Review:
Fun fun fun. Delayed as this review is... it's quite worth the ticket price (I had purchased the $128) as I can see the quality of the props and generally the quality of the singing. I don't know if it was cause I was watching an afternoon matinee, most of them had really great voices, but there was one/two where the voice wasn't that great? Hence. 4.5 stars, instead of the full five. However, it is still a very high score as it kept me entertained throughout! :D
Costuming and Props were GREAT! Considering that I worked as a backstage crew for a theatre production before, I think whoever did the props are the smartest. The props are much better than those from other musical production.
I could be biased, cuz I love animals, but I really like the "animals" inside the Lion King. Redundant statement I know. But they are lovely and I can really visualize what "animal" they are based on their costuming...
The difference between a production and a movie, is you come out amazed that everyone would be able to reproduce the same great show day in and day out... that is commitment and that is talent! :)
Go watch if you are in Singapore, try to sit on the ground level along the aisle :)
