Scenery, Story Line, Music & Costumes Were Great!!
Go see it! Visuals are breathtaking, singing is excellent, the acting and scenework is captivating, and Llana pulls of a performance for the ages!
Great show! Amazing orchestra and cast! Everyone performed very well! The interim was enough time to use the restroom. Unfortunately, the line to the only concession stand was too long, so we couldn't get drinks.
The second act performance for the British dignitary was entirely too long. The singing and dancing could have been cut down to 1/4 of the time. You lost the audience. They could have added a short dance singing sequence with the children at about 3-5 minutes after cutting the LONG adult performance. Other than that issue - the play was wonderful.
I was able to meet up with my Daughter, who now lives in Florida, for an unforgettable night in Chicago, at the theater. What a show! From the ornate luxury of the venue to the extravagant and awesome stage props, this show has it all. Tears, laughter, Rodgers and Hammerstein music... spectacular! Do yourself and a loved one a favor, go see this show before it leaves. The Leads are amazing and Lady Thiang's voice is still echoing in my head. Costumes and choreography were spot on. King was so personable and had great facial expression... and sang very well. Things that Yul Brynner lacked.
This classic was gave credit to the original. I enjoyed every minute.
wonderful ul play great singing and acting glad we went
I would pay to see this again! The singing was amazing!
Great performances by all actors, dancing and scenery beautiful
