Highlights from the Singapore premiere of Disney's The Lion King
Singapore's name comes from its Malay name "Singa Pura" which is translated "Lion City" so it should be of no surprise that Disney's hit musical The Lion King has opened to strong local reviews.
Disney Theatrical Productions shares the following sampling of local reviews...
“If this musical were a lion, it would quite certainly be a king!
There were audible gasps from the crowd when actors costumed as cheetahs, zebras, antelopes, birds, giraffes, rhinoceroses and elephants – all life-size, mind you – strutted through the aisles and onto the stage in a riotous, vibrant procession.” -Corrie Tan, The Straits Times
“Well, it’s everything they say it is. And just that little bit more.
The show’s appeal undoubtedly lies in how beautiful this show is...like a radiantly illustrated book filled with gorgeous, textured auras of jungles and savannahs, with a universal story told via the artistry of the performers, ingeniously evocative puppets and sun-streaked sounds and songs.” -Genevieve Loh, Today Online Read complete review
“A visual treat...Ingenious!
The first five minutes of THE LION KING musical was all it took for the cast to have the audience eating out of its hands for the rest of the night. With Singaporean audiences starved of top-notch Broadway fare of late, THE LION KING - the resident act at the Marina Bay Sands – has clearly earned its deserving place at the top of the food chain.” -Lee U-Wen, The Business Times
The Lion King opened on March 3 2011 and will play 8 shows a week. The show is currently scheduled through May 31.
Every Tuesday - Friday at 8pm
Every Saturday, Sunday at 2pm and 8pm
