Clever, Entertaining, Great singing, Epic, Great staging

See it if You enjoy all of the bells and whistles of a Broadway show, and are looking for a touch of 90's nostalgia.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy puppets, or are looking for a serious piece of theater.

Delightful, Entertaining, Great staging, Great singing, Ambitious

See it if you have the money to spend on a classic show. See it if you enjoy great costuming and singing and the Disney storyline.

Don't see it if you can't spring for good orchestra seats. It is a large theatre and you can feel a little far from the action in the mid to back balcony.

Overrated, Refreshing, Must see, Great staging, Entertaining

See it if You want to see a big extravagant musical. The scenery, costuming and staging was superb.

Don't see it if You've seen the movie a million times. I can't recall a single "extra" story line that wasn't in the movie. Read more

Delightful, Great singing, Classic, Entertaining, Refreshing

See it if you have children, love Disney, love the movie, want to see a fun show, or you want something light-hearted.

Don't see it if you do not like Disney, do not like children, or if you are very fussy about production quality.

Delightful, Entertaining, Great staging, Enchanting, Ambitious

See it if You have young kids. This is a perfect show to be someones "first broadway show" Also if you are a fan of Disney.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy Disney musicals or shows that take place in a different country.

Entertaining, Epic, Fluffy

See it if You admire great technical aspects of theatre, IE costumes, set, lights, or Broadway kids!

Don't see it if It's a Disney show, and sort of fluffy. Great to see, a classic, but not significant in itself

Delightful, Great staging, Entertaining, Great acting, Great singing

See it if You love the movie. The stage production takes the film to the next level - beautiful and clever costumes, new songs... Great for the family

Don't see it if You're looking for something "new" and "refreshing". The production is very well done, but it is still classic Disney.
