A visual masterpiece.. While this is one of the most generic shows to see in the theater district, it's still incredible. The costumes alone make the show worth seeing. A great show for people of any age.

really beautiful and so much talent. sticks very closely to the movie, though, and even the voices are extremely similar. Get an aisle seat in the orchestra!

Myself, my husband, my almost teenage daughter and my young son all saw this magnificent musical. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend it for people of all ages.
