    Amazing….but

    by Fellow mama Lion on 11/22/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    Absolutely incredible! However, the stage was clearly TOO SMALL to accommodate such a huge production. Great use of aisles-kids loved seeing elephant walk right by them!!!

    Fabulous!

    by Patty G on 11/22/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    The puppets were amazing. The singing and dancing were incredible. Loved the live drums. Rafiki was marvelous. When the elephant came down the aisle, I lost it. This was the most enjoyable performance ever!

    Phenomenal Performances but…

    by Alicia D. on 11/22/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    What a magnificent show! The actors, the costumes, the stage set-up… all perfection! But why would you allow children under 10? There was so much chatter and movement that I (and several others) were so distracted. I understand that it’s a kids’ movie but this was a performance to be experienced and absorbed by adults. It’s off-broadway, folks… not a movie theater.

    Really hard to top!

    by Timbalionguy on 11/22/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    When The Lion King animated movie came out in 1994, I did not know that this movie/franchise would become a major factor in my life. Now, nearly 30 years later, I find myself to be a lionkeeper and a fan of anything lion related (except, as a native to Green Bay, Wisconsin, the Detroit Lions!). I first saw the Broadway show (On Broadway!) back in 1998, and it changed my entire perception of what a Broadway musical was. It also presented a fresh, stunning telling of this now classic tale. Counting the three times I just saw it in Reno, I have seen the show nine times now, and hope to see it at least nine more times before I, too go to join the Great Kings of the Past. I have seen stronger and weaker performances of this musical, and these were definitely among the stronger ones. I identify very strongly with Mufasa (and all of the male lions of which I have had the pleasure to work with have been Mufasas!), and I thought that Gerald Ramsey did a fine job in that role. I was lucky in one performance to have a good view of the actor's faces under the masks, and his facial expressions told me he was really trying to be what Mufasa embodies. But I think the really outstanding acting in these performances was by Mukelisiwe Goba playing Rafiki. It was great to see an actor who could speak fluent Zulu playing this role. I am involved in the Constructed Language community and now take an active interest in linguistics. Her mastery of this language added significantly to the performance of this challenging role. And could she sing! Rafiki has some of the most important singing parts in this story from instruction to priestly to utter anguish. She did all of them brilliantly! I will remember these three performances for many years to come, and it makes me anxious to see the show again, likely in some other city. For those of you who have never seen a Broadway show, or this particular show, I believe, as many others do, that the Lion King on Broadway redefines Broadway in a really amazing way and pushes the limit of what can be done with Theater. If you have never seen this show, definitely GO! And take your kids. There are not many Broadway shows that can be understood and appreciated by children. The Lion King on Broadway is a major exception.

    Outstanding Family Fun

    by Graminator of the year. on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    From Great-Grandma (78) to the youngest grandchild (6) we all had an amazing experience watching The Lion King. My favorite part was sneaking glances at everyone else’s faces while they watched the performance. I’m so glad I got the tickets for all of us to go, I’ve been declared “Graminator or the Year” because of it. Lol. The performances by the whole cast were outstanding. I highly recommend it.

    Great show, poor execution

    by Lionking1992 on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    I’ve seen this before (albeit 20 years ago in Los Angeles) and loved it and have raved about it ever since, so I was excited to hear it was coming nearby where I currently live. Not sure if the cast was just tired, it was toward the end of the tour at this location, or what but they lacked enthusiasm for the musical. The props and sets were outstanding, instrumental music, and the actress who played Rafiki were outstanding.

    Blocked view

    by Tad disappointed on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    When I purchase my ticket, there was no warning that I might have a blocked/limited view. I would have appreciated knowing at the time of purchase that I would not be able to see the whole stage. I probably would have chosen a different seat.

    Fantastic

    by Bajamama on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    This Broadway show was one of the best I have seen and I have seen many... the characters, the singing, the costumes, the special effects could not have been better. In addition, the venue at the GSR in Reno was excellent. They played to a Full House that was mesmerized by the performance. BRAVO!!!

    Sooooo great!

    by Sele on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    As a longtime Garth Fagan fan I had waited forever to get a chance to watch this show. It did not disappoint! I brought my 9 & 12 year old sons, my mom, and my husband. We all loved it. The creativity is unmatched.

    Amazing

    by Mama B on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    The costumes were truly Amazing, You lose yourself in the costume and the puppeteer becomes the character. My 5 year old Great Niece had so much fun and was glued to the show.

    Lion King a must see

    by NV Lynne on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    The traveling Broadway production of Lion King is everything I expected to see. Costumes were awesome, cast used the movement of the costumes and props to make a magical kingdom. I loved the hyenas with the moving heads that would look right at you and watching the starlit night sky turn into Mufasa. Scar had a marvelously sinister voice that you loved to hate. The orchestra's music and on-stage percussionists were as good as expected. Saw the musical at the GSR in Reno and can't ask for a better venue or acoustics.

    The Lion King!

    by Deb on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    What a great show! The set was amazing, the props were awesome, and the actors were fantastic. Good music too, and the actors could really sing. I don't usually do musicals, but this one was worth every penny. If you get the chance - GO!!!!

    *Incredible Broadway Show*

    by Senessa on 11/21/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    The Lion King is an incredible broadway show you will never forget. We loved all of the singing, dancing, and animals. The costumes including the animals, were so beautiful since they are handmade. We are so happy you came to Reno, Nevada! I would definitely recommend this show to all of our family and friends. Thank you for all of your hard work in giving us an amazing show of a life time.

    SPECTACULAR !!!

    by Phillko on 11/20/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    What a show! My wife and I were crying 5 seconds into the opening scene, it was overwhelming! The play stayed true to the original story with extraordinary costumes, breathtaking lighting and a cast unsurpassed in vocal talent. We were glued to our seats, pleasantly surprised when the last scene arrived...we cried through the closing scene as well...again overwhelming. The GSR did a great job hosting the event, everything flowed smoothly, nice venue.

    Absolutely loved the Lion King live production. The costumes and puppetry were stupendous! Hats off to all the actors, and loved the two children who played the young lions.

    I am still under its spell. . .

    by Beeline on 11/20/23Grand Sierra Resort and Casino - Reno

    Magnificent from start to finish: a perfect venue; great sound; not a bad seat in the house; amazing creativity in set design, staging, and costuming; singing and dancing abilities beyond compare--this was one of the best theater experiences of my life. I have told everyone I have talked to since the performance I attended that if they see only one more performance in their lives, they should make it this one. It is absolute magic! Thank you, GSR.
