    What makes this show so brilliant is the attention to every little detail. Can you imagine the creativity that went into just this opening scene? People depicting animals while walking across stage on stilts and singing. The stage, the sets, the flawless ness of everything. It’s not my all-time favorite show, but it is one of them, and it is by far best choreographed and creative.

    I am a Musician/Producer, released over 15 Albums and worked with many wonderful artists, but never ever in my life have i heard a voice that touched me more than Thandazile Soni's in her role as Rafiki. Every single time she came on stage, tears of joy ran down my cheeks (not exaggerating)... She is that good. In my humble opinion she is the greatest singer that i have ever experienced. I am in awe and thankful, that i had the chance to listen to something so wonderful. Thank you Thandazile Soni.

    I first saw this performance when my father was in the hospital. He had his days numbered, couldn’t move or talk. All he could do was blink and the whole year our family was struggling. Then my roommate bought me ticket to this show suggesting I get some fresh air. So I sat alone in a theatre packed with excited people, wondering what the hell I am doing here. Soon this song came through the auditorium and I teared up right away because it was so so beautiful and my father would never see anything this beautiful again. That was 2 years ago and my dad passed away on Christmas eve of 2019, but this song reminds me how I wished I could share more good things with him.

    Can we take a moment to appreciate the lighting in this scene? At the start, it shifts from blue to red/orange, night to day, and this represents the birth of Simba, as he is supposed to be the light that shines through darkness in the play. At the end, the lighting shifts the opposite way, day to night, foreshadowing the darkness that is to come later in the play. It's so expertly crafted, every shift in lighting, choreography, voice or anything else represents something and I love it.

But I saw it 1 year ago and it brought tears to my eyes. The songs, amazing scenery and costumes. The way they make it feel like your actual there and not sat in a seat in a dark theatre in the middle of a freezing cold London. What they have produced both the film and the musical is truly beautiful. I am very excited for the upcoming live action film in June 2019.
