[Palace] The Lion King Musical

[dazzer6666]

Hell no. I've been fighting going to any with the mrs. I'd rather send her & the kids with friends & i get a night out

That’s my usual tactic......’nah, don’t worry about me, I’ll be ok. Go with your mates’ [emoji106][emoji106]

If ever a post was worthy of a thumbs down on NSC, this is it.

Fair enough thumbs down accepted. For ‘much better’ read ‘slightly less shit, but still a cheesy load of guff’.

Technically very clever but left me cold.

I'm going in January to the Prince of Wales theatre, did you go there? What's it like never been before, is there a dress code?

I've seen it twice, no dress code, do not go if easily offended or religious! It is absolutely hilarious.

Sadly I'm a thumbs down for The Lion King. Mrs Earle bought me tickets for my birthday as I had always wanted to see it. Very disappointing and the much anticipated big numbers were underplayed as if the producers were ashamed of them. Should have sent shivers down my spine, but just didn't do it for me.

I've been three times and on each occasion I loved every second. I couldn't disagree with opening poster more than if he had said Palace are a good football team.

I've heard it's great!

Saw this a few years back and really did enjoy it. Fully entertaining and really artistic on so many levels.

Saw Lion King years ago, and enjoyed it.

I could not possibly comment as I have not been to The Lyceum since The Capitol Radio best disco in town and seeing Kid Creole And The Coconuts live.
However, if I was to go to London to see a show it would not be The Lion King.

It's a thumbs up from me

 

[atomised]

Not keen myself. One of the finest opening 15 minutes in theatre but downhill from there

What sorta show would you go to London to see though? ! ?

 

[patchamalbion]

Genuinely never heard anyone with that view. I’ve been twice, enjoyed it both times.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

We enjoyed it

If I was to go tomorrow then probably Young Frankenstein, mainly because I adore Mel Brooks, I saw The Producers a few years ago and loved it.
Also I like the look of Labour Of Love.

It's a game of opinions and, personally, I didn't enjoy it, possibly because I didn't think it lived up to the hype. On the other hand, my wife and daughter enjoyed it.

Saw Bat out of Hell recently was brilliant, cheesy storyline but performances did the original album justice (you would have to have loved the original album to enjoy the show).

Don’t waste your money. See Half a Sixpence instead. Aladdin, the Genie aside, is genuinely a terrible production.

Saying that, if you love panto, you may enjoy Aladdin. It’s that kind of level.

Haven't seen Aladdin. But have to agree about Half A Sixpence. Might be old school style but some of the set pieces in that are the best I've ever seen. Energy, timing, almost annoyingly catchy & an amazing cast.

Off to see Kid Creole and ABC in a couple of weeks but not expecting it to be up to the standard of the last time I saw them

The Lion King is excellent imo. Better however are Les Miserables and the Phantom of the Opera with Celinde Schoenmaker was different gravy
