped their characters and brought forth a  whole new perspective on what a play could do. This play has everything you could think of: beautiful costumes, wonderful actors, unthinkable scenery, and everything else you could think of. Everyone should get a chance to experience something Newsday called "A jaw-dropping magnificent spectacle".
