I was skeptical about this play because the novel is a master piece of Victor Hugo in 1862 was the first time published. However, it has been adapted as a vivid play-with-music and has its fair share of interesting and even poignant moments, where production feels surprisingly energetic and really becomes much livelier when it reaches the best of the cast feelings with some stories delivered via monologues; divided in two acts, this play had a well-structured contemporary drama. I was speechless because it has been considered as one of the best musical plays in theatrical history and this one, particularly, makes you feel into the story.
All performers moved the heart in an emotional state of love and connection with all parts in the musical with impressive singing with all the musicians’ participation. There were notable standouts especially in each act and songs with the main actors such as Nick Cartell, Preston Truman, Steve Czarnecki, Daniel Gerard Bittner, Eden Mau, Emily Some and more. The Orchestra conductor is Brian Eads with his extraordinary talent.
Cameron Mackintosh’s acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon, made the best and memorable play in Los Angeles where you might enjoy for six weeks at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre from August 1 – September 10, 2023. Definitely, it is worth to see this phenomenal play.

Broadway Theater returns again at Pantages Theater, California. The Lion King, The Award winning best Musical is back with a great spectacle where a lot of people around the world have experienced the awe-inspiring visual artistry. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny on the plains of Africa. But Scar, Mufasa’s brother has different thoughts of the real kingdom of African Pride Lands. This musical will make you laugh and suffer with the beautiful lion cub and friends. Music, costumes and performers were incredibly prepared for all songs. There was a full orchestra in the pit and two percussion sections on both sides of the stage. Characters managed their body language very well and certainly allows for anyone to follow the whole story. To see actors singing and dancing at the same time was very enjoyable. Humor was very remarkable with talented dancers so the play was absolutely stunning. This play includes the best cast for its impressive special sound effects and props. The story keeps the essence of the book and it will be able to capture you more, and you can really use your imagination as part of the animation of the best musical play. The energy of the cast and the creativity of the animal portrayals are unique. Definitely, it is a highly recommended show for everybody.
