"Lion King - a dissapointment"

Agree that this version was a HUGE dissapointment. Singing ability of most of the stand-in's who made up the performance I saw was mediocre. AND.. .the worst part was that at the very opening number... as the Shaman preistess (who apparently plays Rafiki, from the movie) appears on-stage to belt out her opening notes... HER MICROPHONE WAS OFF!... NO excuse for that!! THEN the overall level of the music and spoken performances was far too low... I'm not hard of hearing... I appreciate a MUSICAL that's supposed to "carry you away"... but NOT when you have to "pay attention" to hear it. Lack-luster all around. Seen better mini-versions of this at Disney Theme parks and on their cruise line. What a rip-off to pay $100 per tix for this amature crap! Oh.. to the person below who complained about the character cracking jokes in a NY accent... have you SEEN THE MOVIE? That's "Timon"... the "wise cracking Meerkat" who was voiced by Nathan Lane. That's HOW that character sounds! Collapse

I was very disappointed in this "Disney Production" of Lion King. I had seen the original in NYC 9 years ago, and loved it! This modern version would have Disney (Walt) turning in his grave. Music was mediocre, and not recognizable for children; more than a few jokes about "farting", "gas", etc. One animal played the role of a NY comedian and cracked one liners with an accent in the second half. There were many adorable children in the audience; I doubt they could relate to this "song and dance" performance at all.It was like vaudeville--very shallow. I lost track of the storyline totally. One scene featured partially clad ballet artists swinging in the air doing awkward interpretations of physical love. Creepy. Not appealing. Would never recommend it! I felt no emotion and no bond with the characters. As Simon Cowell would say: "Forgettable" Collapse
