I didnt think much of BOM either, but its the only show i know of where complete non theatregoers (especially non musical fans) have gone to and enjoyed
Very true. I thought it was poor too.

- he'll be laughing too much.
That's debateable.

First thing that came to mind - if you are coming to London. He definitely won't even realise they're singing - he'll be laughing too much. I barely cracked a smile. And the one I did crack was when the curtain came down. (Do NOT get me started on BoM!  )
We need to talk! Wasn't it overrated crap?! My friend and I looked at each other in disbelief at the end.

The Lion King I would say is the number one musical for people who don't do musicals.
And why is that?

No, I don’t get that one either. I would say The Wizard of Oz is the number one musical for people who don't do musicals because because because because because...  |

Sorry I should've clarified... According to my super-accurate personal research ( ) people who are very much into musical theatre will appreciate Lion King for the visual spectacle, but generally criticise it as a piece of theatre Non-theatregoers generally seem to just absolutely love it. The number of people that I've spoken to who, upon learning that I love theatre, say "I saw lion king and it was the best thing ever"! It seems to have that divide. Sure, there's theatre-lovers who love it and non-theatre type who despise it, I'm just massively generalising  |

Absolutely dreadful. I’m mystified as to why it’s so popular. |
