Marina Bay Sands Theater - The Lion King

I am still fascinated with what Marina Bay Sands has to offer. When it first opened, I got to marvel the unique Helix bridge on the path to MBS. Next, I was awestruck by the vastness of the MBS Shoppes even though the shops were not operational. Then, I ride up to the Sky Park which sadly was a disappointment because it's only a 1/4 accessibility. I returned to MBS during the fully operational MBS Shoppes and awestruck for the second time by it's selection of shops. And when the Art Science Museum opened, I explored the interior of the unique Lotus structure for the Salvador Dali exhibition. And lastly within the week of the museum, I returned to MBS for the Sands theaters for The Lion King Musical.

Coming from a high school theater background, I truly enjoyed the experience of theater productions. Gone were the days that I'll be backstage, now I rather be the audience. Though most of my theater that I've attended were by tertiary production and the experience were sub-standard. I also attended a musical which was quite interesting, a different element to theater. It may still be a tertiary production, but the different element truly was a great change.

Now attending a proper theater production, is truly amazing. The Lion King was truly a great experience. The show has a 360 degree experience and thanked Hakimbo for the aisle seats, it enhances the atmosphere. Price may be quite steep for the seats but the location was just superb.

The show truly followed closely to the movie with an added local references which was truly enjoyable. The musical score was orchestrated with an African vibe that truly provided the authentic mood of the Pridelands. The props were beautifully designed for the vibrant visuals. The comical essence was true to the show and local references made it funnier somehow.

My experience for a proper musical theater production has truly been a great one. And the fascination for Marina Bay Sands has not left me. Now, I'm left with dinning, staying over and maybe the casino(which I would rather not, just like smoking).
