The Lion King Arrives

For the first time, the Lion King has arrived in Chicago for a limited time. Having been a part of opening night, I can tell you that from beginning to end, the show will keep you entertained and is well worth the price.

Known for its spectacular costumes and choreography, the show is a re-telling of Disney’s classic animated movie. The opening number is so involving and really pulls everyone into the show. The cast is incredibly talented from the young actors to the main leads. I can’t say enough about the creativity used to create an African jungle setting and the transition of landscape and use of puppetry really enhance the show.

Appropriate for both adults and children, the show runs just over 2 hours with one intermission and is playing at the Cadillac Theater over in the loop, about a ten minute cab ride from the hotel.

With its popularity, tickets may be hard to come by, so stop by the concierge desk and let us find you the best seats available as well as before or after show dinner plans.
