The Broadway show reminded me on my one of my favorite childhood Disney movie - Aladdin. As an adult and in this fast pace life, it would be best to take a pause, relax, and enjoy this show. There was no dull moments in this show. Highly recommended! show:

Got a cheap seat way up in the nosebleed section on the third tier! This level was almost full, everyone snatching up the cheapest tickets. Luckily, I chose a seat in the front row of the tier. If you're in the back rows of the third tier, it's really not great because the people in front of you block the view. Plus, it's so high up and far away that I couldn't really see the actors' faces clearly (didn't bring my glasses). But the whole performance was so worth it, just magical! It was so beautiful, you definitely won't regret seeing it. I'd recommend Aladdin first, and if you have a chance, then go see The Lion King!

The hotel is a bit far from the city center, but it's very close to the subway station, so consider it if you're on a budget.

After purchasing tickets on Klook, you'll receive a Ticketmaster email. Simply click the link in the email to register and obtain your e-tickets. You can then use the barcode on your e-ticket to scan directly for entry. The stage design is excellent, with advanced, realistic, and beautiful scenery. The actors' singing skills are superb. Sitting in the Mezzanine Left section provided a very clear view. If you don't want to spend too much money, consider purchasing seats in this area. Highly recommended!😆

The hotel is neat, clean, and quiet, but it's located in an area with a somewhat complex security situation. It's advisable to be a little cautious when walking on the nearby streets at night when checking in.
