text: I have always wanted to see the Lion King on stage since I have always heard good things about it from friends I loved the movie and I suspect there would not be anything I would dislike about this shownnThe opening was simply marvelous with all the colors costumes choreography tied together with the music It brought me back to when I was years old again I loved it But as the show went on I began to realize that it was too much like the movie It left no excitement for me since I already knew what was going to happen Aside from some small minor changes it was like watching the movie againnnThe theater was cramped and the snacks were ridiculously expensive Was it me or did the small bag of gourmet popcorn taste dry as if it is been bagged days agonnAlthough I would have liked to see a little more difference between the movie and the broadway I thought the show was a good show The Lion King is a great story and told wonderfully whether through a movie or a broadway show All in all I am glad that I was able to catch it before it is cancellation and I think that anyone who is a fan of the Lion King should it is worth it
