  • Can’t miss this show

    by Margaret B on 12/13/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    This is a great show to take kids to. Not a bad seat in the house. The set and costumes were fabulous as was the dancing and blocking throughout. Actors and cast top notch

  • Amazing! great creativity

    by Nita on 12/13/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    From the beginning of the play, there was amazement. The props, movement of the actors, stage settings, music, the beat of the drums. OMG! The Lion King is definitely a must see play.

  • Could be better

    by Red on 12/13/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    I have seen Lion King over 12 years ago and it was wonderful! This production was just ok. The theater was too warm . The sound quality was soft and not heard in balcony seating. Cadillac theater is too small for this production and seemed that it was lacking in the various animals.

  • Unbelievable

    by Great Great Grandma on 12/13/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    The Cadillac Palace Theater was beyond accommodating for my husband who must use a walker and my entire family. The elevator operator maintained social distancing both coming and going. The Lion King was far beyond my expectations; the costumes, the animal creations, the music, the dancing. WOW. I actually felt like I was seeing prides of lions and hyena, giraffes and other animals. I escaped into the production. Although I was not on the main floor, I had a panoramic view from my middle balcony seats of the upstage and rear activities of the performers, EXCELLENT. Should the production return, I will go again with my family, I am a great grandma and there were four generations of us there.

  • Great show!

    Saw The Lion King at the Cadillac palace theater in Chicago. Both the show and the venue were awesome! Took my 5 year old granddaughter and she loved it! Our seats in the DRCLC ROW A were amazing!

  • Best Ever!!

    I love Lion King. Third time seeing play. It is lively, and highly entertaining. I brought an 8 year old.This was his first time at a play. He could not have been more excited and engaged. This play continues to thrill.

  • Excellent show!

    by MRI on 12/12/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    Took my 13 year old goddaughterr, and younger brother to see their first play ever. It was joyful seeing them at the edge of their seat, full of joy watching every scene and waiting anxiously for the second act to start. We the grown ups enjoyed it just as much. The only draw back is the theater's sitting isn't short people and kids friendly. The view is limited to the space left in between the 2 people sitting in front of you, and the people sitting in front of them.

    The best broadway show ever! If you get an opportunity recommend to go see ‘The Lion King’.

  • It was okay.

    by Charice on 12/11/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    I expected more from this show. I hear that it was 10X better years ago. I wanted it to reflect the Lion King I know. There were a lot of new songs that I wish I was familiar with. Couldn’t understand some of the dialogue. Some The cast seems really small. The animals and effects were not grand. I loved younger and older Simba. I loved the hyenas. I loved Scar. I loved Timon and Pumba.

  • A Wonderful Performance

    by Bonds on 12/11/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    The lion king is Breath taking Performance. The seating in the theater is the best seats in the house no matter where you’re sitting. The parking arrangement was within walking distance right across the street in a parking garage. Very affordable.

  • Amazing!

  • Inconsiderate organizers

    by Hb on 12/10/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 1 out of 5

    I suprised my wife for our anniversary and the venue in return suprised me by seating us in the middle of an elementary school feild trip. Over 100 kids in one section and my wife and I are the only adults seated there. Nonstop talking, arguing, standing up, phone usage. We left early because it became impossoble to see and hear. I reached out to ticketmaster but they refuse to give any kind of refund.

    I found the performance to be an experience everyone should have. The music, the characters, the costumes were all worth every moment and every penny spent in the theater. My wife and I are looking forward to our next visit!!!

  • Average at best

    by Kmk on 12/10/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5

    Not sure if they were having audio issues but the night I went to the production it was lack luster. The vocals were subdued and many times my entire party could even make out what words were being sung. I’ve see. This production twice prior (in the mid 2000s and in 2017) and this one didn’t live up to expectations.

  • A MUST SEE

    by Ivegotsoul on 12/10/22Cadillac Palace - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    I knew it was going to be a great show but I was blown away. The majestic designs and usage of the full venue to tell the story. Everyone was literally in harmony. You have to see this show. It was packed at 2pm on a Wednesday and rightfully so.

  • the performance was outstanding, everyone should see it
