I am Lion hear me roar

Never having seen the Lion King in a London theatre on Broadway or anything I wasn't sure what to expect from a 1/2hr version at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But now I know it’s a musical I have to go and see, not only because it’s such a good film but they go all out with these costumes.

When watching this show the atmosphere of the theatre it’s self plays a huge part, it’s an all round stage with audience on every side so I think that’s what pulls you in even more that there’s so much going on every side there’s always something new to notice every time you watch it (especially if you went four times and watched from a different angle each time) 

Being quite far from the centre stage myself I couldn’t see the costume very close up but it meant I got to see the overall effect and great is an understatement. Just being surrounded by it all you’re pulled into your own Lion King world for 30minutes, which just go way too quickly. What I like about it is that they’re so cleverly designed; it’s not just full of the character costumes (that you see walking round the park) but individually they all have different markings because all animals’ patterns like themselves are different.

Also another thing I also notice when watching any show is the set up of the stage itself, seeing how they do the quick changes, and what was good is that the characters themselves changed the scenes instead of dressed all in black backstage people (because with this scenery they’d stand out more than blend in without being seen. So overall another great show by Disney, that I am seeing again before I leave.
