Lion King Currently Touring in Saint Louis MO – Review
The Lion King touring in Saint Louis MO, is reviewed by Harry Hamm at stlouis.cbslocal.com, Here is the sneak peek of the review:
I’ve seen “The Lion King” several times, and it never disappoints. The overture and the opening number involve the audience with a charisma and spirited, celebratory performing personality that is positively joyful. There’s wisdom and wonderful, ground-breaking creativity that never ceases to amaze and entertain. The show’s staging and production design is magical.
The story is based on the film of the same title from 1994. However, as a piece of musical theater with a cast of 49 and a challenging state-of-the-art puppet ensemble, the story of the lion cub Simba and his father, King Mufasa, takes on a very personal temperament. As Mufasa’s evil brother Scar sets up a plot to kill Mufasa and make it look like Simba’s fault, an age-old family drama ensues set amidst the Pridelands where they all live, and a future of justice and wrong made right must be sought.
Standouts are Dionne Randolph as Mufasa, Brent Harris as the evil Scar and Syndee Winters as Nala. The younger performers in the cast opening night, Zavion J.Hill and Kailah McFadden displayed acting maturity well beyond their years.
