review by Sammy Gelerman
The musical theatre production of
Disney’s The Lion King performance at
the Providence Performing Arts Center in Providence Rhode Island, was an
outstanding performance for all ages, and all creative minds. The artistic
imagery and choreography makes this story easy to fall into. Your mind will
completely focus, making you believe your involved in the story yourself.
Right from the beginning, the
costumes were breathtaking. Everything looked personally hand made for each
character. They were colorful, detailed and most had moving parts. There is no
way to justify how each actor flawlessly stayed in their character’s voice, and
how beautifully sang their songs.
This performance will make you feel
like a child again living in a magical experience. The audience was engaged at
all times, and would even sing along will all of the songs. The enthusiasm
throughout this performance was contagious.
At the end
of the show, the character playing the monkey made an announcement about
international woman’s day. She called all of the woman who work seven days a
week behind the scenes of the show up onto the stage. We were thanking them and
woman like them who work this hard to make a living. The crowd was wild
cheering at this point, and it was a great way to end such mesmerizing
production. It was the cherry on top of a giant ice cream!
