Our seats in orchestra and in balcony were great. The cast was awesome! The puppetry unforgettable! The music and entrances through the audience exciting.
Cast and costumes were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
Stuff are friendly and always accommodating people needs help great experience as always It’s just the restroom time is a chaos’s during break time line is always long 15 min break kinda short for ladies needs to use the restroom due to the long line but all and all All good.
5-star production! My kids (5, 9, 13) totally loved the show; dancing and clapping all the way through the show. the costumes and way the actors moved in them brought the different characters to life. A must see for the whole family!
There are really no words to describe this show and it's cast. You absolutely MUST SEE this show.
The actors, acting and costumes were superb. I really enjoyed following the plot.
The music score is the best part of the entire show, of course. Performers were great and the costumes were really creative. I have only 2 areas that I would say could have been better. That was not the best venue in Chicago for this show, in my opinion. My mother was on the 2nd row, left on the orchestra level and she couldn't see Mufasa lying on the stage. The stage is too high for that part to be seen, however the sound is good there. I sat on the right, dress circle, and I could never see the far right of the stage and while I could hear the music clearly, I could not hear the vocalists clearly. So the sound needs some work. Overall good show, however, a different venue would have made it more enjoyable.
E-ticket check-in was fast and efficient. The sound level of the production was such that the lyrics could be understood and the volume was not an assault on our ears. Our 6 y.o. Grand-daughter was mesmerized by all of the color, rhythms, and costumes; she wants to see it again!
The actors in costume walking down the aisles! Amazing for children to see! Visual effects, amazing!
I could barely catch my breath from the opening number. The whole show was filled with such artistry. Truly a magical experience!! Highly recommend!
Everyone has seen Lion King at one time or another, but the experience was just magnificent. The stage the background decor, the costumes, as well as the great performers with the great singing. It is an breathtaking experience that needs to be seen Iwill always remember this.
Unbelievable! Cudos to the creators and staff of the Lion King! I enjoy every minute of the musical, will go to see it again, next time they are in town.
The Lion King perfomance was an exquisite spectacle. The music, the singing, the costumes, the storyline were all done to perfection. It was beautiful!
The cast put on an excellent production!!! Best designs and costumes as well!
They did. Very good job on this show definitely worth the trip and the money! Only negative thing is at the Cadillac palace in Chicago if you are in the orchestra section all the way to the left we couldn’t see a good part of the stage, so we missed simba being born, and missed a couple things throughout the show.
It was a wonderful cast with perfect delivery. The songs new and classic all were delivered better than I could have imagined. We sat about 15 rows from the stage on the floor, but after seeing the show, I think any seat would be great. There was color and movement all around and the sounds filled the theater. To bad the show is leaving, Ill have to see it again somewhere else.
The costumes were fantastic!!! The actors were exceptional!!! Overall it was a fantastic experience!
Lion King was one of the best musicals we have seen. The music and costumes were unbelievable. Our only minor complain would be that sometimes the actors were hard to understand but it was better in the second act.
What a perfect Christmas present for our four grandchildren! Our upper loge seats were perfect as they looked down on the fabulous show! The cushions which were available for little ones allowed them to sit s but higher, which made their vision of the show perfect!
The Lion King...Janyary 11th, 2023. AMAZING PERFORMANCE. Great staff, very friendly. Clean, great time all around. We WILL be back.
