I've seen it. I saw it a couple of years ago though so I imagine it may have changed since then. It was the first show I saw in the West end. It was amazing. There were some really brilliant visual effects. I really enjoyed it. :D

I saw this in 2001 (can't believe it was that long ago) It was my first ever West End musical and i remember being stunned. It is visually brilliant, the costumes are magnificent.

Billy Whiz and I saw this a few months ago. Brilliant show, really enjoyed it.

The costumes (if you can call them that) are fantastic.

I saw it last year and thought it was brilliant,
I was abit worried that the people in the costumes would be too distracting but it was great and didnt distract at all.
Great effects, costumes, actors and great singing.

I was in awe of the costumes, I actually shed a few tears at start.

The elephant was amazing.
