Review of The Lion King, Rhythms of the Pride Lands at Disneyland Paris
On Tuesday 16th May I watched the Lion King Show at Disneyland Paris with my Dad, Mum and little sister. It’s a 30-minute show with acrobats and live performers.
It was in the Frontierland theatre which has a semi-circle of bench seats. We sat at the back, but the view was great as the seats were tiered. The cast members got everyone clapping and chanting Hakuna Matata before the show started which got everyone in a cheerful mood excited for the show.
The Theatre went dark before the curtains opened. The show started with smoke and Rafik shadow on the curtain singing The Circle of Life, he was joined by other characters all dressed in tribal outfits and animal headdresses. The show told the story of the Lion king through songs which included; I can’t wait to be King, He lives in you and Hakuna Matata.
Two characters that looked like zebras were playing the bongo drums in the background which created a great beat. The songs and music made you feel good, I couldn’t stop singing them afterwards.
The stage lighting/smoke was cleverly used in the songs to create different atmospheres.
The songs were amazing and the actors' costumes were magnificent. My favourite character was Puma, I liked how his costume looked and the actor was funny and suited the role.
My favourite scene was the fighting scene with Muffat and Simba, the moving scenery, acrobatics and the transition from happy to evil was amazing.
The acrobats were incredible how they swung around the stage, but for some reason I felt scared for them.
My overall rating is a 10/10.
It is an amazing show and you must go to see it if you go to Disneyland Paris.
