Roy Berko, BroadwayWorld: South African, Gugwana Diamini, who has appeared in both stage and film versions of The Lion King, shines as the storytelling Rafiki. Ben Lipitz (Pumbaa, the warthog) and Nick Cordileone (Timon, the meerkat) delight. Their "Hakuna Matata" is a show highlight. Darian Sanders (Adult Simba) and Kayla Cyphers(Adult Nala) have ...
Bryan Stanton, BroadwayWorld: Young Simba and Young Nala played by Jaylen Lyndon Hunter and Nia Mulderwere a dynamic duo that kept the audience on their toes as only two young cubs can. We laughed, we were scared for them, we rejoiced when they were free from danger, and we mourned with Hunter. These young actors connected, I'm sure, with many pare...
AniKatrina Fageol, BroadwayWorld: The show's opener, The Circle of Life, immediately captivates the audience and pulls them right into the scene as we all gather at Pride Rock to honor the future King of the Pride lands. Adults immediately become children and children gasp with wonder as giant puppets and beautifully costumed actors come from the a...
Alex Miller, On Stage Colorado: There's not much I can say about this show that most don't already know, but as a first-timer, I can confirm that this one lives up to the hype surrounding the No. 1 musical of all time (it surpassed $8 billionin revenue in 2017, per Wikipedia). Somehow, though, despite being a super high-end production and an earnin...
Stefani Chudnow, BroadwayWorld: Starting from the opening number, you're immediately immersed in the universe of the Pride Lands. The Lion King isn't just a "Disney show" - it's an experience from beginning to end. This extends beyond the costumes and the choreography - the score and the singing is sure to give you chills. Some of these songs inclu...
Richard Whittaker, The Austin Chronicle: First staged only three years after the release of the 1994 animated classic, The Lion King will always be seen as original director Julie Taymor's production. It's driven by her melding of the film's Broadway-friendly tunes and family-friendly plot with her fascination with the extreme potential of the stag...
Brandy McDonnell, The Oklahoman: Happily, "The Lion King" never fails to move audiences, even after multiple viewings. This was at least my third time to see the musical, and I was still captivated when the mandrill Rafiki (the spirited Gugwana Diamini) called out "Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba (roughly translated from Zulu as "There comes a lion") ...
Timothy Shawver, BroadwayWorld: It's the innovative, collaborative visuals Taymor has assembled from Richard Hudson's scenic design, the lighting design by Donald Holder, hair and make up by Michael Ward, costumes by Taymor, and masks and puppets by Taymor and Michael Curry, that are responsible for that success. Their designs, rooted in traditiona...
Linda Hodges, BroadwayWorld: The Lion King is rich with themes of good versus evil, the delicate balance of nature and of course the circle of life of which we are all a part. The story stands alone, but it doesn't hurt to have music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice. Their work is complimented beautifully with additional music and lyrics by Leb...
Madi Lynn Kingsbury,The Daily Wildcat: The cast did amazing. The audience could feel the emotional connection between young Simba, played by Jordan Pendleton, and Mufasa, played by Gerald Ramsey. Their father-son relationship is playful, yet Mufasa is very protective over Simba. Zazu, played by Jürgen Hooper, Timon and Pumbaa, played by Tony Freema...
