The Lion, the Witch, and the WardrobeMy Review:
I thought I'd do a review of a theater production by The Logos Theatre, as it is based off of a book. I've now seen "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" twice, first with extended family in the standard seats and again with two friends in the premium seats. The ages ranged from 6-years-old to 79-years-old, and we all loved this amazing show. There were children even younger than this present at the shows, and they appeared to handle it fine. Both seating areas were good, though the actors do walk down the aisles so I personally liked being near the aisle.
The show closely followed the book, only making a few changes that helped it work better on stage. They brought out the heart of the story: Aslan's sacrificial, redeeming love. The acting was excellent from everyone and drew you into the story. The beavers added just the right touch of humor to keep the story from getting too grim or scary. The costumes and set were well done, and even the music was well chosen to support the needed mood. It's a high quality production, and I'd highly recommend it to everyone, especially fans of the books.
The production is on tour--currently in Branson, MO, next in Washington DC, and then in Williamstown, KY. Check show times and places at: https://thelogostheatre.com/the-logos-theatre-on-tour/
(All opinions are my own, and I got nothing in return for this review. I just want to support an amazing production and make sure people who otherwise might not have known about it will have a chance to enjoy it.)
