The Lion King Detroit Theatre reviews
Once in a life time experience
Words can not describe this show. Only to say it was wonderful, awesome, terrific, increditable and a must see event. If you only have funds to see a play on Broadway (Pantages Theatre) this is the one to see. If you have children 5+ they will be so amazed at this performance. I sat next to a 6 year old and she just sat there with amazement. During intermission she told me how much she loved the show. I had seen it with my daughter 15 years ago and seeing it again, forgot how fantastic it was. The puppeteering was so real you forget they are not real animals.
Thank you for a great show.
What a magical and memorable experience!!
This is what theater is about. Everyone there was there for the magic of live theater. The community of being part of something special, where everyone one is just as exited to be there as you are, even if they are working. Every employee who is part of Team Pantages, was there to make our experience amazing. From X who worked up front and was able to share secrets of the long history of the Pantages Theater, to the crew who shows us our seats. Everyone took the time to enjoy and appreciate the experience. We can not wait for the next one!! Thank you Pantages for making theater come to life!!
