Broadway Show Review
Though some aspects of this Broadway adaptation of the original movie still seem a bit too cartoonish, the new African-inspired music and director/designer Julie Taymor's breathtaking puppetry and gorgeous stage effects make The Lion King Disney's most innovative stage show so far.

Broadway Review
The Little Mermaid creates a shiny, magical, underwater world onstage and has cast members on barely detectable roller skate footwear, giving the graceful illusion that they're gliding through the water. In addition to memorable songs from the animated Disney film, such as "Under the Sea" and "Kiss the Girl," the Broadway musical version of The Little Mermaid features several new tunes as well.
