11-year-old Jasmin Tejeda reviews The Lion King

Today’s blogpost is brought to you by 11-year-old San Francisco school student Jasmin Tejeda (pictured left). Jasmin joined me for The Lion King during its latest run in San Francisco. Here’s what Jasmin made of the production…

If you’re thinking of seeing The Lion King, here are a few things you might want to know about the show. 

The costumes are amazing and the scenery is spectacular. The designs are incredibly detailed. The elephant looks so huge because there were five people acting out as the elephant. All the animals look very realistic. 

The show is fantastic. When the actors sing they also act. When they were sad, I felt sad with them.  

Some things to improve on are cubs having masks, and more liony costumes. Also one of the drum players was more experienced than the other one. I’m recommending all my friends to go see the show.

Thanks Jasmin!
