I saw Lion King in LA for $70 a ticket and while I enjoyed it, I actually like FOTLK more. I've learned that seat location actually plays a huge part my enjoyment of shows. Put me 10 rows back instead of 30 and my interest is much higher. While the seating at FOTLK is just a bench, you are close to the action, with no bad view. Thats the great thing about WDW, you have many, many choices to keep you occupied.

It rocks all right... right to the bottom of the Kali River Rapids if I had my way. I know they are going for hip, cool, and fun, but to me it's hokey.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN Brats! I don't care for them either. Just give me a nice Disney show that doesn't blast my ears out of my head. I don't mind a little LOUD here or there but for 30 mins in a row?!?!?

Originally Posted By MinnieSummer First, to do a show on a level with Broadway would require limiting the number of time a show can be performed each day -- I'm not talking about the length of the show here I'm talking about the sets, costuming, and physical requirements. I'm sure the performers are wiped out after one show as it stands now -- FOLK is a high energy show. Even if the performers aren't in every show every day they still have to crash at the end of the day. So how could it be improved to "Broadway" standards? The music is excellent, the current voices are the best they've had, and the costuming is bright and colorful appealing to the children and families it is targeted to. I've seen it more times to count and I still notice things that I haven't seen before. Sometimes I wonder if they are tweeking the choreography or if there is just so much going on that I miss things. Anyway, I don't think it could be improved and still be a show in a park. As for Tarzan Rocks, I also enjoy this show on an entirely different level. The acro and skating portions of the show are incredible to watch and provide the wow factor for kids. The choreography is excellent. The performers always are high energy and look like they are having a blast. My only complaint is that it is tooooooooo loud. I do agree that it is hokey -- but it's in a family amusement park so I can live with it. Just my humble opinion. I know most people don't agree with me, you guys never do, but I enjoy your letting me state my opinions and only occasionally bashing me.

So in limited runs they feel they can charge whatever they like.....and there are no seats available for something like Spamalot. People were auctioning them off for outrageous amounts because of that fact. This happens a lot here, and we only get the Broadway show long after it has been playing in N.Y. Heck it took us years before we got Lion King -- seemed everyone was ahead of us for that too. The top seats for Spamalot were $350- weekend - box office ( not scalpers or broker)
