The Lion King
The visual storytelling is the star for me. Some comic scenes run long, but the inventiveness of the staging never stops being a pleasure. I would be curious to see a different production.

The spoken sections sometimes interrupted the momentum, but the musical passages were worth the wait. Papageno brought a welcome lightness.

A lovely reminder of how much fun a well-timed line can be. A couple of scenes leaned a little broad for me, but the ensemble had terrific rhythm. I would be curious to see a different production.

The storytelling in the first act was wonderfully clear. The transition into the second half felt like stepping into a completely different temperature.


Loved how the musicians and ensemble keep the whole room breathing together. A few passages felt slow, but the final stretch completely won me over.


A long evening, but the care in the ensemble work made it rewarding. The final act had a wonderful sense of celebration. I would be curious to see a different production.

Loved the stripped-back approach. A few jokes felt familiar, but the ensemble found enough bite to keep the satire sharp.

A wonderfully atmospheric score, even when the story stretches credibility. The contrast between the intimate duets and opera scenes is the real draw. I would be curious to see a different production.
