Exquisite, Masterful, Must see, Profound, Delightful

See it if You love all things Elton John and Disney. The puppetry is impeccable.

Disappointing, Overrated, Slow

See it if You love Disney. Inventive costumes and designs. Thought Act 1 was sluggish and very long- I got bored in middle.

Don't see it if You get tired easily.
